What is Hypnosis? |
Hypnosis
is a state of relaxation and concentration at
one with a state of heightened awareness induced
by suggestion. It is a non-addictive power for
the good and is a natural manifestation of the
mind at work. The word hypnosis is derived from
the Greek word 'hypnos' meaning 'to sleep', but
is actually far from being asleep. By the time
the early users of hypnosis realised this and
tried to change the name it had already stuck.
Are there any people that can't be hypnotised?
No. Except persons with learning difficulties,
although of course the degree varies from person
to person. The only other exceptions would be
persons 'high' on the effects of alcohol or drugs.
Are any
drugs or tablets used?
No.
Will I
remember what has happened?
Yes. Most people are surprised to find that they
remember all that happens during the therapy,
it is a state of heightened, not diminished awareness.
So I'm
not asleep then?
No. Simply very relaxed.
Are there
any causes for concern?
None whatsoever. Hypnosis is a proven therapeutic
aid. The only time hypnosis could prove dangerous
is whilst driving or using machinery. You should
not listen to a hypnotic tape under those circumstances.
Can I speak
whilst in hypnosis?
Yes and in hypnoanalysis you will be encouraged
to do so.
How many visits
will I need?
Simple problems, such as smoking, nail biting,
slimming, pre-test nerves etc usually require
a single session and the success rate is surprisingly
high. The more deep-rooted nervous disorders require
'analytical' rather than 'suggestion' therapy
which usually consists of 6 - 12 weekly
sessions.
Can I be
influenced to do anything against my will?
No, and in fact you would be shocked out of the
hypnotic state should such a thing happen. All
IAH therapists undergo strict background checks
and adhere to code of ethics so this needn't be
a worry.
Can 'normal'
people be hypno-analysed?
Not only can be but should be - for an insight
into yourself it has no equal.
