What is Hypnosis?
At its core, hypnotic trance is a natural state of highly focused attention of the mind that any of us has experienced one time or another. Hypnosis, as distinguished from trance states, is a method used by trained practitioners to induce a trance state to help someone. Licensed clinicians, trained and certified in hypnosis, have a deeper understanding of this trance state and how to apply methods of hypnosis in your mental health or medical care. In hypnosis, the healthcare practitioner facilitates this natural ability through hypnotic inductions that increase your mind's openness and receptivity to positive change. Hypnosis uses metaphor, the mind's eye, imagery, and other sensory systems to assist you in expanding and accessing the wealth of knowledge within you, that is unique to you, and can help you in what you want to accomplish. The more you practice and experience hypnosis, you will learn what it feels like and how it is different.
Myths of Hypnosis
Nonetheless, hypnosis can 'work like magic' at times, especially when results happen surprisingly fast. While fast outcomes are not always the case, hypnosis is a powerful tool that many people respond to very well. In the past, hypnosis has been used for entertainment by stage hypnotists, or by lay hypnotists who have no degree or training. This use of hypnosis for entertainment, or in the movies, has generated a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis and how it can be used in professional settings. Hypnosis is not mind control or a means of getting someone to do something they cannot or do not want to do. Many of these myths have been largely dispelled through greater public awareness and as licensed clinicians obtain professional training and use hypnosis for legitimate purposes. You remain in control of the whole process under the guidance of a trained hypnotist.
