HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness to the normal 'alert' state and you can easily enter it so that, for therapeutic purposes, beneficial instructions may be given directly to your receptive subconscious mind. In hypnosis the tendency is for these suggestions to be accepted far less critically than in the normal state. A skilled Hypnotherapist may 'seed' constructive ideas which then change behaviour and attitudes at their source.
Thus, hypnosis is an effective way of making contact with our inner (subconscious) self, which is both a reservoir of unrecognised potential and knowledge, as well as being the unwitting source of many of our habits and problems.
MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT HYPNOSIS
Some people worry that once hypnotised they may be taken advantage of by a person who is less than scrupulous. However, it's a fact that no one can be hypnotised against their will and even when hypnotised, a person can still reject any inappropriate suggestions offered to them. A person can also return to normal consciousness at will. Hypnotherapy is actually a state of purposeful co-operation between the therapist and the patient, aimed at obtaining a specific result, agreed upon before trance...
Similarly, a common fear is that under hypnosis a person could be made to reveal personal details that they would rather keep secret. In therapy, your will, remains intact and your subconscious mind will only give information it deems necessary to the therapeutic outcome. The image portrayed by stage hypnosis and the media conjures up the wrong image of hypnosis; this image is for entertainment only. Hypnotherapy is used only to promote the well-being of the individual, agreed upon before eye closure is achieved. The truth is that you remain completely aware and conscious throughout, albeit on a different level. However, a skilled therapist will keep you at the balancing point between trance and full conscious awakening, allowing beneficial suggestions to be given to your subconscious mind...
