Hypnotherapy is a process of guided relaxation, intense concentration and focused attention to reach a heightened state of mind. Experts usually call this type of awareness as a trance. The awareness is so intense that it's fixated on one subject alone. This subject shall then serve as the centre of the person's consciousness. All this is done with the help of a trained therapist.

People who subject themselves to hypnotherapy are well-functioning beings who wish to make changes in their lives. It is basically a part of them that they have been longing to change for quite some time but is unable to do so. They subject themselves to this process for the inner workings of their mind get tapped and will be programmed differently.

They are on their functional mindset because their awareness to such act is present. People who have failed to see what is wrong on their behavioural pattern don't have the same awareness as the people who succumb to the process of hypnotherapy.

The person who wants to make changes in his life would want to overcome his phobia and take the step towards it. However, even when they've tried to do so somehow he still ends up wanting to surrender to fear. And so he seeks help to these trance-inducing professionals and get into the process of mind dissection.

Explanation of Behaviour

On this first step, the hypnotherapist exposes the subconscious motivators of the client's behaviour. Take the case of fear of heights. Subconsciously, the mind operates by categorising the situations with the pain/pleasure principle. The first to recognise such principle was Sigmund Freud. It basically states that humans seek things that are pleasurable and avoid those that are painful or in this case, fearful.

On such case, experience is the best teacher, a practitioner from hypnotherapy SA up in Adelaide, exclaimed. Every event in a person's life is documented subconsciously and majority of the responses are anchored on those experiences that triggered extreme emotions. This is what active perception is all about.

Perhaps the reason why he is afraid of heights is because of a life threatening experience he once had. The mind registered that moment to the pain and fear category. This triggered his natural response to cringe and avoid such activities that would bring about such events once more.

Remember, a person is biologically designed to survive. The mind will go through a lot to keep that notion intact. On that moment on, the survival instincts kick in. As it does, the body follows what the mind programs.

As he reaches the gate of the plane, his mind begins to contemplate the events that could result to the replay of that traumatic moment. The first wave is unnoticeable, just some gestures of hesitation. However, when the final wave comes, his human instinct kicks in - he panics. It is the same logic as touching a livewire. By knowledge, it will electrocute anyone who touches it so why do it? However, on this case the subconscious is involved and the reaction automatically heightens.

When a person is under a hypnotic state, they are put in a moment that explores painful thoughts, feelings and memories concealed by their conscious minds. As they are able to focus on those aspects, this enables them to perceive things differently. They are in a state of looking at their own mind - this allows them to block whatever it is they wish to change in their life.

This procedure is very sensitive because a mistake could result to some alterations in the person's mind. This is why people who practice such receptive procedure, like the ones practicing the well-known Hypnotherapy Adelaide program are licensed professionals who have undergone countless training to perfect it.
