Here’s what they’re used for…
Clinical hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, perception, or consciousness used by licensed and trained doctors or master-level practitioners for treating a psychological or physical problem. It is a highly relaxed state.
Hypnosis is a state of inner absorption, concentration, and focused attention. It is like using a magnifying glass to focus the rays of the sun and make them more powerful. Similarly, when our minds are concentrated and focused, we are able to use our minds more powerfully.
Clinical hypnosis is often used interchangeably with the word “hypnotherapy.” Hypnotherapy is the technique of helping a client to enter into the deeply relaxed trance state of clinical hypnosis.
Therapeutic techniques are used with clients while they are in that state to treat trauma, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and other psychological issues.
Why these techniques are particularly effective…
Hypnotherapy allows the therapist and the client to approach issues together at their root level… within the subconscious.
I use hypnotherapy to assist clients in connecting with their “inner child” and “parts of themselves” during the deeply relaxed state to hasten healing, thus enabling clients to live more fulfilling lives.
Clinical Hypnosis can be helpful in treating phobias, fears, anxiety, lack of confidence, speech disorders, chronic pain, self-esteem/ego strengthening, memory/concentration improvement, test anxiety, fear of public speaking, and many other issues.
You might think you know what it’s all about, but…
There are some misconceptions about clinical hypnosis/hypnotherapy. Did you know, for example, that…
You will not become unconscious, and you will be aware of everything at all times.
Your will is not weakened in any way.
You will be in control and cannot be made to do anything against your will.
You will not begin to reveal information you wish to keep secret.
You will actually be awake (hypnosis is not sleep).
One common misconception is that a hypnotized person loses their will and is partially or completely under the command of the hypnotist. Nothing could be further from the truth. This unfortunate belief is reinforced by many stage hypnotists. You are in control of yourself and cannot be made to do anything that is against your will.
Hypnosis, particularly the deeper forms, can appear to be like sleep because the person’s body is typically very still and quiet. There is usually a great deal of mental activity, and measurements of brain activity during hypnosis show a significant level of neurological activity.
