  What is Hypnosis?

  Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state in which the subconscious mind can communicate and interact with the conscious mind. It is a state of mind similar to deep relaxation, with intense concentration and increased suggestiveness that is experienced when brainwaves activity slows down to an “alpha” frequency, exemplified by smooth transition to and from the sleep phase. Many experts define hypnosis as the “altered consciousness” because the mind remains fully aware of the surrounding circumstances, even if it seems that the person has fallen asleep. Hypnosis is not a dream. I have often worked with clients who were surprised by the high level of perception under hypnosis and amazed with the results that can be achieved.

  Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon we experience daily in moments of deep relaxation and increased concentration. Examples of commonly experienced hypnotic states include the feeling of “losing oneself” reading an interesting book; failure to notice the distance between point A and B while driving; crying in the cinema when actors in the movie become real figures for us and we respond with strong emotions, as well as “switching off” during physical exercise.

  What does hypnosis feel like? People who have undergone hypnosis describe it as a pleasant and relaxing experience and even a single session can provide rest equal to several hours of sleep. The main feelings experienced during the hypnotic trance include a sense of deep relaxation, tingling, a state of heaviness, eyeball rolling, and steady and deep breath. The client remains fully aware of what is happening with the body and breathing, can hear noises in the room and reacts to any change in temperature. Most importantly, the client NEVER loses control over what is happening – on the contrary, they can voluntarily accept or reject the hypnotherapist’s suggestions. The main idea of hypnosis is to provide suggestions and apply techniques that help the client to implement any actions and behaviours they wish to experience, and not to transmit anything contrary to their system of values.

  What is Hypnotherapy?

  

  Hypnosis is a state of consciousness while hypnotherapy is the real therapy following the hypnosis used to introduce the hypnotic trance.

  In hypnotherapy, suggestions and various techniques are used to support the subconscious in achieving goals or to get rid of existing problems.

  The resistance of the subconscious mind may prevent the client from responding to suggestions used in hypnosis, and it is hypnotherapy’s task to help the subconscious identify and remove the cause of the problem. The competent hypnotherapist knows how to do this and would never suggest a client that their reluctance to participate stems from the fact that they are not ready for hypnosis.

  In hypnotherapy, the potential of the subconscious mind allows treatment of long-lasting habits, and unwanted emotional and mental states or behaviours. It is also an effective tool to control and manage a variety of uncomfortable problems, such as phobias, sleeplessness, certain eating habits and panic attacks. Hypnotherapy is efficient in solving multiple clinical problems, such as pain, depression, and skin problems.

  Hypnotherapy is generally considered a relatively short-term therapy and beneficial changes should appear after several sessions.

  The Conscious and Subconscious Mind

  In order to understand the process of hypnosis and to get to know how hypnosis works, it is necessary to understand the ways in which the human mind functions. 

  There are three parts of the human mind, each with a separate function:

  • The Conscious Mind
  • The Subconscious Mind
  • The Critical Factor – the filter

  The Conscious Mind allows us to become aware of things, according to the principle that when we pay attention to something, we become aware of it. The conscious mind can analyse things, it can distinguish and evaluate what is good and what is bad. It is part of mind that rationally decides what is possible and what is not. Its functions include the process of thinking, feeling, analysis, decision-making and logic. Consciousness trains what we call willpower. It is also the place where temporary memory is stored and used daily to enable normal functioning and performing various activities without having to memorise everything.

  The Subconscious Mind is who we really are and is responsible for what we call personality. It is where our thoughts, memories, accumulated emotions and experiences are located. The subconscious mind controls our emotions, habits and responses to the surrounding reality. It is also the place where permanent memory is stored. The potential of the subconscious mind is amazing; it is well organised, allowing almost immediate access to certain information or behaviours when the situation requires.

  The functions of the subconscious mind that determine who we really are include:

  • the protective function – the subconscious resists information that is not consistent with previously accepted information
  • habits
  • beliefs
  • high level of organisation
  • unlimited possibilities
  • stimulation of the imagination

  Each idea admitted to the subconscious mind is accepted as an absolute truth. It is also the seat of our emotions and feelings and can easily distinguish success from failure and health from disease.

  The Critical Factor is partly located in the conscious area and in the subconscious area of the mind. It works like a filtering mechanism that compares new information reaching consciousness with information that already exists in the subconscious mind. The critical factor accepts those suggestions which remain in harmony with the client’s value system and rejects suggestions they do not accept. The critical factor allows information to be stored as a fact and enables the weakening or strengthening of existing beliefs and habits.

