Definition

Hypnotherapy is a combination of hypnosis and therapeutic intervention . The therapist leads the patient to positive change while the patient is deeply relaxed in a state of heightened suggestibility called trance.

Hypnosis can be a highly effective form of treatment for many mental, psychosomatic, and physical disorders. Hypnosis is a trance state in which the hypnotized person is in a heightened, more receptive state of mind. During hypnosis, the patient is not unconscious, does not lose control of his or her faculties, and does not do things under hypnosis that he or she would be unwilling to do otherwise.

Purpose

Hypnosis, when using proven therapeutic procedures, can be a highly effective form of treatment for many mental, psychosomatic, and physical disorders. For example, through the use of regressive techniques, an adult patient may mentally voyage back to a point in youth that was particularly troublesome, allowing the healing of old emotional wounds. Another patient can be led to understand that emotional pain has been converted to physical pain, and that the pain can be eliminated once the source has been addressed. Or, a person suffering from chronic pain can be taught to control the pain without use of medications. There are a number of techniques for correcting dysfunctional behaviors such as self-destructive habits, anxiety disorders, and even managing side effects of various medical treatments and procedures.

Hypnotherapy has been used to stop self-destructive and addictive habits like smoking. It has also been used to curb the urge to eat for overeaters, to stem the disruptive actions of tics, cure insomnia , stop bed-wetting, and minimize anxiety. Excessive stress can be generated from any number of sources and can be the springboard for anxiety. Some of the more prominent sources of anxiety and stress for which people seek hypnotherapy are: public speaking, test taking, and job stress. Hypnotherapy also works well for other anxiety disorders such as phobias and has proven to be an effective treatment for mild to moderate depression. In one study, hypnotherapy was used in conjunction with traditional cognitive therapy, to assist persons who had severe aversion to needles. The treatment was necessary, because it was essential that each participant receive periodic medical injections. However, the participants would have become non-compliant without the adjunct intervention of hypnotherapy. In another case, involving care for terminally ill cancer patients, it was concluded that hypnotherapy was more effective at enhancing quality of life and relieving anxiety and depressive symptoms, when compared to others who received traditional care.

Precautions

Confusion can occur when one seeks a hypnotherapist, as a result of the various titles, certifications, and licenses in the field. Many states do not regulate the title “hypnotist” or “hypnotherapist,” so care must be exercised when selecting someone to see. As a rule, it is best to consult a professional in the field of mental health or medicine, although alternative sources for hypnosis are available. Care must be taken also by the therapist to ensure adequate training and sufficient experience for rendering this specialized service. The therapist must be well grounded in a psychotherapeutic approach before undertaking the use of hypnotherapy. Professionals should not attempt hypnotherapy with any disorder for which they would not use traditional therapeutic approaches. The patient seeking hypnotherapy is reminded that unskilled or amateur hypnotists can cause harm and should not be consulted for the purpose of implementing positive change in an individual’s life. The detrimental effects of being subjected to amateur or inadequately trained persons can be severe and long lasting. (See abnormal results below.)

Description

In order to understand hypnotherapy, it is necessary to understand the underlying concepts of hypnosis.

History of hypnosis

It appears that hypnosis, under other names, has been used since the beginning of time. In fact, it has been insinuated that the earliest description of hypnosis may be portrayed in the Old Testament and in the Talmud. There is also evidence of hypnosis in ancient Egypt, some 3,000 years ago. However, the man credited with the development of what has become modern hypnosis is Friedrich Anton Mesmer, an Austrian physician. One day, Mesmer watched a magician on a street in Paris demonstrate that he could have spectators do his bidding by touching them with magnets. Fascinated by the demonstration, Mesmer believed the magnets had power of their own and from this belief developed his theory of “animal magnetism.” He also believed that good health depended on having correct magnetic flow and that the direction of one’s magnetic flow could be reversed easily. He further believed that he could direct this magnetic flow into inanimate objects, that could then be used for the good health of others. The term “mesmerism” came to be applied to his mystical workings. He experienced much success in helping the people of Paris as well as visitors who came from other countries, upon hearing of his powers. Later he was completely discredited by a special commission of the French Academy appointed by the King of France, causing him to leave the country. Two of the more famous members of the French Academy at the time were chairman of the commission Benjamin Franklin, American ambassador to France, and Dr. Guillotine, the inventor of the execution device.

Later, around 1840, a patient in the office of Scottish physician James Braid, accidentally entered a state of trance while waiting for an eye examination. Braid, aware of the disfavor of mesmerism and animal magnetism coined the term “hypnosis,” and thus began the serious study of this altered state of awareness.

What is hypnosis?

