The term "hypnosis" comes from the Greek word Hypnos, meaning "sleep." Hypnotherapists use exercises that bring about deep relaxation and an altered state of consciousness, also known as a trance. A person in a deeply focused state is unusually responsive to an idea or image, but this does not mean that a hypnotist can control the person's mind and free will. On the contrary, hypnosis can teach people how to master their states of awareness. By doing so they can affect their bodily functions and psychological responses.
Hypnotherapy is a kind of psychotherapy. Hypnotherapy aims to re-program patterns of behavior within the mind, enabling irrational fears, phobias, negative thoughts, and suppressed emotions to be overcome.
Hypnotherapy works for many people. Therapists and researchers claim success rates for hypnotherapy of greater than 90%. This is for professionally conducted hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a very normal, natural state, it's much more powerful than most people imagine. Hypnotherapy works very quickly. You'll probably begin to feel the positive results during, or immediately after, your first session. By the end of your first treatment, you should be feeling less stressed and more optimistic that you can eventually overcome/learn to cope with your problem.
Types of hypnotherapy :
1. Clinical or Suggestion Hypnotherapy
You are guided into a lovely, calm light hypnotic state, where you are fully in control - but nice and relaxed. You are then given suggestions that will affect your behavior/feelings once you are out of the hypnotic state.
These suggestions, when absorbed by the unconscious mind, can enable a person to find it easier to do something they would like to do, or easier to stop doing something they no longer wish to do.
All suggestions given are always completely positive and worded very carefully to get the very best results.
2. Analytical Hypnotherapy:
Analytical Hypnotherapy is psychotherapy using hypnosis. It is very effective in dealing with the more deep-seated problems that many people have such as anxiety, depression, phobias, fears, eating disorders, and other psychological and emotional problems/symptoms. It works on the rule of life that for every effect there is a cause.
Analytical Hypnotherapy seeks to find the root cause, rather than just removing a symptom of it. Once the root fear is removed, it becomes powerless and therefore disappears bringing about lasting and amazing change.
3. Pure Hypnoanalsis:
Pure hypnoanalysis is a very special type of analytical hypnotherapy and is the single most effective form of therapy available in the world today. It is a highly developed form of analytical hypnotherapy (sometimes called hypno-analysis). Hypnoanalysis Pure Hypnoanalysis allows you to quickly and easily resolve the bottled-up emotions that were causing the symptoms, and the symptoms completely disappear, for good.
How does Hypnosis work?
When something happens to us, we remember it and learn a particular behavior in response to what happened. Each time something similar happens, our physical and emotional reactions attached to the memory are repeated. In some cases these reactions are unhealthy. In some forms of hypnotherapy, a trained therapist guides you to remember the event that led to the first reaction, separates the memory from the learned behavior, and replaces unhealthy behaviors with new, healthier ones.
During hypnosis, your body relaxes and your thoughts become more focused. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnosis lowers blood pressure and heart rate and changes certain types of brain wave activity. In this relaxed state, you will feel at ease physically yet fully awake mentally and may be highly responsive to suggestions. Your conscious mind becomes less alert and your subconscious mind becomes more focused. Some people respond better to hypnotic suggestions than others
Stages of Hypnosis:
• Reframing the problem
• Becoming relaxed then absorbed (deeply engaged in the words or images presented by a Hypnotherapist.
• Dissociating (letting go of critical thoughts)
• Responding (complying with a hypnotherapist's suggestions)
• Returning to usual awareness
• Reflecting on the experiences.
Overview of Hypnosis:
The technique does not involve the patient being put into a deep sleep, and the patient cannot be made to do anything they would not ordinarily do. They remain fully aware of their surroundings and situation and are not vulnerable to every given command of the therapist.
Illnesses or conditions respond well to hypnosis:
Hypnosis is used in a variety of settings -- from emergency rooms to dental offices to outpatient clinics. Clinical studies suggest that hypnosis may improve immune function, increase relaxation, decrease stress, and ease pain and feelings of anxiety.
Hypnotherapy can reduce the fear and anxiety that some people feel before medical or dental procedures. For example, studies show that dental patients who underwent hypnosis had a significantly higher threshold for pain than those who were not hypnotized. Hypnosis may also improve recovery time and reduce anxiety and pain following surgery. Clinical trials on burn patients suggest that hypnosis decreases pain (enough to replace pain medication) and speeds healing. Generally, clinical studies show that using hypnosis may reduce your need for medication, improve your mental and physical condition before an operation, and reduce the time it takes to recover. Dentists also use hypnotherapy to control gagging and bleeding.
Hypnotherapy can also be used to help manage chronic illness. Self-hypnosis can enhance a sense of control, which is often lacking when someone has a chronic illness.
