conscious/subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy Promotes a heightened state of concentration and focused attention within the subconscious mind.

There are two primary types of mind: the conscious mind and the

subconscious mind.

The conscious mind makes up roughly 10% of our mind.

It is responsible for:

 Analyzing

 Thinking

 Making plans

 Short-term memory

The subconscious mind makes up approximately 90% of your mind.

It is the mind that is more powerful. It controls:

 Long-term memory

 Emotions and feelings

 Habits and behavioral patterns

 Involuntary body functions

 Creativity

 Imagination

 Developmental stages

 Intuition

 Beliefs

 Autonomic nervous system

The subconscious mind stores every piece of data ever received and associates it with

emotions, feelings, and beliefs. Our thoughts and actions are based on

our long-term memory and the feelings of association with them.

Hypnotherapy helps you access this powerful part of your mind and promote

fundamental change in behaviors, feelings, and/or beliefs.

Hypnotherapy shines a light on the problems and offers a wholesome solution

through clarity and guided introspection of the subconscious mind.
