Well there isn't too much hypnotherapy in Macclesfield and not too many therapists, not like the big cities (have a look in yellow pages - Manchester is full of them) but there again of course Macclesfield is a much smaller town. Many people are put off by the idea of hypnosis, but in fact we all nip in and out of the hypnotic state many times each day. For instance when you are watching a good film you suspend belief for a while. You know the characters are actors. You know they are only acting, and yet your mind for a while believes this to be real. And a good job too! The same occurs when you are reading a book. It is this gentle, relaxed and perfectly natural state that hypnotherapists use to help people over come their physical and mental problems.
