What is Hypnosis Therapy?
Hypnosis therapy, otherwise known as hypnotherapy, is a form of treatment that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and deep concentration to access a state where awareness is heightened. In this state, which is usually referred to as trance, people can explore aspects of their unconscious state, including memories, feelings, and thoughts that they may have withheld in their conscious understanding.
Clinical hypnotherapy is not mind control or entertainment, as many popularly suppose from legendary stage performances and television programs. It is an entirely valid therapy done by licensed practitioners to assist individuals in overcoming a variety of conditions and issues.
How Does Hypnosis Therapy Work?
During a typical hypnotherapy session, the therapist induces the patient into a relaxing, concentrating state in which the patient’s mind turns off, allowing for subconscious access. The state of being placed is superficially similar to being completely immersed in a book or a movie: conscious but in intense concentration.
The therapist can then give suggestions in alignment with the therapeutic goals of the client in this suggestible state. The mind then becomes more accepting of positive suggestions capable of reconditioning thinking and behavior. It should be noted that hypnosis will never allow doing something against one’s wishes; you are always in control.
Reconciling Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy has proved efficacious over several conditions.
- It is helpful in the mind and the body to relax and kick out tension, leading to reducing anxiety and stress drastically.
- Helps in sleep disorders by inducing relaxing sleep.
- Phobias and fears are transformed into productive alternative thought processes.
- Recovery from trauma by working through bad memories in a safe place.
The Hypnosis Experience
A vast majority of people find hypnosis to be profoundly relaxing. You are usually alert to your surroundings and can recall what occurs throughout the session. You cannot be hypnotized if you do not want to be, and an experienced therapist will make you feel secure and comfortable throughout the treatment.
Expectations from Treatment
Hypnotherapy is not usually a single-session treatment; while improvement can be immediate for some patients, many sessions are required for long-term change. The qualified practitioner will explain the method clearly, advise on realistic expectations of results, and build an overall treatment plan.
