Generally, it is a relaxing and enjoyable experience where beneficial suggestions are made as you are guided to the area of your subconscious that you wish to focus on.<\/p><p>Clinical Hypnosis is extremely effective at helping clients \u2018unlearn\u2019 and re-work old limiting beliefs, reconditioning the subconscious mind with the beliefs and behaviours you wish to experience in your life.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Stress, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Unwanted Behaviours\/Habits, Fears and Phobias etc can all be addressed through Clinical Hypnosis. As you can imagine, the list of specific issues which can be addressed would be extremely long!&nbsp;<\/p><p>Everyone\u2019s fears, phobias and personal insecurities are unique to them. For some it is a difficulty with feeling loved and accepted or a general lack of confidence. For others it is a fear of being seen as a failure or speaking in public; or it may be a phobia of spiders; or a desire to stop smoking; and\/or to reduce or stop drinking alcohol so much.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>Whatever the issue you may be considering addressing with Clinical Hypnosis, the reality is all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You, the client, must give permission for the suggestions made to take effect at the subconscious level of the mind. You the client are always in control.&nbsp;<\/p><p>All sessions are recorded, and it is advised you listen back to your session(s), to review and re-enter the hypnotic state in your own time, where changes in the subconscious can be further embedded.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Clinical Hypnosis sessions at Metta Therapy are designed to guide you into a safe and relaxed state of mind where beneficial suggestions can be made and more readily accepted and absorbed by your subconscious mind.&nbsp;<\/p><p>If you would like to know more and to ask any questions you have about professional Clinical Hypnosis and how it can benefit you, please call to book Free Consultation.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-118-139 bde-button\">\n    \n                                    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link button-atom button-atom--primary bde-button__button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildflowersandpixels.com\/metta\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Book Free Initial Consultation<\/span>\n\n        \n        \n                <\/a>\n\n    \n\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-accordion__content-wrapper-118-146 bde-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"bde-accordion__title-tag\">\n  <button type=\"button\" class=\"bde-accordion__button\" id=\"accordion-button-146\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-146\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__title\" >Is Clinical Hypnosis Safe?<br><\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--default\"><\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--active\"><\/span>\n  <\/button>\n<\/h3>\n\n<div role=\"region\" class=\"bde-accordion__panel\" id=\"accordion-panel-146\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-button-146\">\n    <div class=\"bde-accordion__panel-content\">\n        <div class=\"bde-rich-text-118-122 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Absolutely! When carried out by a suitably qualified and experienced professional, Clinical Hypnosis is an entirely safe and natural therapeutic approach.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Some people worry they will lose control or be vulnerable and under some kind of spell or mind control. As discussed before, this fear-based concern is probably due to the unhelpful use of hypnosis by stage performers who use the naturally occurring state of hypnotic trance for entertainment purposes, rather than for improving lives.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><p>You cannot be controlled or get \u2018stuck\u2019 in a hypnotic trance. You cannot be made to go into a hypnotic trance state against your wishes if you do not want to. Some people pride themselves on having a strong mind and when talking about hypnosis will say: \u2018You will never be able to hypnotise me, my mind is too strong!\u2019 And they will be right! Not because their mind is strong but because you cannot \u2018make\u2019 anyone go into hypnosis without their consent.&nbsp;<\/p><p>There are a few myths and stereotypes about hypnosis which generally come from an outdated perception involving swinging pocket watches and stage hypnotists appearing to make people dance with brooms or cluck like chickens. Hypnosis can and certainly has been used to entertain people through audience participation shows over the years.<\/p><p>At Metta Therapy, however, we believe this is not the best use of hypnosis and is a somewhat ethically dubious practice. Clinical Hypnosis can be used safely and effectively for therapeutic purposes, rather than for \u2018entertainment\u2019 purposes.&nbsp;<\/p><p>We take great care to work collaboratively and compassionately with you the client to safely and effectively help you make deeply desired changes in your life.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-button-118-148 bde-button\">\n    \n                                    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n            \n                    \n            \n            \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    <a class=\"breakdance-link button-atom button-atom--primary bde-button__button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wildflowersandpixels.com\/metta\/contact\/\" target=\"_self\" data-type=\"url\"  >\n\n    \n        <span class=\"button-atom__text\">Book Free Initial Consultation<\/span>\n\n        \n        \n                <\/a>\n\n    \n\n\n<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-accordion__content-wrapper-118-149 bde-accordion__content-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"bde-accordion__title-tag\">\n  <button type=\"button\" class=\"bde-accordion__button\" id=\"accordion-button-149\" aria-controls=\"accordion-panel-149\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__title\" >How will I Know if I Can Be Hypnotised?<\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--default\"><\/span>\n     <span class=\"bde-accordion__icon bde-accordion__icon--active\"><\/span>\n  <\/button>\n<\/h3>\n\n<div role=\"region\" class=\"bde-accordion__panel\" id=\"accordion-panel-149\" aria-labelledby=\"accordion-button-149\">\n    <div class=\"bde-accordion__panel-content\">\n        <div class=\"bde-rich-text-118-128 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Some people are very receptive to the natural state of hypnosis.
