What is Hypnotherapy?
There are numerous theories of hypnosis.
As a definition, hypnosis may be regarded as a state of increased susceptibility to suggestion.
Hypnosis is not a state of natural sleep but rather, an altered state of awareness. A state that may to the observer appear trance-like and at times not.
The most obvious criteria for the therapist is that in hypnosis the subject accepts suggestions and ideas far more readily and uncritically than usual.
What Happens During A Treatment?
There are many misconceptions associated with hypnosis.
Some based on historical aspects and others reinforced by films, books and articles in magazines or newspapers.
The most common of these misconceptions are:
a) In hypnosis the subject is unconscious and will not hear or be aware of anything - in fact the subject should hear the therapist and be aware.
b) In hypnosis the subject will say or do something he does not want to - this concept is also false. A subject will not discuss a secret or act in a way that will make him / her look foolish. Basically the subject will not say or do something that he would not do when not in hypnosis.
c) What if the subject cannot be brought out of hypnosis? - There is no evidence of a subject ever rejecting a “wake up” process. Some subjects may dehpynotise more slowly than others, but, they all “come out” of hypnosis.
d) What if something happens to the therapist whilst the subject is in hypnosis? –
The answer is obvious, nothing. The subject will awaken by him/herself.
