permanence.
Can anybody be
hypnotized?
People who are mentally
and emotionally stable and free of mental illness can be hypnotized in most
cases if they are willing and open or receptive. The depth of hypnosis varies

to be hypnotized. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Hypnosis will only work if you
want to create the change. No one can make us do what we don't want
to.
Is hypnosis
medically approved?

Association and American Psychiatric Association have approved Hypnotherapy for
use by professionally trained individuals. The British Medical Association also
adapted Hypnosis as a viable medical tool in 1958 the same year as the
AMA.
Will insurance
cover Hypnosis?
Some insurance
companies will reimburse you if you get a referral from your doctor to use
Hypnosis. You'll want to check with your medical insurance company for further
information.
How will I
know I have gone into Hypnosis?
The easiest way to know
you have succeeded in being hypnotized is to compare how you felt at the
beginning of the session and then at the end. Did more time pass than you
thought? Notice how your body responds to suggestions of heaviness, lightness,
coolness and warmth during the hypnotherapy session.
If I have
control issues or have a hard time relaxing can I be
hypnotized?
Hypnosis is a guided
inner journey where the Hypnotherapist assists the client in relaxing the body.
The more you relax the body the more the mind will relax. Clients tend to find
that this process helps them relax deeper than they are able to do on their
own. For people who feel they have control issues, they are actually great
candidates because they are able to stay focused on the guidance of the
Therapist and naturally move into a state of Hypnosis.
Can someone
who is easily distracted use self-hypnosis?
Relaxation techniques
are used that are designed to keep the conscious mind busy in order to bypass
it and access the subconscious mind. Techniques include keeping the mind
focused on something like counting and as the client relaxes the busy conscious
mind also begins to relax allowing hypnosis to occur.
Sometimes I
want to change and other times I do not (being honest with myself) can hypnosis
help me?
Some people are not
ready to give up their habits or undesirable behavior. Without the motivation,
or want to change the success of Hypnosis will become challenging. In that
instance, NLP may be used to find out why there is resistance and what is
stopping the change from being accepted, doing the healing work and then
beginning the hypnosis.
