What is Hypnotherapy?
Many people confuse Hypnotherapy with the shows they've seen put on by hypnotists for entertainment purposes. Some of these show hypnotists get people to quack like a duck, take off some clothes, and stiffen up like a board to be placed between two chairs. As a Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy I am not a performer. I use hypnosis only for relaxation purposes.
Hypnotherapy has been approved by the American Medical Association since 1958 as a valid medical treatment. Recent studies have shown that 94 percent of people benefit from Hypnotherapy, lowering blood pressure, and normalizing autonomic nervous system functions.
The truth is that as a Doctor of Clinical Hypnotherapy, I can't make you do anything you don't really want to do, even with the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is not a coercive mind-control tool. It is a natural state of the mind that you experience countless times a day. It is also an advanced form of relaxation. It is not something one person "does" to another.
When you read a book, go to the movies, even drive your car, you are using self-hypnosis. When you relax and daydream, when you watch TV, when you go over events in your mind, you are using self-hypnosis. All hypnosis is self-induced. It cannot happen without your full consent and collaboration.
Hypnosis is not sleep. And when you are under hypnosis, it doesn't feel like anything "different" is happening. You are fully aware of everything that is going on around you, and you can bring yourself out of it anytime you choose to. It just feels like you are relaxed and able to concentrate, much as when you go to the movies or when you read a magazine.
