Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind which is programmed every day by our thoughts and experiences. For every thought we have there’s a physiological and chemical change in the body. You can only hold one thought in your mind at any one time even though you get a rapid series of thoughtsNegative fearful, anxious, worrying thoughts produce stress hormones, adrenalin and cortisol – fight or flight hormones.

These prepare you to either run from a dangerous situation or stand and defend yourself. During fight or flight oxygenated blood is sent to your arms and legs to run from or fight real or perceived danger.​The immune system is depressed. They stop you healing, sleeping, use up your energy and create inflammation.Wonderful if you have to flee from a burning building or fight your way out of a situation but no use after a cancer diagnosis.​

Positive happy, loving, kind, hopeful thoughts, seeing what can go right with a situation, release endorphins and oxytocin into the body. Endorphins are your feel good hormones, 200 times more powerful than morphine they boost the immune system. They are healing.
