Hypnosis
Hypnosis is very different than televised spoofs where people bark like a dog, quack like a duck, etc. These instances exemplify comedic exaggerations of a useful therapeutic process and phenomenon and are not realistic when applied to a treatment setting.
The hypnotic state is a relaxed state where the subconscious mind can directly receive suggestions without having to combat the barrier of the critical mind (thinking part of the brain). Subsequently, results can be achieved without having to go through the thinking, talking and analysis that behavior change often entails. Usually, a client presenting for hypnosis has an identified outcome for what they would like to attain as a result of this intervention. Some common examples of challenges that hypnosis addresses are:
- addictions (food, cigarettes, alcohol)
- self-confidence
- weight loss
- motivation and public speaking
Hypnosis is a completely conscious process. There is nothing that is suggested (said) that the client hasn’t already identified that they want.
