Who can be hypnotized?
Hypnosis is a normal state
that people experience everyday when driving, reading, watching a movie, or doing anything that engrosses them so fully
that they become unaware of outside stimuli. It is estimated that 90% of the population can be hypnotized as long
as they are willing to be. In fact, stronger willed individuals who want to be hypnotized usually achieve excellent
results.
How does hypnosis work?
Our
minds work on two levels, conscious and subconscious. Hypnosis is a relaxed state wherein the subconscious and the
conscious mind can work on the same concept at the same time without conflict. This allows us to make wanted
changes by resolving or reducing behaviors that no longer serve us such as habits, stress, anxiety and
attitudes.
Will I be able to come out of it?
Yes.
No one has ever gotten "stuck" in hypnosis. In fact, it would be impossible to remain hypnotized. If a hypnotized
client were left unattended, the client would rest for a few moments and then bring himself or herself easily out
of hypnosis.
Will I do something against my will?
No,
you are aware of what is taking place at all times and are always in control. A hypnotherapist cannot make
you do anything that you do not want to do or that violates your belief system. That
is why it is very important that you really do want to make a change.
Stop Smoking using Hypnosis
Hypnosis is an effective way to stop smoking. A special
rate will be arranged for those few occasions when a follow up session is needed.
In cases where a person has failed to stop smoking it's usually
because the person truly did not want to quit. For example, if a person was motivated by a promised
reward of some sort by another person, but truly did not wish to quit smoking, hypnosis may not be helpful. As stated
earlier, you cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do.
