Anxiety and Fear – Using hypnosis to get Relief-2

This is the 2nd of the 4 posts on using hypnosis for the relief of emotional (anxiety & fear) and physical symptoms (migraines & IBS).

Continued . . .    The two top fears that people have about hypnosis and hypnotic work are that they might feel
1) Out of control
2) Doing something that embarrassing because of a hypnotic suggestion.

But, in actuality no matter what type of hypnosis is used (Classical or Ericksonian) you can’t be forced to do anything you don’t want to do.  Your body will not accept suggestions that are not right for you, or not in alignment with your inner values.   If it were possible to “force” people then those who wanted to stop any habit would immediately find themselves acting differently.  But the truth is that hypnosis will only stop a habit when you are in complete agreement and want to stop the habit.  It  is necessary  to resolve the underlying issues at the root the habit for hypnotic suggestions to “hold.”     I have found that in a trance state you not only remain in complete control of your actions but also are very true to yourself.   With a little humor, I  tell my clients that if the could quickly go into a trance state, when people make requests of them, they’d find it easier say “no” to the requests that they don’t want to do, than they do in the normal conscious state.

Whenever I do a workshop, a consultation or hypo-therapy I make sure the participants are aware that they can remain awake and aware,  even as the are doing transformational work.  Actually remaining awake, aware, and totally in control, while in trance is important because you, the participant are actually creating the change.

I like to tell the story of a client of mine  who brought in a cartoon to therapy one day.  In this cartoon there was a man upside down,  with his feet stuck to the ceiling, and the caption was  “I still don’t think I am hypnotized.”  I loved this cartoon  because it so aptly illustrates an important point about hypnosis:  you can make immense changes in your life without feeling hypnotized.  Yet the trance state helps you to access deep within where it is possible to make positive changes with apparent ease.

What makes hypnosis such a powerful tool is that. . .   continued tomorrow.
