What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural occurrence that happens to everyone many times daily. Natural hypnosis occurs when focused mental concentration takes place. Hypnosis is a “tool” that a hypnotherapist uses to bypass the analysing part of a person’s mind.

All Hypnosis Is Self-Hypnosis

The first thing a person needs to know about hypnosis is that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You will only go into hypnosis if you allow yourself to do so. You cannot be forced to do anything you do not want to do.

What Is The Process Of Self-Hypnosis?

Hypnotic induction.
Self-visualisation and deepening process.
Hypnotherapy techniques.
Exit hypnosis.

Types Of Hypnotic Induction

There are many different types of hypnotic inductions that a person can use:

Progressive relaxation induction.
Rapid induction.
Shock induction.
Confusion induction.

Deepening Techniques

Once the hypnotic induction phase has been completed, a person uses their imagination to visualise themselves in their mind in a relaxing environment. They bring into play as much of their sensory awareness as possible, what they can see, feel, hear and smell, which enhances the experience. For example, simply imagining themselves slowly walking down an imaginary flight of stairs in their mind helps the person to compound the mental and physical relaxation.

Therapy

As individuals practise self-hypnosis, they imagine themselves at the bottom of the imaginary stairs or steps. They can then picture themselves walking through a fictional set of doors leading into an imaginary room where the therapy will occur. Many different hypnotic techniques can be utilised to create the desired outcome.

Exiting Self-Hypnosis

To exit self-hypnosis, all the individual has to imagine themselves leaving their safe room, visualising themselves walking back up to the top of their imaginary stairs, where they then open their eyes.

What Can Self-Hypnosis Be Used For?

Many people use self-hypnosis to enhance their psychological wellness and self-development, to stop smoking, or to lose weight. Self-hypnosis can also be used for emotional, psychological, and physical problems.
