Hypnosis is a powerful therapeutic tool that can be used to create profound changes in one’s behavioral or attitudinal patterns.
It can be used to alleviate stress to reduce or eliminate unwanted addiction to foods, smoking, alcohol, or other substances.
The Therapeutic Hypnosis is a process that guides you into a natural state of mind that you go into many times a day naturally. It’s very similar to when you’re driving your car for a long-distance (when you reach the off-ramp and you can’t remember how you got there), standing in a long line at a supermarket, doing a boring task or listening to a speaker talk in a monotonous voice. During these kinds of situations, your conscious mind starts to relax and the subconscious mind becomes more active. This state is also known as daydreaming, fantasizing, and spacing out.
Hypnosis is an effective means of change that you can master on your own or you can choose a hypnotherapist as a guide. All of the suggestions are your own. All of the results, that you achieve, come from within by questioning your conscious mind and permuting your inner desires to be met.
As you can see the Delta Brain Waves represent an unconscious mind, the sleep state. When present during a waking state, Delta Waves act as a kind of radar to help you make sense of things that are not understood through the process of active thinking. Delta provides intuition, empathetic attunement, and instinctual insight.
When you enter the state of contemplation with a help of an imaginary guide of your hypnotherapist, your behavior can be modified, good habits replace bad habits, you can analyze and understand past events, deep relaxation can take place, and an overall state of well-being can be gained.
Basically, all hypnosis is a self-hypnosis. Suggestions are as effective as your desire to achieve them. The therapist is only guiding you to your particular needs.
After learning how to relax completely and continue practicing it on your own, you can learn how to hypnotize yourself.
It has become the most commonly asked question due to hypnosis being a frequently used subject in the entertainment industry. Stage hypnosis and the portrayal of it in TV shows and movies have contributed to many misunderstandings of the true nature of hypnosis. The industry appeals to natural human curiosity and fascination with the unknown. But, unfortunately, fails to provide people with an accurate understanding of Therapeutical Hypnosis.
Here are some common misconceptions about hypnosis:
- Some people believe they can lose their own will, come under the “powers” of their hypnotherapist, or do something foolish and silly.
- Others are concerned that they can’t be hypnotized, or that being hypnotized indicates that they are weak-willed.
- Some are also concerned that they might not wake up from a trans.
NONE OF THESE ARE TRUE!
WILLINGNESS IS THE KEY FACTOR
Unless you are willing, you cannot be hypnotized. You are in control of your mind at all times. You can easily switch and utilize your full conscious awareness. A hypnotherapist is just a facilitator who helps you relax so that you can enter the trans-state. You can never be made to do anything against your will or moral/ethical code of behavior.
ANYONE CAN BE HYPNOTIZED
It’s a natural state of relaxation that helps you achieve some form of trans, from very light to very deep states, with the help of imagery and visualization techniques. An ability to be hypnotized is an indication of a very creative and imaginative individual.
YOU WON'T “GET STUCK” IN THE HYPNOTIC STATE
If you happen to fall asleep during hypnosis, you will either awaken automatically when a hypnotherapy session ends or simply fall asleep and awaken after a short nap.
