If you have experienced being influenced by both the physical and emotional aspects of horror movies, congratulations, you have already experienced the sensation of hypnosis.
The principle of hypnotherapy is to guide you into your subconscious when you are relaxed, to see hidden traumas, desires, fears, gently guide you to embrace these emotions, provide positive suggestions, and help you more effectively change your behavior and emotional responses.
Hypnosis has been developed in Europe and America since the 19th century and has been widely used in clinical settings, such as smoking cessation, weight loss, stress reduction, and anxiety treatment. More and more doctors and psychotherapists are undergoing hypnosis training and applying hypnosis to treat anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental illnesses, making it a safe and effective healing method.
Today, we invite hypnosis expert Professor Rong Xinqi to answer several hot questions and discuss the benefits of hypnosis.
â–² Will I fall asleep during hypnosis?
The answer is: Generally, no.
Hypnosis is not about “hypnotizing you to sleep.” When you are under hypnosis, you are in a state of deep relaxation, but your consciousness remains awake. You can hear surrounding sounds, control your actions, and feel very relaxed, like getting ready to fall asleep, but you can still hear the hypnotist’s voice clearly and remember everything that happened.
However, you don’t need to worry about losing control or falling into a deep sleep. Professional hypnotists also provide safety instructions for each case, and hypnotherapy is very safe and effective.
â–² Is hypnosis real?
Imagine watching a highly stimulating horror movie, with a plot as intense as riding a roller coaster, you are holding your breath, completely engrossed in the movie world, almost forgetting that you are just watching a movie.
This intense focus, being less sensitive to the surroundings, and being influenced by the movie’s plot is similar to the feeling during hypnosis. In this state, you are more likely to approach your subconscious, strip away all disguises, see your true self, and be more receptive to positive suggestions.
â–² Effects and Benefits of Hypnotherapy in 4 Major Aspects
Hypnosis is a powerful psychological healing tool that helps us explore deep inside, find the root causes of problems, and then solve various troubles encountered in daily life.
As for what hypnotherapy can actually help with? From my actual hypnosis experience, I will introduce 4 main issues that can be improved in detail. If any part is not covered, feel free to follow our official account and discuss with everyone.
1. Breaking Vicious Cycles
Do you feel trapped in a vicious cycle that you can’t escape? Vicious cycles can be divided into visible ones like binge eating or smoking due to anxiety, and invisible ones like repeated arguments with a partner or facing someone’s bad mood at work, affecting your mood negatively. Hypnotherapy can help you break the connection between emotions and behaviors.
A good hypnotist will guide you to reexamine your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, provide positive suggestions from the subconscious to deal with challenges. Often, individuals may not realize they are stuck in a vicious cycle, and the hypnotist will assist in uncovering overlooked thoughts during consultations.
2. Healing the Inner Child
Feeling and seeing the wounded inner child deep within your mind is incredibly powerful. This is why hypnotherapy is more effective in healing the inner child. During hypnosis, you can feel its grievances and mourn the wounded childhood together.
Most people may be surprised that this pain remains buried in the subconscious and deeply affects how we approach life and others. Through hypnosis, the hypnotist helps you reconnect with these moments of pain, release past suffering, readjust yourself, and have the space to face future challenges.
3. Delving into the Subconscious to Understand What You Want
Have you ever asked yourself, “What do I really want?” In a state of deep relaxation and focus, individuals can explore past experiences, emotions, and beliefs that have a profound impact on their life choices.
Through questioning and guidance, a hypnotist helps individuals deeply understand their desires and true wishes. When feeling lost in life, the subconscious often reveals the best answers.
4. Past Life Exploration
Exploring past lives is not a sensational experience; I believe that delving into past lives can bring inspirations to the present beyond your imagination.
· Understanding the Origins of Emotions and Behaviors: In past life exploration, individuals can see events, relationships, or emotions from past lives that may be the root of current emotional and behavioral patterns.
· Healing Past Traumas and Emotional Disturbances: Some traumas are deeply buried, and through hypnosis, individuals can re-experience these events and handle them with current wisdom and maturity. This healing process can release past pain, help individuals truly heal and grow.
· Enhancing Personal Growth and Awakening Process: If you are interested in personal and spiritual growth, past life exploration may provide profound insights. Deeper understandings of life purpose and meaning often arise through past life discussions. Past life exploration in hypnotherapy is a profound exploration process that aids in emotional, psychological, and spiritual healing and growth.
Make sure your hypnotist has the correct understanding; past life exploration is not about blaming anyone but a hypnotic method to help us in the present.
â–² 5 Elements to Evaluate whether Hypnosis is Suitable for You
Friends often ask me, who is not suitable for hypnosis? Or, what makes someone suitable for hypnosis? Having the right hypnosis concepts can help you maximize the benefits of hypnosis to achieve your goals. Here are 5 elements I have compiled:
â‘ Your Willingness and Trust
· Willingness to Try: You need to have a willingness to try. If you are skeptical or resistant to hypnosis, its effectiveness may be affected.
· Trust in the Hypnotist: You need to trust your hypnotist, which helps you relax and enter the hypnotic state.
â‘¡ Your Psychological State
· Mental Health: Generally, individuals with severe mental health issues (such as severe mental illness, extreme anxiety, or depression) may need to consult a professional psychologist before undergoing hypnosis.
· Emotional Stability: If you are currently emotionally stable, the effects of hypnosis will be better. Extreme emotional fluctuations may interfere with the hypnosis process.
â‘¢ Your Lifestyle
· Stress Level: Hypnosis is very effective for those looking to reduce stress or overcome anxiety. If you often feel high levels of stress or anxiety, hypnosis can be very helpful.
· Lifestyle Habits: If you have some habits you want to change, such as smoking or binge eating, hypnosis can help you reshape these behaviors.
· Vicious Cycles: If you find yourself stuck in some vicious cycles, hypnosis can help you break out of them.
â‘£ Your Physical Condition
· Physical Health: You need to ensure you are in relatively good physical condition. If you have severe medical conditions, it is advisable to seek advice from a doctor first.
⑤ Your Goals and Expectations
· Clear Goals: You need to have clear goals or expectations, such as reducing anxiety, overcoming fears, getting out of toxic relationships, and more. This helps the hypnotist design personalized hypnotherapy for you.
· Realistic Expectations: Hypnosis is not magic and cannot solve all problems instantly. You need to have reasonable expectations and understand that it is a process that may require multiple sessions to see significant results.
Lastly, I would like to remind everyone that choosing a qualified hypnotherapist is crucial. Look for professionals with certification and rich experience, and ensure they follow ethical standards. Hypnotherapy usually includes initial consultations, interviews, the hypnosis process, and aftercare support.
