Think of a time when you tried to get the attention of a person in the middle of a good movie or checking email on the computer. Hypnosis feels very similar to the state of being ‘zoned out’ in front of the TV or Computer.
Because of this, nearly everyone can be hypnotized in one form or another. We go into greater detail of who all can be hypnotized and not in this section here.
Hypnosis happens easily through natural relaxation and focus of attention. You are aware and alert and if you need to get up or interrupt yourself you can – but you are focused intently on what you are doing.
The more you allow yourself to relax and focus your attention on the suggestions given (just like when you are watching a movie following the story), the more receptive you will be to that suggestion – and the more likely you are to agree with and act on that suggestion.
Of course, any suggestion you don’t agree with will simply be rejected. You can always reject any suggestion give to you that you don’t wish to re-enforce.
Like anything else, the more you practice going into hypnosis the easier it becomes and before long you’ll get very good at going into hypnosis whenever you want – whether it’s in a session with your hypnotherapist or at home using self-hypnosis programs.
Live & customized sessions with a qualified hypnotherapist are always best though. It allows your hypnotherapist to tailor the program specifically to your special & unique needs so you can get the most from your experience.
Suggestions given to you in a way that accurately reflects the way you’re perceiving the problem, and that follow your unique decision making process will make the hypnosis program more effective. Private sessions are completely focused on your particular situation. As a result, they are more engaging, more personalized, more fun, and ultimately more effective.
