Trusting Hypnosis

While many people know of hypnosis, there are a lot of myths circulating that can cause some people to mistrust or even fear the process. Sometimes, in movies and on TV, hypnosis shows or sessions are portrayed purely as entertainment, illusion, or worse still, unconscious mind control. Patients or participants in hypnosis shows are always aware and in control of their actions, and with trust in the hypnotist and the process, hypnosis can be used as an effective way to make significant changes in one’s life and/or health.

Here’s a look at some of the many ways that you can positively change your life by trusting in the power of hypnosis:

Helps You Overcome Issues

Hypnosis is well-known for helping people overcome personal struggles and difficulties. Most notably, the practice is used by many to overcome common ailments and chronic problems. For example, depression or anxiety sufferers often use the practice for symptom relief and recovery. Hypnosis is also often used for stress reduction, and can effectively help with behavioral problems, phobias and certain mental diseases, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Compulsive or excessive smokers, drinkers, eaters and those with other substance abuse problems also often benefit from hypnosis. Whether you want to make a change, kick a habit or conquer a fear, hypnosis could be the solution you’re looking for!

Teaches Healthy Control

It’s a common misconception that hypnotists control their clients, but this isn’t the case. It’s actually the client who has all the control. Although the hypnotist can guide you, you must first grant them permission. While under hypnosis, you remain self-aware and in charge of your body and actions. This ‘healthy control’ allows you to fully surrender to the process. Furthermore, it’s possible to have more control in the trance state than in the state of normal consciousness.

In a trance, your body becomes more relaxed, but your mind becomes sharper, giving way to more control. Relinquishing this control on your own terms opens the floodgates to vulnerability and trust. Vulnerability and trust are the top things needed to make your hypnosis a success. Just remember to hire a hypnotist who is reputable and experienced. A reputable hypnotist, like myself, will provide you with the service and support you need to fully surrender to the experience and the benefits it offers.

Boosts Confidence and Trust in Yourself

Trust in oneself is an essential piece in the hypnosis puzzle. In other words, hypnosis won’t work if you don’t trust yourself. This trust is taught during the entire process, and with this trust comes self-confidence. Many people report feeling more relaxed and confident after waking from a trance. Such feelings can be attributed to the process itself, because during hypnosis, you must wield greater control to become vulnerable and relinquish that control. Without your trust and permission, this is impossible to achieve. So, the success of the process depends on your confidence and your trust. These are traits that can extend into your daily life, far beyond the hypnosis process.
