What is hypnosis?
                     WHAT IS HYPNOSIS? 
 
Here is a quick overview of what clinical hypnosis is really about and how it can help you 
change your lifestyle for the better. 
If you want to know what it feels like to be hypnotized, contact me and learn more about 
yourself - hypnosis courses. I would suggest starting with a hypnotherapist who will teach 
you how to successfully use a self-hypnotizing guide. This guide will help you explore 
hypnosis, including a clear understanding of what hypnosis is, what actually happens in the 
brain during hypnosis, and what you can do to get started. Read more about weight loss

Although there are many places that offer hypnosis training and certification, it can be helpful 
to seek out a certified psychological professional from the American Society for Clinical 
Hypnosis. If you are considering hypnosis, check with your insurance company and make 
sure you are interested in being hypnotized for medical purposes. 
If you are interested in hypnotherapy, it is important to look for a professional who has a 
degree in psychology, as well as training in hypnosis and other mental health issues. To 
understand the difference between hyp-hypnosis and hyp-naturals, one must consider it as 
a tool. Hypn therapy is something that could be used for medical purposes, as opposed to 
something you could use if you aspire to entertainment. Another type of hypnosis, called 
stage hypnosis, is performed for pure fun and does not necessarily involve the same degree 
of deep relaxation as hypnosis. 
This form of hypnosis requires a very deep trance, and only about 7% of the population have 
the right processing style to experience this type of hypnosis. For it is the person who brings 
about hypnosis, while the hypnotist actually directs the process. 
If you consider yourself a hypnotherapist and use hypnosis with your clients, I think it would 
be easy for you to explain to someone what it is not. Your therapist's work and your definition 
of hypnosis will greatly influence your work with your clients. This makes it difficult for me to 
explain my own work and meaning, but I will do my best to explain to them what hypnosis is 
so that they understand it better before they visit me for hypnotherapy. 
Next time someone asks you what hypnosis is, you should reel off all the definitions and 
facts explained in this article and hopefully fascinate someone else with the power of 
hypnosis. Here are some things about each stage of hypnosis that are definitely worth 
considering. I am not going to make any reference to them here, because it has much more 
to do with the person or people being hypnotised than you are, but they are for 
entertainment. If you have seen a variety show on TV, you know that you are under clinical 
hypnosis, which will have the same hypnotic effects as what you see on TV or in a variety 
of shows. 
But clinical hypnosis does not mean that a hypnotist swings a pocket watch back and forth 
in front of another person's eyes and casts a spell over him. Genuine hypnosis and 
hypnotherapy does not involve swinging a pocket watch and is not practised on stage as 
part of an entertainment act. 
The hypnotist will not behave in such a way that you forget the session, so you do not have 
to worry about hidden ideas lurking in your subconscious. Do not lose control of your 
behavior because hypnosis is sometimes portrayed in movies and television. Do not lose 
consciousness or fall asleep during hypnosis, and you need not worry that hidden thoughts, 
feelings, or any hidden idea lurking in the subconscious will harm you. 
Although no one knows exactly how hypnosis works, this much is certain: a doctor or 
therapist can give a person a way to control a physical problem, change unhealthy behavior, 
or hypnotize the person. The hypnotized subject responds to the suggestion, which explains 
why it can be an effective form of behavioral change therapy. Depending on the suggestions, 
hypnosis is usually a relaxing experience that can either be beneficial to the patient who is 
tense and anxious or harms him. 
Once the subject is in a relaxed, trance-like state, the hypnotherapist can speak to suggest 
ways to manage pain or reduce cravings for smoking or overeating. In addition to using 
relaxing images to create a sense of security and well-being, a hypnotherapist can also talk 
about why hypnosis is used. 
If you have a better idea of what hypnosis is, you have more confidence that it is the right 
treatment for you.  
Let's talk about what hypnosis is not and why some people are afraid to use it (or themselves 
- hypnosis). Many of the misconceptions about hypnosis are due to the way it was portrayed 
in movies. When hypnotists try to do it in person all the time, the idea comes that people are 
receptive or that other people are not - hypnotizable when they do. Since the mid-19th 
century, however, research has shown how to adapt the hypnosis approach to a mental 
template for the listener, so that anyone can be hypnotized.
