Hypnosis has been associated with something mysterious and magical and, this has of course been reinforced by the way it is portrayed in films and various performances. But it may surprise you to learn that we all, every day, experience some form of hypnosis in our lives! When we are in hypnosis we are in a state of deep relaxation and increased receptivity to what we hear. Since every moment of our lives we are accepting or rejecting the information we hear, you can understand that we are experiencing a form of hypnosis every day.
An advertisement that we will see and then buy this product without thinking too much about it, words that our parents, our classmates, our teachers used to tell us when we were young about whether we were beautiful/ugly, fat/thin, smart/stupid, capable/incompetent. Everything that has been passed and written in the subconscious mind has been done through suggestions that while we were in a form of hypnotic state, that is, a heightened receptivity to sentences, managed to bypass our conscious mind and imprinted in the subconscious.
Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses hypnosis to help treat various medical and psychological problems. It works by inducing a hypnotic state characterized by a state of pleasant, deep relaxation and increased awareness. During this state we can and and do override the resistance normally put up by the conscious mind and achieve the desired changes with new ideas and suggestions placed directly into the subconscious mind..
When performed by a trained and qualified hypnotherapist, the benefits can be long-lasting and often permanent.. It has a 93% success rate and fewer sessions are needed compared to behavioral therapy and psychotherapy (Barrios, A.A., 1970). It is a method that uses a person's natural ability to enter a hypnotic state, is safe and has no harmful side effects.
It is important to remember that in any hypnotherapeutic application you are the regulating factor. Change is always made through your own personal effort.
Myths around hypnotherapy
There are several myths and misconceptions surrounding hypnosis. The most common are the following:
>I will not be in control of myself.
Hypnotherapy does not make you lose control. During hypnotherapy, you remain in controlIt is not possible for anyone to force you to do anything against your will, even under hypnosis. You will be focused on your inner experience and so you may not be aware of your surroundings, but you will always be responsible for your own actions, behaviors and statements. In other words, no one can force you to violate your personal values or personal standards of behavior.
>I won't remember what happened in the session.
Realistically one cannot be hypnotized against one's will and even when hypnotized, a person can reject any suggestion. Hypnotherapy is a state of intentional cooperation. It is important to remember that you can stop the hypnotherapy process at any time. By your own choice you enter a state of hypnosis and at any time you can choose to exit it.
Hypnotherapy does not make you forget what happened. You will be focused on your inner experience and will not pay attention to the stimuli of your environment which means that you may not remember that a motorbike went by and made a noise for example, but you will remember everything you think and hear from your hypnotherapist during the session. The hypnotherapy session session is recorded anyway and sent to you. You will not fall asleep unless you want to and you will be able to break your hypnotic state at any time.
>I will not be able to be hypnotized.
While some people believe they cannot be hypnotized, research shows that 90% of people can be hypnotized (Lush P, Moga G, McLatchie N, Dienes Z., 2018). Finally, being hypnotized does not mean you are less intelligent.
