Conventional medical doctors are becoming increasingly aware of the effectiveness of hypnotherapy and are starting to refer more of their patients to Hypnotherapists to complement their treatments.
The National Institute of Health and the American Medical Association have endorsed hypnotherapy as an effective alternative therapy. The experience of hypnosis is gentle and calming, and you can enter into deep states of relaxation, where the mind willingly becomes more passive. This state of mind allows beneficial ideas or thoughts to be absorbed and processed by the unconscious or creative mind, paving the way to positive and lasting change.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic application of hypnosis, a state of mind which everyone is capable of achieving. It is a powerful, influential communication, which utilizes both conscious and subconscious resources for healing and growth. The practice of hypnosis began thousands of years ago, and it has been used since in many forms and contexts (healing, guided imagery, relaxation, yoga, NLP etc.) Hypnotherapy uses various means to activate and strengthen the person, through harnessing the mind's full capacities, mainly in a trance state. In trance, the ability to communicate with inner processes is enhanced and intensified. The hypnotherapist guides the client into a trance, a wonderful state of relaxation; thereafter, the client and therapist work together to induce the desirable changes and to internalize them.
Hypnotherapy Facts You Should Know:
- Hypnotherapy is pleasant state of mind, similar to daydreaming, in which you become very receptive to proper suggestions.
- The effects are feelings of calmness, tranquility and profound relaxation.
- You will not actually be asleep or unconscious. You will always be aware of your surroundings, but you'll easily disregard the normal elements in the environment.
- You will always remain in control and be able to awaken yourself at any time.
- You will reject any inappropriate suggestions.
- You cannot get stuck in hypnosis. If you are left alone, the absence of the hypnotist's continued dialog will cause you to come out of it.
- The depths of hypnosis can be divided into three levels: light, medium and deep, and varies with each person. The lightest level is sufficient to break most habits. The most important factors are your motivation and ability to accept and follow the suggestions.
- Anyone of average intelligence can achieve a state of hypnosis. If you can focus your attention and use your imagination, hypnosis will probably occur immediately. For varying reasons, some people do require some additional time and practice.
- You cannot be hypnotized against your will. If you do not want to experience hypnosis, you won't.
- Because hypnosis is a familiar and natural state of mind some people experiencing hypnosis are not sure if they were hypnotized or not.
- Persons that expect to be unconscious might think they were not hypnotized because they retained awareness of the surroundings. Hypnosis is a state of heightened awareness and focus, not a loss of consciousness.
- You'll remember your hypnosis session.
- Your attitude about reaching your goal is very important. A good attitude produces good results.
- To achieve the maximum benefit from hypnotherapy, you must be willing to practice the self-hypnosis and/or listen to hypnotic audio tapes designed to reinforce positive suggestion.
Will I lose Control?
Do you give up control of your minds during a movie? Of course not; Hypnotherapy is about having more choices in life. You can choose to accept the suggestions, but you can always choose not to. In fact, during trance you will experience more control over your body, mind and spirit than in your everyday life. Throughout the history of hypnosis, many people (mainly during stage hypnotists) contributed to the myth of mind-control. However, it takes a lot of control to let go. Your body and mind are the strongest bodyguards and will help you to stay in as much control you need. Should you feel uncomfortable with the therapist, either try to discuss it with him or her, or find another therapist, with whom you are comfortable.
Will I forget anything said?
Total amnesia is not likely to occur. Nevertheless, since trance is a different state of consciousness, the access to that information outside trance is sometimes difficult. However, special suggestions can be given to remember the session.
Will I fall asleep?
Hypnosis is not sleep. Natural sleep is measurably different than hypnotic trance. However, trance usually involves deep relaxation, in which conscious movements are not likely to occur and breathing patterns change. The hypnotized clients might look as they are asleep, but they only deeply relaxed.
