How Does Hypnosis Work?

When people think of hypnosis, unfortunately they think of stage hypnosis. This is not what real hypnosis is about. Hypnosis is based upon neuroplasticity, which means that the brain can actually change the way in which it receives information when put into a certain state.

During the process of hypnosis there a simply three parts. One is deep relaxation. Two is a form of disorientation where you’re really hearing everything that I’m saying but you’re in a awake and yet semi sleeping state. And the third is where I put into your brain everything that we previously discussed.

You are always in control. You always know what’s being said, and it is always in agreement with what you and I agree on.

And best of all, it works. It forms new neuro-pathways to information, removing fear, anxiety, depression, promoting weight control, the list goes on.

The bottom line is hypnosis is a science. It’s not a magic trick, nor is it something that cannot be seen by medical science such as a PT scan. Try it. Change your life.

Getting Past the Trance Part of Hypnosis

Hypnotizing WatchWhen people hear the word “trance,” they understandably worry a bit. Immediately, their minds jump to pictures of themselves walking like zombies, completely out of control. Who knows what can happen to us when we’re in a trance, right?

The truth is we are almost always in a trance. Whether we’re driving, watching a movie, surfing the web, or cooking, we are always in a subtle involuntary state of semi-consciousness. It’s more rare to be fully conscious than it is to be in a trance.

Hypnosis Can Improve Your Memory

Human brain glowing lateral viewDetails matter.  Yet we lose them every day, and not every detail carries the same weight as the other. One lost item can mean the collapse of a larger picture.

Whether it’s forgetting a crucial ingredient to a beloved recipe, forgetting the reasons you make certain high-risk business decisions, forgetting what street you’re on, or where you were going…hypnosis can improve memory loss greatly, no matter what age you are… Curious about how?

What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?

In terms of describing what hypnosis feels like, I often like to compare it to guided meditation. The patient lays down on my recliner, closes his/her eyes, and is instructed to breathe deeply and consistently.

As I begin the induction in my soft and solid voice, you will begin to imagine what I’m saying. With each breath you take and each prompt I give your imagination, you will relax deeper and deeper. Your conscious mind will no longer be so prevalent, but on the other hand, you will not be falling asleep or becoming unconscious in any way.

After 20 minutes of the post-hypnotic suggestions, which are always tailored to the individual and created by me during our first session together, you will slowly come out of the trance-like state. You will not leave feeling dizzy, sleepy, or weakened in any way, but you will feel relaxed. And most importantly, you’ll notice that the problem you came to me for is gone.
