Hypnosis
does not involve mind control, unconsciousness or sleep.
-
You
cannot be made to enter hypnosis against your will.
-
Hypnosis
is a natural experience that happens to most of us each day when we
become absorbed in doing something like driving, working, reading or
watching TV.
-
All
your senses are awake and alert while you are in a hypnotic state.
-
You are
in control at all times while in hypnosis.
-
You
only say and do in hypnosis what you would normally say and do in a
fully conscious state.
-
You can
return to full consciousness any time you either want to or feel the
need to.
-
The
subconscious mind makes up about 90% of your total mind power and
contains a “mental movie” of everything that has happened in your
life.
-
As you
enter into hypnosis, you bypass the conscious mind and can then access
information in the subconscious mind.
-
The use
of hypnosis gives you the opportunity to make changes quickly and
permanently.
-
Hypnosis
was approved for use by the British Medical Association in 1955 and by
the American Medical Association in 1958.
-
Hypnotherapy
entails the use of trance and suggestion to adjust habits of thought,
feeling and behavior.
-
Hypnotherapists
use trance and suggestions to help normal people cope with every-day
problems of living, such as issues related to jobs, hobbies and
recreational activities.
-
Hypnotherapy
can also aid in general self-improvement through strategies such as
non-clinical stress management.
-
Hypnotherapists
work in complementary ways with physicians and other health care
providers to help optimize the care patients receive.
-
Hypnotherapeutic
results can be restorative, rehabilitative, curative and, seemingly,
miraculous.
