Hypnosis is a natural, completely safe tool which allows you to experience more control in your life. Dr. del Castillo uses hypnosis as a therapy to help men and women with issues including: improving self esteem and confidence, coping with stress and anxiety, bettering study skills, achieving weight loss, stop smoking, managing and eliminating chronic pain, and preparing for surgery. Start changing your life – by changing your mind!
Hypnosis, often referred to as hypnotherapy or hypnotic suggestion, is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person has heightened focus and concentration and is highly responsive to suggestions. It works by updating the unconscious mind with new and more helpful information, like reprogramming a computer. It can be used to change associations, for example, so that cigarettes are no longer seen as “friends,” and are more realistically regarded as “toxic killers.” It can also be used to mentally rehearse better ways of going about things, such as being able to deal with stressful situations without having to light up.
What to expect at a hypnosis session?
Hypnosis is done with the help of Dr. del Castillo using verbal repetition and mental images for self improvement. After a short assessment on whether you are a good candidate for hypnosis, you can discuss your goals with Dr. del Castillo and then with your permission you will begin the hypnosis session. Frequently several sessions are required but occasionally one is enough.
