1. Is hypnosis just relaxation? FAQ update

   Posted on 10:00am Wednesday 28th Mar 2018

   No, this is an outdated idea. Evidence finds that hypnosis is a state of deep focus. You can be in hypnosis without feeling relaxed (watching a horror film) and you can be relaxed without being in hypnosis.

   Relaxation is often used to help quieten your mind and enter hypnosis (it's super useful for much of the birth journey) but during transition and 2nd stage you might feel more energised than relaxed...

   If you're able to keep focused you're in hypnosis, no matter how relaxed you are.

6. An unplanned hypnobirthing homebirth!

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 8th Mar 2018

   Congratulations to Alexandra in Jersey...
   
   "I ended up having an unplanned home birth after being sent away from the hospital. The midwife on duty said I was too relaxed to be in labour.
   
   I gave birth within 3 hours of leaving the hospital and think the hypnobirthing training got me through labour safely.
   
   Since then, I have had an apology from the maternity ward who are going to review their processes for hypnobirthing patients."
