Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnosis
How does Hypnobabies work?
In Hypnobabies, you listen to our medical hypno-anesthesia “scripts” in the form of CD tracks and paper scripts. In doing so, you train your inner mind what to accept. Each week, you add a little bit of training and your inner mind creates a new belief system about childbirth. It accepts that the normal birthing sensations that you will have when you give birth; pushing, pulling, stretching, pressure sensations, will indeed be there, but without discomfort attached to them. You train it to accept cues and techniques to bring you deeper into relaxation and hypnosis, and when you use them on your birthing day they are there for you automatically! Your mind is very powerful and is capable of creating the deepest physical relaxation possible as well as a very comfortable birthing experience.
