Hypnosis  and Hypnotherapy explained by Alan Gilchrist

Stage Hypnosis

"You are feeling sleepy, very, very sleepy" is the catch-line that many people associate with the stage hypnotist, the watch swinging showman with hypnotic eyes that could pierce a stone.

The above statement is probably the most common perception that people have about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. It is certainly a mythical one and I have spent a lot of time over the last 24 years trying to dispel this myth.

Hypnosis has long been associated with stage shows and the mysterious, and it is for that very reason I had this website designed to set the record straight.

As you browse through my  web site, I do hope you will be enlightened as to the wonderful benefits
that can be achieved by using Fast Track Hypnosis.

Many people assume that while they are under Hypnosis they can be made to do something against their will. If that were the case you would find me, not in my office, but down at the bank manager, swinging a little watch at him, telling him to forget about my overdraft, and we would all be hypnotists doing exactly the same !"

Stage Hypnotists like to give the impression they are controlling a person's mind. In fact, no one can be hypnotised against their will, or forced to do something objectionable. If such a suggestion were given to them they would come out of the Hypnotic state immediately.

Hypnosis used in therapy gives people more control over their lives- not less!

Another myth is, a person may be unable to ever come out of the Hypnotic state and remain "asleep" forever !. If that were the case there would be millions of bodies lying in a trance all over the world and we would all read about it !

Fast Track Hypnosis

My version of Hypnosis which I call "Fast Track Hypnosis / Hypnotherapy " is used to improve a person's general functioning - mentally and/or physically with great effect and to help correct a wide range of problems (See Problems web page).

Hypnosis itself is only a state of relaxation with an altered state of heightened awareness.

People are not treated with hypnosis but are treated in hypnosis!

Whenever a person uses hypnosis the subconscious mind can then accept positive suggestions, which in turn helps them to alter past behavioural problems, such as phobias, stress, confidence, etc, as well as simple ones, stop smoking, weight control, etc.
