What is hypnosis?
It is a state of relaxation and focused attention, during which positive suggestions can easily achieve the client's desired goals. It is a natural safe daydream state. One of the safest therapies available.
Can I be made to do things against my will?
NO, you cannot be made to do anything against your own code of right and wrong. In hypnosis your mind is actually more alert to protect you than in your normal state of awareness. You will only take on the suggestions that you want.
Will I remain aware of what is happening during hypnosis?
Yes, most people remain aware throughout the session, if however you drift off to sleep the suggestions work just as well.
Is it safe?
The state of hypnosis is a totally natural state of mind and in itself can do you no harm whatsoever.
Will I be under the therapist's power?
No. Hypnotherapy is a co-operation between yourself and the therapist. It only works if you follow the instructions of the therapist, but you are free to reject any suggestions made to you while in the state of hypnosis. Your therapist is a guide, not a controller.
Is it like stage hypnotism?
Clinical hypnotherapy is nothing to do with stage hypnotism. Stage hypnosis is just entertainment and both the person and the hypnotist are out to perform. In clinical hypnotherapy, hypnosis is used to make suggestions more acceptable to break destructive habits. It also makes psychotherapy and psychoanalysis get to the cause of a problem and remove its effects much faster than if hypnosis was not used. It is a state of relaxation and focused attention during which positive suggestions can easily achieve the client's desired goals. It is a natural safe daydream state and one of the safest therapies available.
