Chrysalis Counseling Service

In a session that includes hypnosis, a person allows their attention to be focused inward. In this relaxed, trance state, our brain becomes more involved in creative thinking. We become more open to thoughts and ideas that are presented through the use of symbols, metaphors and stories. The effects of hypnosis can be immediate and quick or more subtle and gradual. Each person is unique and responds to hypnosis in their own way.  At all times, the person has choice and control over how the session will proceed. Even while in a trance state, a person will not do something that does not fit with their values and beliefs. Hypnosis can be used to address a wide range of goals, including improving self-esteem, changing habits, weight loss and improving mood.
