Hypnosis And Its Relaxing Effects

Hypnosis and it’s relaxing effects are brought about by putting you in a trance-like state where you are completely relaxed and feeling calm. Basically hypnosis is like opening a door to your subconscious and the hypnotherapist speaks directly to it. The conscious brain is bypassed and you have incredible focus and concentration.

Hypnosis and it’s relaxing effects is used to modify behaviors like over eating or smoking. You can even be hypnotized to change how you perceive sensations and emotions in your everyday world.

Therapeutic Hypnosis can help improve your quality of life and well-being. This is completely the opposite of the stage type of hypnosis where the hypnotist makes people do things they normally wouldn’t do under different circumstances. The truth is no one can make you do something you are completely against doing. You may be more open to suggestion but you will never give away control completely.

Hypnosis is generally used to control or even eliminate certain bad behaviors you would rather live without. Quitting smoking and weight loss are two of the biggest reasons why people get hypnotized. Other reasons someone might choose to undergo hypnosis are for pain control, stress reduction, allergies, asthma, preparing for surgery, giving birth, getting rid of their fear of the dentist, chemotherapy management, skin ailments, and stomach or intestinal problems. Hypnosis will not cure any of these medical conditions but with some adjunct therapies and procedures it can be a great help in relieving symptoms associated with these conditions.

Some people even believe that they can go through a surgical procedure while under hypnosis. I do not think I could be that brave. I would want the anesthesiologist to put me under first. What kind of predicament would you be in if you suddenly came out of your hypnosis in the middle of the surgery. That would just not be cool.

Side effects or adverse reactions are minimal but things like headache, light-headedness, increased anxiety, or nausea could occur afterward. Do not worry though, people are usually just fine after hypnosis and do not experience any of these after effects.

If hypnosis is being used to help you through some traumatic part of your past you and your therapist should take great care when taking you back to your childhood. Some think that this is a controversial practice and may contribute to creating false memories or at least altering the memories you do have.

You have enough troubles, you do not need to have someone putting things in your head that do not belong there. Find a hypnotherapist you can trust, get a recommendation from someone who has had hypnosis performed before. If they had a good experience you probably will, too. Ask for references, and call them, if you find one that no one you know has used before. Just try to relax on the day of your session. Be as comfortable as possible, wear loose fitting comfortable clothing and do not be afraid to ask questions.

Hypnosis and it’s relaxing effects, when performed by a professionally trained hypnotherapist is considered a safe alternative medical treatment.