It is far easier to describe what hypnosis is not rather than to describe what it is. For example, it is not one person controlling the mind of another. The patient is not unconscious and does not lose control of his or her faculties. People will not do things under hypnosis that they would be unwilling to do otherwise. The person being hypnotized is always in control. The hypnotized person decides how deep the trance will be, what suggestions will be accepted, and when to awaken. Therefore, a hypnotyized person cannot be forever “lost” if the therapist should fall dead during an induction or while the patient is deep in trance.

Hypnosis is first and foremost a self-accepted journey away from the reality of the moment. Although the trance state is often referred to as if the patient is asleep, nothing could be further from the truth. The patient is fully awake at all times. The hypnotic subject is simply in a heightened, more receptive state of mind. This fact is proven with inductions called open-eye techniques, where the patient keeps his/her eyes open during the hypnotherapy. Full and deep trance is still achievable.

Trance is commonplace. People fall into traces many times without even being aware that it happened. Examples of this are: reaching the destination of a morning commute, but not recalling the passing of familiar landmarks; daydreaming while sitting in a college classroom; or that anxiety-free state achieved just before going to sleep. The difference between these altered states and clinically used hypnotherapy is that a professionally trained person is involved in helping the patient achieve the trance, which can be done in many ways.

A typical hypnotherapy session has the patient seated comfortably with their feet on the floor and palms on their lap. Of course, the patient could choose to lie down if that option is available and if that will meet the patient’s expectation of hypnosis. The therapist can even set the stage for a favorable outcome by asking questions like, “Would you prefer to undergo hypnosis in this chair or on the sofa?” Once patients make the choice, they are in effect agreeing to undergo hypnosis. Depending on the approach used by the therapist, the next events can vary, but generally will involve some form of relaxing the patient. Suggestions will lead the patient to an increasingly relaxed state. The therapist may wish to confirm the depth of trance by performing tests with the patient. For example, the therapist may suggest that when the eyes close that they will become locked and cannot be opened. The therapist then checks for this by having patients try to open their eyes. Following a successful trial showing the patient’s inability to open the eyes, the therapist might then further relax them by using deepening techniques. Deepening techniques will vary for each patient and depend largely on whether the patient represents information through auditory, visual, or kinesthetic means. If the patient is more affected by auditory suggestions, the therapist would use comments such as “You hear the gentle patter of rain on the roof;” or, “The sound of the ocean waves allow you to relax more and more.” For the visual person, the therapist might use statements such as, “You see the beautiful placid lake, with trees bending slightly with the breeze.” Finally, with the kinesthetic person phrases such as, “You feel the warm sun and gentle breeze on your skin,” could be used. It is important for the therapist to know if the patient has difficulty with the idea of floating or descending because these are sometimes used to enhance the experience for the patient. However, if the patient has a fear of heights or develops a feeling of oppression with the thought of traveling downward and going deeper and deeper, suggestions implying the unwanted or feared phenomenon will not be taken and can thwart the attempt.

Modern techniques

In order for a hypnotherapist to convey positive suggestions for change, the patient must be in a receptive state. The state is called trance and the method of achieving a trance is through induction. Induction techniques are many and varied and involve the therapist offering suggestions that the patient follows. The formerly common “your eyes are getting heavy” suggestion may still exist, but other more reliable and acceptable (by the patient) forms of induction have come to the forefront. The artful hypnotherapist is always aware of the present condition of the patient and uses this information to lead him/her down the path of induction. In its lighter stages, trance can be noted by the relaxation of muscles. At this point, hands can levitate when given the suggestion, and paresthesia, a feeling of numbness, can be induced. In a medium trance, a patient can be led to experience partial or complete amnesia , or failure to recall events of the induction after the fact. A deep trance opens the patient to powerful auditory, visual, or kinesthetic experiences. The phenomenon of time distortion is experienced most profoundly at this level. Patients may believe they have been away briefly, and may react with disbelief when told they were away much longer. Although some work can be done in lighter states of trance, the best circumstance for implementing change is when the patient reaches a deep trance state. At this level, the patient is focused inwardly and is more receptive to positive suggestions for change. This is also the point at which the therapist can invoke posthypnotic suggestions, or instructions given to the patient so he/she will perform some act or experience some particular sensation following awakening from the trance. For example, these suggestions, if accepted by the patient, can be formed to make foods taste bad, cigarettes taste bad, delay impulses, curb hunger, or eliminate pain. However, it should be noted that posthypnotic suggestions given to a person, which run counter to the person’s value system or are not something they are likely to do under ordinary circumstances, will not be accepted and therefore not implemented.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is the name given to a series of models and techniques used to enhance the therapist’s ability to do hypnotherapy. NLP consists of a number of models, with a series of techniques based on those models. Sensory acuity and physiology is one model whose premise is that a person’s thought processes change their physiological state. People recognize such a physiological change when startled. The body receives a great dose of adrenaline, the heart beats faster, the scare may be verbalized by shouting, and the startled person may sweat. Sensory acuity, (i.e., being attuned to changes occurring in another person) will strengthen communication to a person in ways over and above simple verbal cues, therefore making the therapist more effective. A second model of NLP deals with representational systems. The idea behind this model is that different people represent knowledge in different sensory styles. In other words, an individual’s language reveals that person’s mode of representation. There are three basic modes of representation. These are: Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic. The same information will be expressed differently by each. For example, the auditory person might say, “That sounds good to me;” the visual person might convey, “I see it the same way;” and the kinesthetic person would offer, “I’m comfortable with it too.”

Preparation

Before people subject themselves to hypnotherapy they are advised to learn as much about the process and about the chosen therapist as is necessary to feel comfortable. Rapport and trust are two key ingredients in making a potential hypnotherapy patient comfortable. Therapists should be open and willing to answer all questions regarding qualifications, expertise, and methods used. A well-qualified professional will not undertake the use of hypnosis without interviewing the patient to ascertain their level of understanding of the process. This is very important for two reasons. First, it allows the patient the opportunity to have questions answered and to develop some rapport with the therapist. Second, it is important for the therapist to know the patient’s expectations since meeting these expectations will enhance the likelihood of success.

Aftercare

Depending on the purpose of the hypnotherapy (i.e., smoking cessation, weight loss, improvement in public speaking, or addressing some deep emotional turmoil), follow-up may be advisable. When trying to eradicate unwanted habits, it is good practice to revisit the therapist, based upon a date prearranged between the therapist and the patient, to report progress and, if necessary, to obtain secondary hypnotherapy to reinforce progress made.

Risks

One obvious risk to patients is the insufficiently trained therapist. The inadequately trained therapist can cause harm and distort the normally pleasant experience of hypnotherapy. A second risk for patients is the unscrupulous practitioner who may be both inadequately trained and may have some hidden agenda. These rare individuals are capable of causing great harm to the patient and to the profession. As mentioned above, the patient should carefully scrutinize their chosen therapist before submitting themselves to this dynamic form of therapy.

Normal results

The result of hypnotherapy is overwhelmingly positive and effective. Countless success stories exist attesting to the benefits of this technique. Many people have stopped smoking, lost weight, managed pain, remembered forgotten information, stopped other addictions, or improved their health and well-being through its use.

Abnormal results

Abnormal results can occur in instances where amateurs, who know the fundamentals of hypnosis, entice friends to become their experimental subjects. Their lack of full understanding can lead to immediate consequences, which can linger for some time after the event. If, for example, the amateur plants the suggestion that the subject is being bitten by mosquitoes, the subject would naturally scratch where the bites were perceived. When awakened from the trance, if the amateur forgets to remove the suggestion, the subject will continue the behavior. Left unchecked, the behavior could land the subject in a physician’s office in an attempt to stop the itching and scratching cycle. If the physician is astute enough to question the genesis of the behavior and hypnosis is used to remove the suggestion, the subject may experience long-term negative emotional distress and anger upon understanding exactly what happened. The lack of full understanding, complete training, and supervised experience on the part of the amateur places the subject at risk.

Viewpoints exposed by Entrepreneur aspects are their own.As company owner, we think of being our own manager, breaking away from company restrictions and pursuing our enthusiasm as a business venture. We work long hours, generally compromising family time and other dedications to do what we feel remains in our blood. Being an entrepreneur isn’t for everybody, but once we begin on that journey, we’re not reversing– no matter how rough the roadway gets.Related: When

SMART Objectives Do Not Work, Here’s What to Do Rather

If being an entrepreneur is your goal, congrats. Now, what? Start making a note of your goals. Having a target, or turning points, to reach wind up being important in your capability to attain more. In reality, 21 percent of goal-setting, high-achieving companies took a look at in one study were more efficient than their equivalents, according to Workboard. From the very same source: 69 percent of company surveyed stated that interaction organisation goals are the most efficient technique to construct a high-performance team.However, when

you remain in service on your own, there’s no one to hold you accountable or keep you on track. You are now that individual; because of that, you need to be disciplined enough to follow through in every aspect. Goals are an approach to measure your level of success– they provide you focus, instructions and a sense of function while offering you a concrete criteria to find out if you’re in reality succeeding.How do any of us specify

success? It’s a relative term. For a few people, it’s about how much money they can make. For others, it has to do with how they’re moving the needle forward, the number of sales leads they have or the variety of media interviews they can get. For me, it all starts with the conditions I have really set for accomplishing my own definition of”fulfillment “: the capability to earn money, grow skillfully and enjoy doing it.Entrepreneurs typically set expectations exceptionally high and the goals they set are established to match those lofty expectations. But how do we company owner understand if the objectives we’re setting for ourselves are reasonable and even attainable?The response is, understand the 5 principles of goal-setting.1. Set objectives that encourage you When you set a goal, it has to indicate something, and there needs to be a worth to accomplishing it. If the outcome is of little to no importance to you, then the possibilities of your putting in the work are next to none. In fact, 93 percent of people can’t equate goals into actions if the goals are irrelevant to them.So, begin with the objectives that are greatest on your top priority list. It’s simple to be overwhelmed by whatever that needs to be done, so begin simple. We live in a”snack-sized”world, implying

that we are able to absorb information put simply bites and close down when we receive too much.Break down your goals into your top 3, or top 5, total goals, the ones with the greatest sense of seriousness. If it assists, take down why they are very important to you. I sometimes compose these objectives down because, a)the list winds up being

a tangible recommendation of what requires to be done; and b )I require the visual assistance to help me focus. As every entrepreneur understands, we have a lot of things on our minds , so there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a little help.Related: Why SMART Goals Suck 2. Set SMART goals.You might have heard of these already, however it’s constantly beneficial to have a refresher. If you have not heard about this acronym, here’s what it means: Specific Quantifiable Achievable Pertinent Time bound Specific. Your objectives need to be as particular as possible,

due to the truth that otherwise they will not supply

you appropriate instructions to follow through. According to a term paper from the American Psychological Association, setting specific goals led to a greater performance 90 percent of the time for company studied. Goals resemble a lamp lighting the method– the

brighter

the light, the clearer the road ahead.I asked a number of service partners about how they set objectives and got an action from Jason Forrest, CEO of Forrest Effectiveness Group who notified me,”If you don’t have actually plainly specified goals, you put things off. Think about the results you want to obtain– what activities do you require to do for the outcomes?”Quantifiable. Offer yourself reasonable due dates to complete the job at hand. Adding particular dates,

amounts, and so on, makes your progress measurable. For instance, rather of stating”Lower expenses,”say something like,”Lower costs by 10 percent in the next 12 months.”That provides you a repaired amount, a time frame to finish your objective and picture a surface line.Attainable. Be genuine with yourself. As Chowly co-founder Justin McNally notified me,”‘Increase marketing budget by half in 3 months ‘seem like an exceptional objective, but not a very practical one. If you’re a one-man shop or do not have the resources to do that, you’ll simply wind up dissatisfied.”Instead, he said, “Set useful and workable objectives. Decide what you want to achieve in a day and stop when you’re done.”Appropriate. Align your objectives with the

instructions you want your life and career to take. Balancing the positioning in between lasting and short-term will provide you the focus you’ll need.Time-bound. Having a goal will imply you’ll get to commemorate when you accomplish your goal. Having actually set due dates provides you a sense of urgency that is lacking when objectives are open ended.3. Document your goals.I start every day documenting a list of”to-dos,” together with print out a calendar with my conferences for the day. I keep these everyday goals

noticeable at all times and cross take a look at the important things I have actually attained to assess where I stand at the end of the day. This is a finest practice for me, given that it makes things concrete and me accountable.Your own long-lasting goals do

n’t require to be specified rather as publicly, however you need to keep them someplace where, occasionally, you are advised of where you wish to go. Use an active voice when composing them down; for instance, state,”I will increase my marketing budget strategy.”Using more passive language such as “I would like … “offers you a reason to get sidetracked.) 4. Put a technique in action.It’s simple to get so focused on the outcome that you forget the actions required to achieve the outcome. You might go from A through Z, offering little thought to B, C, D and whatever in between. So, write down all of the private actions. This is your strategy to performing your strategy as flawlessly as possible. Harry Mills, CEO of The Aha! Advantage and author of No Resistance stated it to me finest: “Effective entrepreneur map out their objectives to achieve them. Business owners that develop a map to reach an achievement or get rid of indecision are required to do something about it. “Along the way, try to find the recommendations of your peers– a previous organisation partner, a relied on specialist or coach. They may have insights you have actually ignored.5. Work the plan.Having a strategy in location makes you authorities. Working the technique makes you effective. If you make the effort to prepare an exceptional technique, why not utilize it? It’s tempting to keep altering your mind or to draw new methods when things go awry, but variables are

n’t a reason not to stick to the method. Trust your instincts.Related: How to Achieve Your No. 1 Objectivein Merely 100 Days One essential piece of assistance I have really offered is: Look long-term, nevertheless live short-term. It’s really simple to think about the crucial things you desire and the cash you can make, nevertheless those do not wind up being possible without the here and now.Don’ t get ahead of yourself. Trust your technique, work the strategy, be versatile when handling variables and you’ll arrive. It’s called hard work because
