Hypnotherapy - What is it?
|
Some people
are surprised to
learn that hypnosis is a natural state with which we are all
familiar. If you can remember how it feels when you daydream,
then you’ll have some idea of what it’s like to enter
hypnosis. If you’ve ever been so engrossed in a book you
were reading that you didn’t even notice somebody else had
entered the room, well that’s it too.
Consider
then, that these situations involve a state of concentration
and focus which is so deep that it is, for that moment, total.
Concentration and focus (involvement) is, for that
moment, to the exclusion of all else. But note, also, that
control is always retained. You could “snap out of it” at
any moment you chose. Hypnosis is exactly the same. It is this state which is so valuable as a therapeutic tool since it provides an unequalled focus of mind which can be used to communicate new ideas, perspectives, and understanding to a person at a deeper level than is possible under ordinary conditions......to the emotional body and the subconscious mind. Hypnosis, used alone, is not strictly speaking a therapy although the resulting relaxation is always a lovely experience. It is when hypnosis is used in conjunction with psychotherapeutic techniques that we discover its true beauty. This is hypno-therapy. A properly trained hypnotherapist can help just about anyone to enter the state of hypnosis quite easily. When a person is in a hypnotised state, they will usually experience decreased inhibitions, increased relaxation, improved memory recall, and much greater concentration and focus. It’s worth mentioning as well, that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The therapist acts only as a facilitator. The resulting state is 100% self- created, self-controlled, completely natural, safe and very pleasant indeed. For more details about how hypnotherapy works click here.
