The Hypnosis SessionAfter an initial consultation you will be invited to relax in an armchair and then guided into a deep physical and mental relaxation. This hypnotic state is a normal and natural state of being, and regardless of how deeply you go in hypnosis and however passive you appear to be you will remain in full control of
situation and will be able to talk and can terminate
session at any time.
At
end of
session, you will be gently returned to
normal working state and will generally find
experience deeply relaxing.
You will then have
opportunity to talk through your experience with your therapist.
What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
Some individuals will experience a light floating sensation whilst others may report a feeling of heaviness in their limbs. . . think of it this way. If we gathered a group of individuals on
beach and asked them to go into
sea, we would see a wide variety of methods. Some would run into
sea and swim out to
horizon, others would dive underwater, whilst others would gently paddle along
sea shore. The same is true with a group of people entering hypnosis. Some will jump right in and enjoy a deeper quality of relaxation than they have ever had before and others will just gently try out
shallow waters.
Who can be hypnotised?
Most people can be hypnotised;
speed, ease and depth of
hypnosis depends upon
individual’s willingness,
strength of
person’s need and their trust and confidence in
client.
How Hypnosis works
The brain is an organ that can be seen and held. The mind is that ‘thing’ that is unseen and physically immeasurable, yet appears to be
part of us that ‘runs everything’. The mind has two distinctive parts, which are referred to as
conscious mind and
subconscious mind. · Conscious Mind The conscious mind constitutes five percent of
brain. In
normal waking state,
conscious mind is in control, it checks every input received by our senses, evaluates
information and makes decisions while we are awake and thinking rationally. The conscious mind can drift into daydreaming, or become unaware of our reactions during monotonous routines or repetitive activity, and it abandons its responsibilities when we sleep.
