Hypnosis in Sugar Land
Hypnosis for smoking cessation, habits, stress and sleep, and support alongside medical care, with a practitioner trained in medicine and psychological wellness.
What hypnosis is
Hypnosis can be understood as a natural state of focused awareness. We all drift into similar states every day: absorbed in music or a conversation, lost in a book, unaware of time passing. Self-hypnosis is close to meditation and mindfulness.
In a session, a hypnosis practitioner guides you into that focused state and uses it to rehearse new responses to cravings, stress or discomfort. You stay aware and in control the whole time.

An important note
Hypnosis is not psychotherapy or medical treatment and does not replace care from your physician or therapist. Our hypnosis practitioner is not a U.S. licensed physician or licensed therapist.
Common myths
You will not be made to do anything against your will, and you will not reveal secrets you do not want to share. Most people describe hypnosis as deep relaxation with a narrow focus. You can hear everything and can end the session at any time.
Hypnosis with counseling
Hypnosis is often used together with counseling. If you are working with one of our therapists on anxiety, sleep or a habit, hypnosis can be one more tool in the plan, and the two can coordinate with your permission.
