You don’t “fall under anyone’s influence” during hypnosis like the movies. Let’s be real. Hypnosis is a therapeutic treatment method that makes you focused, relaxed, and more able to accept positive suggestions. You may feel detached from your surroundings during sessions… but that is temporary.
The use of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool, known as hypnotherapy, may help individuals overcome a variety of issues such as anxiety, phobias, and addiction. Clinical and experimental hypnosis can also help manage physical symptoms such as chronic pain and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
You can become more mindful and aware. You can also grow as a person and know more about yourself. You can go into hypnosis by relaxing your body and mind. Once that happens, you become more open and receptive to your hypnotherapist’s suggestions.
The Science of Hypnosis
Recent researches in brain imaging technology have studied the brain during hypnosis.
One important finding from these studies is that hypnosis activates different parts of the brain… different from the parts that activate when you are awake.
For example, the part of the brain responsible for self-reflection and introspection is more active during hypnosis. The critical thinking and decision-making part is less active.
This change in brain activity can be responsible for the increased suggestibility during hypnosis. When you don’t think critically, you become more open to new ideas and suggestions.
How Does Hypnosis Work?
Hypnotherapy helps you look into your subconscious mind and reprogramme it to remove thought blocks at a deeper level. As you get into a state of altered consciousness, you become highly suggestible and open to new ideas and suggestions.
Your hypnotherapist can guide you to change their thought patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that may be hindering your progress. By accessing the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can create long-lasting changes that can positively impact a person’s life.
Self-hypnosis is one way to achieve a hypnotic state without the help of a trained professional. It involves learning to guide oneself into a state of relaxation and heightened suggestibility, often through the use of guided meditations or recorded audio sessions. While self-hypnosis can be effective for some individuals, clinical hypnosis by a trained professional can be more effective, as it can be tailored to the individual’s specific needs.
