As soon as the treatment begins to work, the illness tries to lodge itself even deeper into your body, emotions or psyche. The result is that you start to feel bad. You may even start to feel very ill. Even more ill than before you sought help and this could continue for some time. Psychologically, because you feel so bad you begin to think that what you are taking is making you ill when this is not the case. This is called a healing crisis because the crisis is that you feel bad and are not aware that in fact you are – healing.

To understand how hypnotherapy can help you, you need to understand how it works and what it involves. Hypnotherapy is a natural process much like the state between being awake and asleep called the hypnoidal point. It makes you more open to positive suggestions and allows you to make good changes by nudging your subconscious into the desired thought process. In this state you are completely aware of things around you but are reinforcing positive thoughts in the subconscious mind which is what drives the conscious mind in our waking state. The way you feel during a session can differ for each person but generally it makes you feel relaxed and refreshed. This makes it excellent for stress as it allows you to stop and take a break for a moment as well as teaching you new skills.
