As we promised in the last post, I’m going to continue the list of myths that revolve around hypnosis.
I hope that by the end of this post I will be able to answer all the questions you might have about therapeutic hypnosis. If this does not happen, I kindly remind you that you can always send me a message with any questions :) You Can Always Contact me here >>>
1. There are people who believe that hypnosis can be dangerous!
Far from being dangerous, hypnosis brings extraordinary benefits mentally, emotionally and physically.
Think about everything that happens to your body during a hypnosis session. Your body is so deeply relaxed that you almost don't feel it, you lose connection with it. Your mind is relieved of stress, of unnecessary negative thoughts, and instead pays attention only to the positive suggestions it receives.
In this state you face a calm and total sense of peace, feeling that everything around you is perfect. You are in total control of your destiny, you are happy, confident and fulfilled.
How bad could this condition be for your health?
💜It is worth noting that in 1955 the British Medical Association approved hypnosis as a valid medical treatment.
💜Three years later, in 1958, the American Medical Association approved hypnosis as a valid therapy.
2.Another common fear of people is that you may not be able to get out of the hypnotic trance.
You can't stay stuck in hypnosis any longer than you could stay awake when you dream with your eyes wide open.
Hypnosis is a state of mind that occurs so naturally that you go in and out several times over the normal course of a day, whether you are aware of it or not.
Hypnosis can be viewed from two perspectives: as a state and as a process. The process can generate the state but at the same time the state can appear spontaneously, without that process.
If we think of hypnosis as a process, a hypnosis session involves a series of steps designed to bypass the conscious mind in order to establish communication with the subconscious mind. You can't get stuck in a hypnotic state, with no way out or with consequences on your natural state.
There are cases in which the client enters the state of hypnotic trance so deeply that he may want to prolong the experience. If the hypnotist fails to get the client out of hypnosis, he will return to full self-awareness spontaneously within minutes.
After such an experience, when you open your eyes you will feel completely awake, rested and feeling good.
3.The connection between hypnosis and religion?
Hypnosis is not associated with any of the world's religions. An ethical, professional hypnotist always respects the client's faith and will not try to improperly influence his or her religious beliefs.
Finally, I want to emphasize that hypnosis therapy cannot cause physical or psychological problems. It is 100% natural, and no more dangerous to the brain than sleeping or daydreaming.
It's such a good state of mind that the known genius Albert Einstein used it every day. Therefore, those who claim it to be unsafe or dangerous are only uneducated in the field.
