SOME FACTS AND QUESTIONS ANSWERED ABOUT HYPNOTHERAPY
Manipulation - is it possible?There are quite a lot Hollywood movies about the power of hypnotism.... but.... it is Hollywood! I always like to say: "If it really would be possible to manipulate someone as seen in the movies doing things someone wouldn`t want to - my ex boyfriends would come and clean my apartment every few weeks and couldn`t remember afterwards." I would love that! So - NO it is not possible to manipulate someone to do something he or she does not want to do. And I guess - it would be forbidden.
Can everyone be hypnotised?Around 98% of people can be hypnotised very easily as we all enter natural states of relaxation and trance everyday - hypnotism is nothing else but a guided trance.
It is true that some people will be more easily hypnotised than others. This will depend on several factors such as the individuals trust and confidence in the therapist, personal needs, certain environmental factors and personal belief in the ability to be hypnotised.
Even if you would be within the 2%, I will always adapt. I will also be honest if I feel that I can’t hypnotize you at the moment or in case I feel that hypnotherapy isn’t the best root for you.
Will I be aware of what is happening?Yes, you will be aware at all times.
You will be in a relaxed, safe state and in total control at all times. Many clients experiencing hypnotherapy for the first time are surprised at how aware they are, and of exactly what I am saying to them. We will also talk during the process and you will also be aware of what you want to tell me and what should stay private. You will be relaxed and aware like you are aware now - but you will be extremely focused and you got your subconsciousness as a plus.
Will I lose control?No. You do not go out, under or to sleep and you will not lose control. You will be totally in control at all times, and will not do or say anything you would not usually do. You can terminate hypnosis if you decide to do so at any time. You will also completely stick to your morals and cannot be made to do anything against your will or morals.
Will I be aware and remember everything I said and experienced?Yes, you will remember everything you have said at the end of the session.
What exactly is Hypnosis?Hypnosis or trance states are naturally occurring states which we all drift in and out of throughout the day. Daydreaming, sports, your daily way to work, playing computer games, watching TV, painting - these are trance states. You know what is going on around you whilst being completely relaxed and focused. Studies show that we are spending around 90% of our time in such states.
There is not one definitive explanation of what hypnosis is exactly and it’s interesting to note that everybody experiences it in a very different way.
Why is it so effective?Hypnotherapy gets to the bottom of whatever the issue is. Hypnotherapy bypasses the critical conscious mind and makes it possible to connect with your unconsciousness. That is where we are working - to overcome trauma, heal old emotional wounds, get in touch with the inner child, forgive, set new boundaries and open doors for new behaviors, leaving behind inner believes that stop you from doing things or being and believing in yourself.
It changes your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the inside out.
Hypnotherapy tackles the root of the problem – not just the symptoms – and deals with it.
And it does that better than almost any other form of therapy.
