HOW LONG HAS HYPNOSIS BEEN AROUND?  

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years in many societies - the Americas, Africa, Europe, Asia, Scandinavia, the East. 

Famous medico-scientists have practised Hypnotherapy.  These include Anton Mesmer, Jean Charcot, Ivan Pavlov, Sigmund Freud, Milton Erickson and (Australia’s) Sydney Van Pelt

 Nowadays, Clinical Hypnotherapy is a profession in its own right.  And health professionals are increasingly becoming aware of the efficacy of using therapy while the subject is in the Hypnotic state.

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?.

 Hypnosis is a state we enter every day - when we daydream, when we forget much of the drive from home to the shops, when we “go to sleep” in the train and “wake up” just before our station, and when mum kisses better 5 year-old Jason’s sore wrist. 

 In Hypnosis our brains become active in a unique way.  This has been shown by scanning brains of subjects in Hypnosis, using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). 

 Medical scientists now know that the more important areas “activated” are known to highly influence our attention, focus, emotions, motivation, ability to reduce pain (both physical and emotional), planning, willpower, “inner-monitoring”, reality. 

 Hypnosis almost always permits us to  experience a state of pleasant and deep relaxation, such that stress, anxiety and problems become far less important, or even irrelevant.  The “feel good” aspects may be caused by production of Dopamine which research has shown to increase in Hypnosis.

SO WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY? 

 It is simply Therapy which is undertaken in the Hypnotic state. 

 Hypnotherapy works and is so successful because those parts of our brain, detailed in  

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS become active in the Hypnotic state and those skills, capabilities, resources and awareness we all have within us become available and may allow for our desired change, whether it is to overcome or remove a problem, or to do things better. 

 In Hypnosis we become more relaxed and focussed, more motivated, more in control, more able to “tune in” to our own thoughts, more likely to be aware of causes of our unwanted behaviours, more able to deal with pain and other unwanted things.  And we may accept (or reject) suggestions.

WHAT ABOUT THE MYTHS SURROUNDING HYPNOSIS?

MYTH 1   You are in the control of the Hypnotist.   

MYTH 2   You won’t remember anything.    

MYTH 3   You will not be conscious and not have your own 

             thoughts.

MYTH 4   You will be made to 'cluck like a chicken'!! 

These are all fairy tales!!  You would not say or do anything you don't want to when you are in hypnosis. I will explain why and dispel any of your fears.