  The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is also related to the Critical Factor and plays an important role in the ability to achieve goals. RAS takes instructions from the conscious mind and transmits them to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is not able to distinguish real events from synthetic reality and accepts, in good faith, any message that is passed to it. When we form a clear image of our goal in our conscious mind (for example according to the principle of set the goal, visualise it, create its affirmation) the RAS transmits the obtained image to our subconscious mind, which in turn helps achieve the goal. In this process, our attention is drawn to all the relevant information that otherwise would go unnoticed. A good example of this is practising a speech through its visualisation.

  The only way to obtain real changes is to reprogram our subconscious mind to bypass the critical factor. This can be done through:

  • our memories, habits and emotions
  • through hypnosis

  Similarly to reprogramming a computer, hypnosis works by updating our subconscious mind with the new and refreshed information. Hypnosis is a much easier way to bypass the critical factor, because during a hypnosis session the critical factor becomes dormant. The conscious mind remains active and is able to take decisions on a continuous basis, so we can exercise full control. At the same time, our subconscious mind remains open to any suggestions that our conscious mind wants to accept.

• Hypnosis Myths & Misconceptions

  Hypnosis is the result of hypnotherapist interference

  The hypnotherapist DOES NOT have any control over the client and their suggestions work only to the limits strictly defined by the client. If you allow someone in your life to guide you towards a new kind of experience, then who has control over the ongoing process? You or someone else? The hypnotherapist can guide you through the new type of experience only to the extent that has been approved by you. Above all, hypnosis means cooperation on both sides.

  Not everyone is susceptible to hypnosis

  Anyone can be induced into a hypnotic state. In practice, certain groups of people are less susceptible to hypnosis, but it does not mean that they cannot experience it. Usually, they react more slowly to hypnotic suggestions because, for example, they are afraid of losing control, they find it difficult to differentiate the ambiguous state of relaxation or tension and they are full of fear in the face of possible changes. Once the cause of the uncertainty is identified and removed, the problem usually disappears. Everyone can be induced into hypnosis but there are also contraindications to its implementation such as schizophrenia, epilepsy or psychosis. If you suffer from any of these conditions you should remain under medical supervision and take appropriate medication.

  It is necessary to remain motionless with closed eyes during hypnosis

  Everyone, without exception, can move during the hypnosis session. What happens when your skin itches and you need to scratch? This is absolutely no reason to stop the hypnotic trance. It is true that in many hypnotic inductions there are suggestions to keep your eyes closed but this is not always the norm. A typical example are clients suffering from panic attacks or severe trauma – the very suggestion “close your eyes” could make them feel anxious and full of fear, and it is precisely in order to get rid of these symptoms that they came to visit the hypnotherapist.

  

  Hypnosis is dangerous

  Hypnosis IS NOT dangerous. The client always has full control of the situation and can leave the hypnotic trance at any time. The qualified and ethical hypnotherapist always cares about the emotional comfort of the client and treats them with due care, dignity and respect.

  Can you “get stuck” in hypnosis?

  Hypnosis means a state of concentration directed to the inside or to the outside. The state of hypnosis remains under the complete control of the client, who can initiate or terminate this experience at any time. The client can speak or is free to get up and leave the office at any time. During therapy the hypnotherapist cannot do anything that would interfere with the client’s ethical or moral beliefs or their system of values.

  Under hypnosis you fall asleep or become unconscious

  Hypnosis DOES NOT mean that you are asleep. From the physical point of view the state of hypnosis is like sleep (slow breathing, reduced activity, relaxed muscles). From the mental point of view the client stays relaxed yet remains alert and is aware of the ongoing situation at any time during the hypnotic trance.

  Relaxation is necessary for being hypnotised

  Hypnosis means a state of concentrated attention which varies in its intensity, depending on the individual predisposition of the client. Hypnosis can develop spontaneously, for example during a conversation or while reading a book and also when our attention is strongly focused. You may feel anxious and at the same time remain concentrated. Therefore, physical relaxation is not necessary to initiate the state of hypnosis.

  Is it possible to resist an initiated process of hypnosis?

  There is a common belief that the hypnotherapist controls the client’s will, which means that once you have become influenced by the hypnotherapist he will be able to exercise full control over the situation. This is not true, as the process of hypnosis means an emotionless interaction which is built on the interaction of mutual forces in order to achieve the intended result. If, for any reason, the client does not want to experience hypnosis, they will be able to refuse it. The nature of the process of hypnosis is always determined by its context. Even clients who are highly susceptible to hypnosis may refuse to respond to the suggestions. In such an event, any previous experience with hypnosis does not matter. The key to determining the expected results is always mutual communication and interaction in the context of any hypnosis session.

   

  The widely propagated view that during hypnosis the client does not control the situation is derived from misinterpretations of stage hypnosis, where the participants sometimes behave unreasonably. We should be aware that participation in stage hypnosis is a completely voluntary process, because the hypnotist receives “permission” to act and the volunteer from the audience is fully aware of what they are involved in.
