You can also boost your wellness to become a healthier, happier individual with hypnotherapy.
Before you start hypnotherapy, Dr. Cheri spends time with you discussing your goals for treatment and for your future. She offers this type of therapy in a comfortable office setting and monitors your progress throughout each hypnotherapy session.
During your hypnotherapy session, Dr. Cheri helps you get into a state of focused attention or intense concentration through repetitive verbal cues. You enter a trance-like state where you remain fully aware of what’s going on but appear to be deeply relaxed or asleep.
While you’re in this state, Dr. Cheri makes suggestions that help you recall past events or experiences that may be traumatic. Your heightened state of awareness may make it easier for you to be open to information you may ignore in a normal mental state.
Dr. Cheri gently guides you out of the trance-like state when your hypnotherapy session ends, so you’re again fully conscious. There are minimal risks associated with hypnotherapy. Some people may have a mild headache or feel drowsy after their treatment.
