WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY

Hypnotherapy is the application of therapy during hypnosis, to change or modify behaviour patterns that we wish to change.

Hypnotherapy deals with Psychosomatic problems that is, problems of the mind that are rooted in and controlled by the subconscious mind.

In Hypnosis, the conscious and sub conscious mind to work together on the problem at hand.

Hypnotherapy does not control your mind!

Hypnotherapy empowers you to take control of your mental resources to bring about the changes you want. You are always in control of your mental resources to bring about the changes you want.

Hypnotherapy, and the therapist cannot make you do anything against your will, and nothing you would do in your normal state of mind.

With some work, a good therapist, and a good client who really wants to make changes and is fully motivated to do so, a very good rate of success can be expected in most cases.

Who can be hypnotised? I would say that virtually everyone can be hypnotised if they have a good therapist and wish to cooperate with them in order to work on the problem with which they are presenting.

What does hypnosis feel like? I know how it feels to me, but it feels different to some people than to others. I would explain it as a relaxed easy feeling and a heightened state of awareness. Sometimes you may be prone to drift away for a while just like day-dreaming, and you might just as easily be concentrating on your therapist s voice. Your good therapist will ensure you get the very best from your hypnotherapy session and will guide you in everything you need to know.

Hypnotherapy is not magic but it sometimes feels magical!

“Hypnosis” refers to the power that words and ideas have when we surround these words and ideas with our complete attention. A hypnotist or an operator delivers words and ideas.

You don’t need any special qualifications to deliver words that will change your life or help change your subject’s life. Hypnosis, the power that words have when surrounded by one’s complete attention is as old as the spoken word itself.

You may know PHD’s that work as hypnotherapists and you may know door to door salesmen that use hypnosis in their job. The truth is, no academic title or course completion certificate will ever tell you how good a hypnotist is.

Hypnosis is not what you get to see in movies, where it belongs to the domain of physics. Hypnosis has gain medical standing in recent years in terms of pain management. Hypnosis is even used in assisting people to quit smoking and losing weight.

The nice part about it is that with a little study you can be a very effective hypnotist.

Always remember, however, to read all you can about hypnosis. You will learn not only from books but also from each and every subject you hypnotize. You are going to learn words and script that will assist you in achieving positive results with your hypnotic subjects.

Any hypnotherapist who is professionally trained and accredited will inform a new patient that not everyone responds to hypnosis power of suggestion. The truth is that some people are much more able to benefit from hypnosis than others. Some are more resistant to the idea of being completely relaxed and cannot seem to allow messages to penetrate their subconscious. Others, actually the majority of people, are open to the thought changing process of hypnosis and can benefit from its healing abilities.

In order to increase the likelihood that hypnosis will work for you, there are steps you can take to prepare yourself. It helps if you also understand that in order to be hypnotized you must be a willing participant. No one can be placed under the effects of hypnosis without wanting to be. Take these steps to increase your willingness and the effectiveness of hypnosis.

1. Make the decision. You need to decide consciously that you will give hypnosis a try. If for example, you have tried to lose weight through fad dieting or even more proven methods, but still haven t succeeded, then you need to accept the idea that millions of people have been able to lose weight using hypnosis, and that means you can too. Having a positive attitude and open mind will also allow you to relax effectively so hypnosis can work.

2. Find a therapist you trust. Hypnosis requires a completely relaxed mental and physical state to work. You need to do some research into the credentials of the hypnotherapist in whom you are placing your trust. You can ask for references and call those clients to be sure they had a positive experience. If you are using self-hypnosis, be sure the person creating the programs is qualified to do so.

3. Continue the process on your own. Hypnotherapy sessions in an office generally run from 30-60 minutes. You can follow up on the therapy through self-hypnosis programs that compliment your objectives. These are meant to be played each night before you go to sleep.

4. Use refresher sessions. Hypnosis can work almost immediately, as in the case of quitting a smoking habit. You may find that with hypnosis you can quit cold turkey. However, it is not uncommon to face temptations to light up again, even if you have gone months without a craving. If this happens, revisit your hypnotherapist or restart a self-hypnosis program at home where you replay the therapeutic CD for another week.

5. Keep an open mind. Again, hypnosis is only effective if you are a willing participant. It has the power to break bad habits, motivate you for change, and build confidence. It can even heal illness, boost the immune system and give you the power to succeed.

Hypnosis is most effective when you are frequent, consistent, and confident it can work for you. Make hypnosis a habit by using self-hypnosis programs for at least 21 consecutive nights. Through this process you will develop the skills to relax and allow the message of the hypnotic script to work at modifying behaviors and achieving goals.
