Frequently

What is hypnosis? During therapeutic hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state, while the subconscious mind remains alert and receptive to beneficial suggestion. Hypnosis is an education-communication process to the mind that allows the conscious and subconscious minds to believe the same message.

How does the subconscious accept hypnotic suggestions? Hypnotic suggestions bypass the intellectual mind, called the "conscious," and zero in on the subconscious. When given a new suggestion that is within the bounds of a person's belief system and moral orientation, the subconscious accepts it literally as a new and improved reality.

How does hypnosis help people? The ability to reprogram emotional attitudes and reactions is a natural ability within every human. Hypnosis is the most efficient and reasonable way to train life-long attitudes, rather than suffer a lifetime of emotional accidents the conscious mind is unable to change.

Can any person be hypnotized? Unless there is some form of organic brain damage, ANYONE can be hypnotized if they are willing and do not resist. The depth of hypnosis varies with a person's ability to respond. If you are not naturally responsive, you can improve your receptivity with practice.

Is hypnosis medically approved? Yes. The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have approved hypnotherapy for use by professionally responsible individuals. The British Medical Association also adopted hypnosis as a viable therapeutic tool in 1958. (The same year as the AMA.)

Is hypnosis dangerous? No. Hypnosis is never dangerous to the client, although personal disappointments may arise due to unrealistic expectations or preconceived ideas of what it is or how it feels to be hypnotized.

Are the results of hypnosis permanent? Suggestions stay with some individuals indefinitely, others need reinforcement. The effects of hypnosis are cumulative: The more the techniques are practiced and post-hypnotic suggestions are used, the more permanent the results become. Self-hypnosis training and reinforcement tapes for home use also provide additional help when necessary.

How powerful is a hypnotist? Hypnosis is a consent situation in which 10 percent of the effort is the hypnotist's through knowledge of proper formulation of suggestion and the remaining 90 percent is the responsibility of the client through allowing themselves to accept beneficial suggestions presented and desiring improvement.
