Hypnosis is the induction of a naturally occurring state of
consciousness (commonly referred to as a trance state) in which
the conscious mind is bypassed and a stronger connection with the
subconscious mind is established. The conscious mind, that
reasoning, evaluating, judging part of your mind, is overcome
through hypnosis and the resulting heightened connection with the
subconscious mind allows for deeper insight and enhances the
potential for more long term growth and change.
This does not mean that you are not aware of, or in control of, your
thoughts, feelings, or actions during hypnosis, your are simply more
open to suggestion and less apt to be critical or judgemental of the
thoughts and feelings that you experience. Throughout the
experience, the participant maintains control of personal
experiences while the hypnotherapist guides the process with
suggestion. In fact, while in a trance state, if you are asked to do
something that you don't want to do....you won't do it.
You may wonder how this could possibly happen. We are actually
subject to it all the time. The advertisers are dedicated to
bypassing our critical judgment, attempting to subtly convince us
that their products are right for us.
We suspend our critical judgment when we adhere to the advice or
suggestions of an authority figure; doctors, clergy, professors, etc.
This is not a state that we are unaccustomed to, but how does this
help in a therapeutic setting?
The process of hypnotherapy is dependent on this critical,
judgemental portion of our mind being bypassed so that we can
effectively develop a deeper awareness of the roots of unhealthy
thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or behaviors. In developing this
awareness, a person is in a better position to create a healthier
existence, follow the suggestions of the hypnotherapist, or let go of
these unhealthy thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or behaviors.
Issues that can be effectively addresses through hypnosis include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Phobias
- Chronic Pain
- Stress Management
- Self-confidence
- Weight loss
- Smoking Cessation
