Myths about Hypnosis

There are many myths about hypnosis. Some people think of hypnosis as being asleep, unaware of surroundings, or controlled by someone else. Hypnosis is actually a relaxed, wakeful state of heightened awareness, done with the intent to promote greater self-control. Individuals must want to be hypnotized, and anyone can resist it at any time, even if he/she has been hypnotized before. People cannot be made to do things against their will or be controlled while hypnotized.

Hypnosis Treatment

The meditative state clears a path through the disorder and jumble of conscious thought and allows the more imaginative subconscious mind to be active. Individuals are more open to new perspectives and can re-associate triggers with positive behaviors. While in this relaxed state, people are more willing to accept the things they want to change as reality, something that amplifies their goal-directed behavior. Individuals can learn to anchor this state of relaxation with some sort of physical cue so they may bring back this relaxed state on their own.

Hypnosis can be used for a variety of issues including:

Anxiety or Specific Phobias

Weight Loss

Chronic Pain Relief

Relief of Tinnitus/Misophonia
