Hypnosis is part of non-conventional practices, recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). This gentle and effective therapy helps you overcome blockages, regain balance, and achieve your goals at your own pace.
Hypnosis is a non-conventional therapy recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), which uses a modified state of consciousness to facilitate beneficial psychological and physiological changes. It helps overcome unconscious resistance, manage stress, pain, and certain habits, while placing the patient at the center of their therapeutic journey.
Hypnosis is for anyone wishing to achieve a specific goal, improve well-being, or overcome a blockage, with the exception of individuals suffering from major psychiatric disorders. It is suitable for both adults and children, depending on their needs and therapeutic objectives.
Reducing stress, anxiety, and panic attacks
Improving sleep and pain management
Supporting eating disorders and addictions
Assisting with heavy medical treatments, such as chemotherapy
Managing phobias and behavioral disorders
Personal development and learning self-hypnosis for autonomous practice
The session takes place in a safe and supportive environment. The practitioner guides the patient into a state of deep relaxation or hypnotic trance, while respecting their rhythm and will. Hypnosis is collaborative: the patient remains active and aware of their choices. Certain techniques also allow for learning self-hypnosis, to extend the benefits in daily life.
Ericksonian hypnosis focuses on a non-directive approach where the patient is the main actor of their change. It uses indirect suggestions, metaphors, and sensory experiences to promote lasting change. This method is particularly suited for stress management, anxiety, chronic pain, eating disorders, or support during heavy medical treatments. It is often combined with cognitive-behavioral therapies.
Elmanian hypnosis is a brief therapy based on the power of suggestion to encourage quick and concrete change. It helps reframe negative thought patterns, support habit cessation (such as smoking, sugar, alcohol), and manage anxiety. This method is also useful to prepare the body and mind for heavy medical treatments, improving tolerance and reducing side effects.
