WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis as a therapy to completely relax the Subject, (Client) both in body and in mind. Whilst the Subject is relaxed, the Hypnotherapist 'Reprograms' the Subject's 'Response' or 'Belief System' to certain stimuli.

Put simply, the Conscious Mind is the Rational Mind. It orders the Subconscious Mind to react in a particular way depending on past experience.

An example would be -

• A person, as a small child was knocked over by a large, black dog and although not hurt, the child was frightened and ran away.
• The child grows up into an adult but still retains a fear, an irrational fear, of big black dogs, and feels threatened, frightened and wants to run away.
• The Conscious Mind has 'decided' that all black dogs are basically 'bad news'. They will knock you over and frighten you.
• The Conscious Mind then files this information away, incorrectly as it happens, with the Subconscious Mind, giving the following instruction -
• All big black dogs are frightening, they will knock you over so upon encountering one, you will want to run away in fear.

The Hypnotherapist relaxes the Conscious Mind through talking in an even, repetitive voice, until the Subject goes from the Fully Conscious State - Beta Brain Wave into Alpha Brain Wave. When the Subject is very deeply relaxed they will enter Theta State, the brain wave where hypnosis is most effective.

The Hypnotherapist closely observes the Subject, watching for changes in eye movement. When the Subject has reached a deep level of relaxation, the 'Power of Hypnotic Suggestion' will begin.

In the above example, Laura would 'Regress' the Subject back to previous times in their life where they had had encounters with big, black dogs, using the Subject's ability of recall. This incidentally is exceptionally good under hypnosis. By being able to 'Replay' these scenarios it helps them, through appropriate hypnotic suggestions by the therapist, to understand that it was the size and exuberance of the dog that was frightening, and that there was really nothing to fear at all.

The result - the Subconscious is 'Talked To' by a different 'Rational Mind' the Hypnotherapist's as opposed to the Subject's Conscious (rational) Mind. The Hypnotherapist reinforces the belief that there really is nothing to fear with big black dogs and the problem is now resolved. The Subject should have no further problems with big black dogs.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

• You cannot hypnotise someone against their will (wrong -the Subject has to want to be hypnotised)
• You can only hypnotise people of low intellect (wrong - it works better on people of a higher intellect!)
• You are not asleep when hypnotised (wrong - you are just very relaxed)
• You can be made to do things you don't want to (wrong - if a hypnotist told you to do something against your fundamental belief system, your Conscious Mind would reject the suggestion)
• I might not wake up (wrong, you can open your eyes, and 'come to' at anytime during a hypnotic session)
• What if I don't like the sensation? (you can awaken at any time)

WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE?

Being very relaxed, like snoozing in bed after waking up or just before going to sleep. You feel dozy but are fully aware of your surroundings, people and noises around you. Funnily enough people comment of feeling rather refreshed after a hypnosis session! Try it and see!
