About Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis (Toronto, ON)
Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy is an ancient practice that involves exploring the inner mind to create lasting change in our lives. As a scientifically verified technique, it is capable of affecting dramatic shifts in human behavior, as well as in our physical and mental well being.
Contrary to popular notions, hypnosis is not a state of sleep. In fact it is a natural state of mind that comes about much more often in everyday life than we realize. Every time we are engrossed in a good book, a sports game or some of our favorite music, for example, we are in what is referred to as a hypnotic trance.
By consciously and deliberately inducing this state of mind, we gain access to an aspect of ourselves that is more “suggestible” and therefore open to change. Effective hypnotherapy bypasses our everyday, conscious mind to introduce new thought patterns that can change the way we live.

History of Hypnotherapy
The ancient practice of hypnosis (Toronto, ON) has seen many evolution’s throughout the centuries, shaped by numerous cultural forces that have determined how it is defined and applied. One common thread, however, is that it has always been utilized by healers of all kinds.
The story of hypnosis/hypnotherapy reveals a glimpse into some of the misconceptions we have today. Originated in Egypt, it fell into disrepute in the Middle Ages when the (largely female) practitioners were branded as witches and burned at the stake. It is thought to have been resurrected by an 18th century charismatic healer named Franz Anton Mesmer, now known as the father of modern day hypnosis.
Mesmer believed in astrological principles; namely, that the planets above us have a direct influence on life on earth, by means of distinct physical forces that many considered to be measurable. He at first worked with magnets, applying them to patient’s bodies in theatrical rituals in order to cure illness. His work eventually became known as ‘magnetism’ and ‘gravitation’ – terms he adapted to describe his particular brand of healing.
However, it was the concept of ‘mesmerism’ that most came to associate him with, for obvious reasons. Mesmerism was eventually re-interpreted for religious, spiritual, scientific and entertainment purposes (the latter known today as ‘stage hypnosis’). It was highly influential in a number of movements, some of which are still known today. However, its link to occultism held charlatan connotations for many.
It wasn’t until the 20th century that hypnosis became accepted into conventional western medicine. Many credit the work of pioneers in hypnosis research through the 1920s and 30s, then again in the 1950s and 60s. Worth noting is the work of Clark Hull and his student, Milton Erickson. (Erickson is most closely associated with clinical hypnosis today).
Hypnosis was recognized as a complimentary healing modality by the British Medical Association in 1955, the American Medical Association in 1958 and the American Psychiatric Association in 1961. It is now a widely-practiced modern therapeutic technique.
About Hypnotic Trance
We all know what it is like to be in an altered state of mind, though we may use different language to describe it. Being “in the zone” or “in the daydream” are two examples, and both allude to the experience of hypnotic trance. Another example is the diving trance – how often have you driven past your home? Though we remain in conscious control, it differs from our automated, busy mind frame that propels us through our days and “to do” lists in an increasingly fast-paced world.
Connecting with an altered state of mind allows you to be more receptive to ideas and suggestions that can offer healing and new direction.
