Frequently Asked Questions about Hypnotherapy
What is Hypnotherapy? It is a way of helping people to feel very relaxed and to respond to suggestions and ideas that are going to help them. However, it is not the same as being asleep.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is widely accepted as a most excellent method by which we may access our inner potential. The state of mind referred to may be brought about either by oneself, unaided (self-hypnosis) or with the help of another person. If this other person is a trained professional, who utilises the resultant state of mind to encourage beneficial change to occur, the process is referred to as “ Hypnotherapy”.
Hypnotherapy is method of healing the mind body and soul by trance state. Hypnotherapy has been used in different cultures through out the world in different forms for thousands of years. It could also be legitimately described as the original psychological therapy and somewhat more contentiously, as the basis for many of the more recent styles of psychological intervention.
Hypnotherapy is distinctive in that it attempts to address the client’s subconscious mind. In practice, the Hypnotherapist often (but not exclusively) requires the client to be in a relaxed state, frequently enlists the power of the client’s own imagination and may utilise a wide range of techniques to help the client to accept their suggestions at a deeper level than other ‘talking therapies’ can do, for instance, counselling.

While the client feels comfortable, gentle but powerful analytical techniques may also be employed in an attempt to uncover problems deemed to lie in a client’s past if this is necessary for the client to let go in order to move on and achieve what ever they want need or desire.
Regardless of the techniques employed, the most important thing is that a client should expect to feel comfortable and at ease with their therapist. This is of particular importance in Hypnotherapy, in which the value of the treatment is greatly enhanced when there is confidence in the practitioner.
Unlike many other psychological therapies, Hypnotherapy is generally known for getting quick results and due to the mixture of techniques used long lasting even permanent results occur.
Who can be hypnotised?
The answer to this question is undoubtedly everyone with normal intelligence. This claim must, however add there is a willingness to want to be hypnotised, allow it to happen and let it happen.
This willingness will itself depend upon a number of factors, not least of which will be the strength of the person’s particular need and their trust and confidence in the therapist they have chosen to work with.
It is always advisable to only be hypnotised by a fully trained and certified hypnotist.
Who may benefit from Hypnotherapy?
Again, the answer to this question is “virtually everyone”. Hypnotherapy stimulates the innate healing capacity of our own body. Consequently, the list of problems which may be amenable to Hypnotherapy is far too long and varied to catalogue but certainly includes: stress, anxiety, panic, phobias, unwanted habits and addictions (e.g. smoking, overeating, alcoholism), disrupted sleep patterns, lack of confidence and low self-esteem, fear of examinations and public speaking, allergies and skin disorders, migraine and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). it can also assist in helping to resolve relationship difficulties and be useful within anger management strategies.
Some Common Concerns
People are sometimes concerned that they will “lose control” in hypnosis. However, general consensus indicates that regardless of how deeply people may go in hypnosis and however passive they may appear to be, they actually remain in full control of the situation. They are fully able to talk stand up and go home if they so wish. A hypnotised person can not be made to do anything against their wishes.

The notion of a loss of control stems from most people’s misconception of stage hypnosis, wherein participants are apparently made to perform all manner of (usually foolish) acts. However, the reader should be aware that participation in a stage act is an entirely voluntary process (thus “permission” is already given to the hypnotist) and that there can be no such volunteer who is unaware of exactly what they are letting themselves in for!
