Welcome to you

Hi, and welcome to Don Sheehan Hypnosis. I sincerely hope that this site will provide you with the relevant information for you to gain appreciation of the benefits that Hypnotherapy can bring to you.

I've been studying Hypnosis for many years, and am a Certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, which is a worldwide organisation containing over 12,000 members, with over 100 local chapters in 65 different countries. I work with people in the East Cork/West Waterford region, and am based in Youghal.

Coming from a sporting background, I have a keen interest in working with sports people and have seen the benefits of hypnosis in strengthening the positive thoughts that enhance performance. In most sports it's important to dispel negative past experiences and accentuate the positive.

Hypnosis has been used in many self-improvement categories, such as weight loss, nail-biting, and smoking. It has been used to control bed-wetting and thumb-sucking habits in young patients.

Many of the programs that enhance intelligence or education-related skills involve the use of hypnosis -- speed reading and memorization improvement are two examples. Individuals simply seeking to better themselves in their professional careers may seek the services of a hypnotist; the same holds true of artists of all kinds -- actors, musicians, writers.

Hypnotherapy has become more and more widely accepted because it does not involve potentially habit-forming drugs, has no serious side-effects and is inexpensive.

There are many misconceptions and myths regarding hypnosis, and I address these on this website.
