The Simple Truth About Hypnosis?
Thanks to stage shows & television, many people have a bad impression of hypnosis, which is a shame because hypnotherapy is a techniquee that can help many people to make difficult changes to improve their quality of life. Therefore I felt it would be useful to start with the simple truths are about hypnosis.
Self Hypnosis:
Hypnotism is a state of hyper-suggestibility where the conscious mind and the subconscious dissociate. It is a state of consciousness where the hypnotized person can more easily adhere to the Hypnotist’s suggestions.
What many people won’t have realised is that they will have entered a hypnotic state many times in their lives to date. If you’ve ever been moved to tears by a sad tv show or movie, you have entered a state of increased suggestibility where the suggestion of sadness presented on the TV has triggered an emotional &/or physical response. Your ability to reason, which is controlled by your conscious mind, has been bypassed, so you do not rationalise that the events being presented to you are not real, and you respond emotionally as though they are.
Who Can Be Placed Under Hypnosis?
Research has learned that the vast majority of people are susceptible to hypnosis. The exceptions generally are subjects with an I.Q. of less than 70, psychotic personalities and those suffering from senility. Age however is no barrier, and most people can benefit from self hypnosis techniques, so long as they are motivated to do so.
How involved does a subject need to be to benefit?
In most cases, you can be the lightest possible subject and still obtain all of the benefits from self hypnosis. For many years, a great deal of importance has been placed on how deep a subject is, but research has shown that this may not necessarily be the case. With the latest state of the art “NLP” and hypnotic methods, hypnotic depth is one of the least imperative aspects, which contributes to the treatment success.
Are There Any Dangers Associated With Self Hypnosis?
There are on the whole no dangers to practicing self hypnosis. The most “negative” possibility is that the subject may fall in to a relaxed sleep for up to an hour.
