Hypnotism holds a mystique for a lot of people. Think back to the times when someone has spoken to you when you were lost in thought, or reading a good book, or watching a good programme on TV and you didn't hear them. You were in a state of self-hypnotism. It happens to everyone many times a day.
Hypnotherapy is a controlled methodology targetted at a specific issue and you are guided by a professional hypnotherapist.
Neither a hynotherapist nor a hypnotist can make you do anything that you do not wish to do.
I am a trained hypnotherapist and use my skills in agreemetn with you to make permanent changes in your subconscious when you need to change something for the better.
