There are many misconceptions about hypnotherapy that have been impressed on us by books, movies, cartoons and television programs. Hypnosis, therefore, has been associated in the minds of people with control and the super natural. Nothing can be farther from the truth. Hypnotherapy is a natural state of consciousness that we have all been in before. Although the word sleep is used to describe the trance, the patient is far from being asleep. A person in hypnosis is aware of his surroundings in a detached sort of way and is more receptive to acceptable suggestions and exploring the root of a problem. Hypnotherapy FAQ’s.
What is hypnosis and how does it work?
The conscious mind, the part we use during our waking day functions in a critical and logical way with the information that it processes. It does not accept information without first assessing it to decide if it is logically verifiable or 'true'. The subconscious functions in ways that seem almost the opposite of this. This mind accepts all the information it receives without unquestioningly. For the subconscious mind everything seems true.
Within the hypnotic state we work with the subconscious mind. It's important to know and understand that the subconscious mind controls all our habits, emotions and feelings, and if we can access the subconscious and give new suggestions and ideas we can bring about the needed changes. Hypnotherapy brings about changes in behaviour, banish fears or change habits.
As you have learned your current behaviour, you can equally unlearn it. I make this statement because most conditions are conditioned responses…habits. You don’t make have yourself have panic attacks or have anxiety or depression. You don’t deliberately get stressed, have anger issues or overeat. You smoke even though you know its not good for you. All these conditions occur because your subconscious mind believes them to be the only way to be or to respond to situations. You can’t change these issues at a conscious level, even though you may want to, because your subconscious mind will not let go of the learned behaviour until it can create a new way of response.
What does Hypnosis feel like?
The state of Hypnosis doesn't really have any particular feeling and the way it is experienced varies from client to client. There is no 'special' sensation or feeling that can be identified with it but there are general feeling that are reported by the majority of people that have experienced it.
After a session some people report that during the trance they felt very heavy & perhaps there was a feeling of numbness. Others say they felt like a balloon, floating & weightless. Some, not many, say that they felt nothing at all. They just had their eyes closed. Very often clients will experience time distortion when they answer they were in trance for 20 minutes when in fact it may have been nearly an hour.
Some people may say that they weren’t in the hypnotic state. They may say this because they didn’t experience what they had conjured up to what they thought it would be like. Some clients even say that they can’t be hypnotised. Going into the hypnotic state is no different to putting your head on your pillow and entering a relaxed state. Hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation. You cannot be made to say anything or do anything which goes beyond your own beliefs or morals.
The important thing to note is that you will NOT be asleep, or unconscious. No, hypnosis is neither of those two things - it is a state of deep relaxation and suspension of the critical faculties, nothing else. In this state the barriers to the unconscious are down where the root cause of your problem can be established. Hypnotherapy is very safe, has no side effects and can help bring rapid change to the issues affecting your life.
