Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy focuses on “how to get better” rather than “why it’s bad”. It is SOLUTION-oriented.
The patient and the therapist work together towards a common goal: finding a lasting improvement of the patient’s situation. By using mental suggestions, hypnosis transforms negative perceptions of an experience into more positive perceptions of that experience.
This brings forth a different understanding or view of a situation and thus changes inappropriate behaviour related to it.
Hypnosis helps us overcome difficulties, improve our lives, know ourselves better, and become the person we have always wanted to be by activating our potential, which is sometimes buried.

Course of the session
Between 2 and 4 sessions of hypnotherapy are sufficient to get results.
THE FIRST SESSION: It lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes. The hypnotherapist has a long discussion with the patient in order to discover the reason for the consultation, the bio-psycho-social context, the personal, medical, and family antecedents, the life habits, and the diet in order to seek the cause of the symptoms. Then comes the practice of hypnosis.
HYPNOSIS SESSIONS: They last about 1 hour. The patient sits or lies down, listening to the mental suggestions given by the practitioner. 1, 2, or 3 sessions can be spaced a few weeks apart until the expected result is reached.
