HYPNOFERTILITY AND HYPNOBIRTHING IN HARLEY STREET AND HERTFORD
Dr Caroline McGee
Welcome to my hypnofertility and hypnobirthing website. I hope it will give you a better idea of how the power of hypnosis can be used to enable you to conceive or to have a relaxed natural comfortable birth for your baby. I am a psychologist and clinical hypnotherapist based in Harley Street and Hertford. I have many years experience working with both adults and children and am a published author and international speaker. I know only too well the heartache of struggling to have a baby and am passionate about enabling people to welcome their baby into this world.
Hypnosis is an entirely natural phenomenon that we all experience every day. It is that deeply relaxed state that we enter just before we fall asleep or immediately on wakening in the morning. Ever driven along a familiar route, got to your destination and thought "I don't actually remember anything of that journey?". That is a well-documented phenomenon called "highway hypnosis". Other naturally occurring hypnotic states include daydreaming or becoming so totally engrossed in a book or tv programme that we are totally oblivious to what is going on around us.
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness characterised by profound physical and mental relaxation. In this very pleasant, deeply relaxed state our minds become more focused and we can access the subconscious mind allowing us to change harmful patterns of behaviour eg stopping smoking.
LEARN MORE ABOUT HYPNOSIS Can everybody be hypnotised? Virtually anyone can be hypnotised, provided they want to be.
Will I be asleep?No, you will not be asleep. You will feel deeply, deeply relaxed but be aware of what is happening around you.
Will I lose control?No, you will remain in control at all times. In hypnosis nobody can make you do anything that you don't want to do.
Can I get "stuck" in a trance?No, just as you choose to enter into hypnosis, you can choose to emerge from a trance at any stage. (You are always in control in hypnosis).
