How Does Hypnosis Work?
When individuals are in a relaxed, hypnotic state, they are more open to beneficial suggestions than otherwise. When an individual has an issue that is not improved by traditional therapy, hypnosis therapy may be a great way to improve their healing process. Suggestions that were ignored or held as skeptical in traditional therapy may be embraced with hypnosis therapy.
During hypnosis, constructive and optimistic notions are given to the subject – known as “post-hypnotic suggestions", with the intent that they take effect after the subject comes out of the hypnotic state. Since the individual is in a relaxed, focused, trance-like state, anything said to them during this time will be their chief focus so that they will go quickly and directly into their mind. This direct path into their consciousness will give those notions a place to grow and prosper.
Contrary to what many people think, hypnosis will not make individuals do things they wouldn't do if not hypnotized. Individuals are totally in control of their actions during this time. To be hypnotized, an individual needs to be "hypnotizable". This means that they are receptive to being hypnotized. Also, it is important to determine what goal they have if hypnosis is successful.
Some people do not have this trait, and therefore, hypnotism may not be an option for them. Hypnosis therapy can work for those who are open to being hypnotized and are hypnotizable.
There is no guarantee that hypnosis therapy will work, even for the willing individual. It is usually performed over multiple visits to strengthen the suggestions that are given.
