Cognitive Hypnotherapy is an approach that uses the most recent research on how the mind works to uncover, remove or change the unconscious 'triggers' that can cause negative behaviours or patterns. Hypnosis can assist in discovering the underlying connection between emotion and behaviour and transform it so that the problem disappears. The most common concern people have when considering hypnosis is the fear of losing control. This cannot happen. You can only enter into a hypnotic trance voluntarily; the hypnotherapist is simply a guide and does not have any 'power' over you. You retain control at all times.
