There are two key concepts for understanding why hypnosis is such an important tool for creating life changes.<\/p>\n

Homeostasis:<\/strong> Homeostasis is our innate unconscious drive to \u201cstay the same\u201d, that is to say resist all changes at a subconscious level.\u00a0 While we may desire a change in our feelings, reactions or habits, at a deeper level our subconscious defense mechanisms seek to preserve the status quo, ie\u2026 resist all efforts to change.\u00a0 So while talking, planning, discussion and rational understanding of behavior are all important concepts, they do not address our subconscious need to sabotage our success and\/or efforts to change.<\/p>\n

Neuroplasticity:<\/strong>\u00a0 On a personal, spiritual and behavioral level, neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to change throughout an individual\u2019s life. Our ability to changes beliefs, emotional responses and behavioral habits is dependent on the flexibility of our mind.\u00a0 Hypnosis, Therapeutic Imagery, NLP, mindfulness and more are the tools used in hypnotherapy to facilitate the internal, emotional, behavioral flexibility need to overcome homeostasis and release our subconscious needs to sabotage our success or resist our desires for change.<\/p>\n

Think of a Hypnotherapist as a Life Coach for the Subconscious Mind.<\/p>\n
