Hypnosis Myths
Separating Fact from Fiction

The most common myth about hypnotists is being complete control over the individual’s mind. In reality, hypnosis is a state of heightened focus and suggestibility, and individuals always retain control over their actions and can reject suggestions that go against their values or beliefs.
Other myth implies that hypnosis is only effective on individuals who are weak-willed or gullible. In truth, hypnosis is a natural and common phenomenon that can be experienced by people of various personality types and levels of suggestibility. Clinical hypnotherapy is a growing practice. It can help treat a wide variety of health problems, such as phobias and irritable bowel syndrome. Plus, it can help break unhealthy habits, such as smoking. Unfortunately, portrayals of hypnotherapy in movies and on stage have created many myths about hypnotherapy.
Hypnosis is a Form of Sleep: This myth assumes that hypnosis is similar to being asleep or unconscious. However, during hypnosis, individuals are in a relaxed yet focused state of awareness where they can respond to suggestions and engage in therapeutic
Hypnotherapy makes you act against your will or share your secrets. Your hypnotherapist is there to help you—not manipulate you. “Many confuse ‘mind control’ with hypnosis. Hypnosis enhances one’s self-control,”.
Hypnotherapy doesn’t work on “smart” people. One persistent myth is that you have to be gullible to achieve hypnosis. In fact, studies have actually revealed the opposite. “People with low IQ are notoriously difficult to hypnotize,” “Smarter people are generally easier, possible because of the greater overload of messages they incur every day.”

As Your Psychotherapist,
I Passionately Facilitate This Mind and Body Coherence.

A useful way to understand the mind is to divide it into the conscious and unconscious minds. The conscious mind is the thinking, perceiving, judging part that exists through the five senses, which carry signals to the nervous system and the brain. It defines our thoughts, actions, and awareness. By contrast, the subconscious mind is the storehouse for all our memories, emotions, behaviours, habits, beliefs and values. It records and holds everything we see, hear, touch, taste and think. The unconscious mind is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts, urges and memories, which are outside of our conscious awareness. All of our behaviours are driven from the unconscious mind. Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy can help bring our unconscious feelings to the surface, so we can understand and alter unhelpful feelings stored in the subconscious. This allows us to reveal deep-rooted thoughts about our experiences, our world, and the people around us to obtain a balanced frame of mind.

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, also called talk therapy, has been used as a tool to improve mental health for well over a century. Psychotherapy tends to have a past and present focus. The purpose of psychotherapy is to help us change our behaviours and overcome whatever is holding a person us back from a balanced life. It allows us to look at ourselves objectively and recognise blind spots in our thinking. We all have behaviours and thoughts that we are not aware of.
As your psychotherapist, I can help you learn things about yourself that will awaken you to a better understanding of what makes you, you. When we are more self-aware, we feel empowered to transform unhelpful beliefs, compulsions, thoughts and emotions into positive thoughts and helpful behaviours. Self-awareness drives self-improvements that improve our overall wellbeing mental health.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis is a state from which you can make extremely powerful changes in your life. It is the state in which you are the most receptive, creative, and intuitive. What happens during hypnosis is the agreed surrender of your body and mind, which allows you to relax fully and open your mind to safe suggestions and positive changes delivered by a trained and trusted psychotherapist.
A number of ailments can be treated with professional hypnotherapy, from obsessions to anxieties, phobias, depression, eating disorders, insomnia and even the physical pain associated with cancer or migraine. Hypnotherapy has also been proven effective for increasing self-confidence and self-esteem, and even improving athletic performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
