What do you think of when you hear the phrase “self care”? Maybe you thought about massages, soaking in a bubble bath, or taking time to read a good book. If the goal of your self care is to relax more and let go of stress, then hypnosis is an ideal way to take care of yourself. Here are 5 great reasons why hypnosis is a powerful tool, and should be a key part of your self care plan:

1) Going into a hypnotic trance state promotes relaxation and reduces stress. People come out of a session feeling amazing, so for that aspect alone, hypnosis is definitely right up there with a massage for self care.

2) Hypnosis can offer longer lasting relief than most forms of self care, by helping you positively change your ability to deal with general stress. Hypnosis can also help you change stress responses to specific triggers, so that you can reduce and eliminate the stressful feelings before they can build up and become overwhelming.

3) Being hypnotized by a professional makes it easier to learn to achieve self hypnosis. Sessions typically include instructions for easily achieving self-hypnosis, so you’ll have a quick and easy way to relax and feel more at ease whenever you need to.

4) Hypnosis sessions can help you create healthy habits more easily, so you can take better care of yourself. Habits like eating nutritious food, drinking enough water, exercising regularly, or sleeping better make a huge difference on how you feel in the long term.

5) Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, hypnosis can help you feel a greater sense of self worth. When self care is a struggle for you, sometimes it means you don’t believe at the unconscious level that you are worth caring for. This is something I see frequently as a root cause for all kinds of presenting issues. As hypnosis helps you shift your deep beliefs to value yourself more, a world of positive experiences can open for you, including a greater ability to take good care of yourself in every aspect of your life.

So, next time you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, treat yourself to a hypnosis appointment instead of a massage. Or do both, because massages are awesome too.
