Hypnotherapy demystified

Unlike stage hypnosis, clinical hypnosis is used in a theraputic way. It is used to help you find your own solutions to your own problems and not to make you cluck like a chicken.

Hypnosis isn’t the least bit mysterious or supernatural. You have been in a hypnotic state yourself literally thousands of times. This may be when you are day dreaming or may have happened when driving. If you have ever been driving along a familiar route, you may have switched off our mind and suddenly wonder how you arrived at that point in the journey or you may have gone past the turning to your road. This is because your subconscious mind has taken over.

Brief history of Hypnotherapy

Every culture through history has used hypnosis in one form or another and it has associations with shamans and whitch doctors and healers. It was first used in medicine in the 1700 by Dr Franz Mesmer and later used to relieve pain in operations in the mid 1800s and also used by Freud in the early 1900s. It received serious study and gained acceptance in the 1950s.

Hypnotherapy is now recognised as a highly effective tool for modifying behaviour and for healing. Studies show that it is the most effective method to help people stop smoking.

So what is it like?

If you have ever meditated or taken part in a relaxation at the end of a yoga session you will find that being hypnotised is very similar.

It is nothing to be afraid of, you will be aware of what is going on and you do not lose control. You can choose to go into hypnosis and you can come out of it at any time if you want to, although it is better to be guided by the therapist.

The therapist is there to guide you into deep relaxation or trance to enable your subconscious mind to work to find your own solutions to your own problems. This experience will be different for everyone.
