NYC Hypnosis
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a process of achieving an altered state of consciousness.  It's similar to daydreaming.  With your conscious mind occupied or turned off, the messages from the hypnotist go into your subconscious.  The effect is that new attitudes and behaviors can be suggested so deeply that they can become as integrated as if you'd been that way for years.  For example:

It becomes natural to reach for the water bottle instead of a cigarette.  The idea of buying ice cream now turns your stomach.  The extra hour or so is just enough time to get to the gym instead of wasting time on the computer.

What does it do?
Hypnosis can be used to change behaviors:

Smoking cessation
Diet and exercise
Nailbiting or hair pulling
Procrastination

Hypnosis also changes attitudes and feelings:

Phobias and fears
Obsessing about an old relationship
Panic attacks and anxiety

I also use hypnosis to help with health issues.  Cursor on them for more detail, click on them for even more info:
