Hypnotic or suggestive therapy is one of the oldest of all therapeutic techniques.
In 1995 the British Medical association endorsed the
practice of hypnosis in medical school Education. Since
then it has become a valuable addition to conventional
medical treatment.
The actual experience of being under hypnosis is difficult
to describe neither being asleep nor awake. All hypnotic
states are characterised by tremendously pleasant state
of deep relaxation, an altered state of consciousness
which individuals allow themselves to enter so that
desired beneficial suggestions may be given directly
to the part of the mind known as the subconscious.
Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness. It is a natural state of mind
where you are mostly relaxed, while your mind is awake and aware, but you
are more open to accepting new thoughts and suggestions. Hypnosis is a
naturally occurring phenomenon that many people experience frequently.
Common examples of everyday trances include:
Allowing ones mind to become absorbed in thought while driving
Feeling so engaged in an activity or conversation that the passing
of time goes unnoticed
Daydreaming and fantasizing
In clinical hypnosis, one simply learns how to enter a trance deliberately
in order to work on their challenges. In this state, the mind and body
are more open and receptive. This can be a helpful tool as you pursue
your treatment goals.
