WHAT HYPNOSIS IS AND HOW IT WORKS:

Hypnosis is a state or condition in which the subject becomes highly responsive to suggestions. The Hypnotized individual seems to follow instructions in an uncritical, automatic fashion and attends closely only to those aspects of the environment made relevant by the Hypnotist. If the subject is highly responsive, he or she hears, sees, feels, smells and tastes in accordance with the suggestions given, even if these may be in direct contradiction to the actual stimuli that impinge upon the subject. Furthermore, memory and awareness of the self can be altered by suggestions. All of these may be extended post hypnotically into the individual's subsequent waking activity. It is as if suggestions given during hypnosis come to define the individual's perception of the real world. In this case, the phenomenon has been described as "believed - in fantasy".

A Hypnotic state is a state in which the conscious mind is so preoccupied or confused, that a thought created by a statement or by experience can bypass the critical factor and pass powerfully into the subconscious mind. If not removed by subsequent conscious logic, the thought will remain as an ongoing and powerful force. Hypnosis produces an opportunity to create communication between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, which produces positive results.

Under Hypnosis, the subject would never do anything that is harmful to them nor would they do anything that they would not normally do in an awaken state. The subject, although extremely deep in relaxation, is fully aware of what he or she is doing and will remember the process.

Hypnosis in not an "Alternative Approach", but is considered "Complementary" to any other practice. This means that Hypnosis can enhance healing the Mind, Body and Spirit and works well with other methods of healing as well as speed up the process. It enhances as it works side by side in the Medical, Dental and Therapeutic fields as well. We produce our own health problems. Rather than covering up an issue or issues, getting to the core of the problem is the key to successfully diminishing, if not completely deleting the symptoms. Hypnosis opens the door to the essence of what had originally caused the problems, and through suggestion, it erases them all together.

Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy FAQ

Your Frequently Asked Questions Answered

• Hypnotism is officially recognised and approved by the British Medical Association.

What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a method by which any person may be guided into an altered state of conscious awareness ('hypnotic trance') in which psychological and physical changes, beyond normal conscious capability, may be achieved.

• Anyone can be hypnotised, if you can relax and follow simple instructions you can enjoy hypnotic trance.

• Measurable psychological and physical changes occur in hypnosis.

What does it feel like?
The experience is different for different people. For most people, however, hypnosis is a pleasant state of deep inner calm and physical relaxation. Deep hypnosis is similar in many ways to the kind of profound trance found in expert yoga or meditation practitioners.

Where does it come from?
Modern psychological hypnosis was first developed in 1843 by the Scottish physician James Braid. However, it has its origins in an earlier form of trance healing called 'Mesmerism', after the famous Eighteenth century Austrian Franz Anton Mesmer.

What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is basically any therapy done in conjunction with hypnotic trance. It is often classed as a form of complementary medicine but is perhaps better viewed as a branch of psychotherapy.

 Hypnosis is not an occult or esoteric art, it is a scientifically acknowledged psychological and therapeutic discipline.

When a registered psychotherapist employs hypnosis alongside other forms of psychotherapy this is technically known as ‘hypno-psychotherapy’. Hypnotherapists tend to use an integrative approach, which may combine programmes of direct verbal suggestion or visualisation with ‘analytic’ psychotherapy techniques such as age regression.

Does it work?
Yes. Hypnosis has fascinated psychologists and medical professionals for over a century and has been subject to a great deal of rigorous testing and research. It also has an enviable and long-standing reputation for effectiveness among the general public.

Is it officially recognised?
• ‘Hypnotism’ is legally acknowledged and defined by the Hypnotism Act 1952, in the UK Book of Statutes.

• In their 1892 Hypnotism Report, the British Medical Association (BMA) officially recognise the hypnotic trance: ‘The Committee, having completed such investigation of hypnotism as time permitted, have to report that they have satisfied themselves of the genuineness of the hypnotic state.’ The Committee also acknowledged that ‘as a therapeutic agent hypnotism is frequently effective in relieving pain, procuring sleep, and alleviating many functional ailments’ (BMA, 1892).

• In 1955 a follow-up report was commissioned which endorsed the findings of the original 1892 Committee, and added the conclusions that ‘hypnotism is of value and may be the treatment of choice in some cases of so-called psycho-somatic disorder and psychoneurosis. It may also be of value for revealing unrecognised motives and conflicts in such conditions. As a treatment, in the opinion of the Subcommittee it has proved its ability to remove symptoms and to alter morbid habits of thought and behaviour. […] In addition to the treatment of psychiatric disabilities, there is a place for hypnotism in the production of anaesthesia or analgesia for surgical and dental operations, and in suitable subjects it is an effective method of relieving pain in childbirth without altering the normal course of labour.’ (BMA, 1955)

Is hypnotherapy like stage hypnosis?
Stage hypnosis is slightly different from hypnotherapy, however it is real hypnosis and the effects produced are possible for everyone to experience. Some stage hypnotists do good work but others generate misconceptions about the nature of hypnotic trance, which may lead to unfounded fears about hypnosis. In clinical hypnotherapy clients are never asked to do anything embarrassing or against their will, the Clinical Hypnotherapist has an ethical code to use hypnotic state only for healing.

Is hypnosis safe?
Absolutely. There are no known records of anyone having been physically or mentally harmed as a direct result of hypnosis itself. 

• It is utterly impossible for anyone to get ‘stuck’ in hypnosis.
