Even though stage hypnotists and TV shows have damaged the public image of hypnosis, a growing body of scientific research supports its benefits in treating a wide range of conditions, including pain, depression, anxiety and phobias.  Hypnosis works and the empirical support is unequivocal in that regard. 

In fact, a study analysis from 1970 found hypnosis to have a 93 percent success rate, with fewer sessions needed than both psychotherapy and behavioral therapy.  This led researchers to believe that, for changing habits, thought patterns, and behavior, hypnosis was the most effective method. 

We know that your subconscious is always taking information in, proven studies have shown that when the brain is in Theta state which is sleeping it is the most powerful time for you to introduce ideas to your subconscious. 

This relaxed and suggestible state can help people to get a different perspective on their addictive behaviors.  What normally seems impossible—quitting a substance or behavior that is central to one’s existence—can seem achievable and desirable.
