The most common myth and frequently asked question in Hypnosis is “Will I lose control over myself?”
Most people’s understanding of Hypnosis is stage hypnosis, which is for entertainment purposes. In contrast, clinical/therapeutic hypnosis is well-recognized, legitimate, effective & lasting and can help resolve many issues/addictions.
“We are on auto-pilot or in a state of hypnosis during many daily activities like, driving, watching TV and washing dishes. Hypnosis is actually a heightened state of awareness or focused attention”, says Debbie Papadakis, Master Hypnotist & Trainer, Hypno Healing Institute.
A typical session involves reclining comfortably in a chair, while your body becomes relaxed, your mind is focused. Once the root cause of the issue is uncovered then helpful, positive, action-oriented suggestions/metaphors are conveyed to achieve the therapeutic results desired. Feedback mechanisms are used to test the level of receptivity.
Therapeutic hypnosis is a gentle experience. You are always in control of yourself and can stop the process at any time you choose.
Hypnosis is a communicative process that allows the conscious and subconscious minds to believe in the same positive message. Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind – suspends critical judgment while the subconscious mind remains alert/receptive to suggestion – focused attention.
Archeologists unearth artifacts; similarly Hypnosis is a way of accessing personal artifacts hidden in the subconscious mind, allowing us to find the root cause of most physical and emotional problems. Hypnosis is a way of accessing and releasing problems created by decisions and beliefs formed by past negative experiences and the accompanying emotional distress and/or physical dis-ease.
