Q. "What happens on stage shows?"
A. Who volunteers to go on stage at these shows?... People who have seen the shows before and are prepared to do whatever is asked of them - that is why they volunteered. They are exhibitionists, show-offs, people who like to be the center of attention. They are UP FOR IT! You can't be made to do anything that you don't want to do. If hypnosis could do that, then we wouldn't need guns to rob banks.
Q. "What if it doesn't work?"
A. Hypnosis works, but only if the client really wants the change to take place. Hypnotherapy was approved as a medical tool by The British Medical Association in 1955; The American Medical Association approved it in 1958. They were carrying out amputations and brain tumor removal only using hypnosis for pain control
Q. "What happens if I get stuck in Hypnosis?"
A. It is impossible to get stuck in hypnosis. Hypnosis is just a state of relaxation. You are aware of everything that is going on around you. If an airplane flew by overhead you would hear it, if a phone rang you would hear it, but none of these things would matter to you.
Q. "What happens if I can't be hypnotized?"
A. There are only two classifications of people who can't be hypnotized; some one who has an IQ of below 70 (which is really mentally subnormal). Or someone who is on such strong medication that the just can't understand what the hypnotist is saying. Other than that, anyone can be hypnotized.
Q. "How exactly does it work?"
A. There are two parts to your mind: the conscious and unconscious part. The conscious part is the part you act with, think with, make everyday decisions with, it controls your willpower, it's the part you think is in control of your life.
If it was (and lets say for example that you were scared of spiders) then the next time you saw a spider... you would simply say to yourself "I'm not scared of spiders any more, it's ridiculous to feel this way, they are so small, I could simply stand on it if I wanted" - but the next time you saw a spider, you would freak out again. So your conscious is obviously not in control.
In the unconscious part of your mind all of your habits are stored and controlled. In this part of your mind we make the changes, we can only access this part of your mind when you are relaxed, because that's all hypnosis is, it's just a state of relaxation. It has also been described as 'An altered state of awareness' you are always aware and in control at every moment you are in hypnosis, you can hear things going on around you, but they are not important and finally and most important... you can open your eyes at any time you wanted.
There is no feeling of being hypnotized... the feeling does not exist... at no point during a session of hypnosis, will you ever actually feel hypnotized. You will just feel comfortable and relaxed and maybe a bit sleepy, but not always.
Q. "Is hypnosis guaranteed to work?"
A. No, of course it can't be guaranteed; if it could, every hypnotherapist on the planet would be booked solidly for the rest of their lives. What we can say is that the majority of people do experience positive changes in their behaviors.
We have found that the success our clients experience is linked to their commitment and motivation for wanting to make the change take place. I decided to inquire about acupuncture once, and asked "Do you guarantee that you will cure my problem?" They replied "No." Well after three sessions they didn't cure it and I lost my money, but I was prepared to take that chance, but acupuncture is successful for lots of people, just not me.
The British Medical Association approved hypnosis in 1955, so it is not a case that hypnosis doesn't work... it does. People need to be educated as to what it can do and how it works. Hopefully this article will help just a little.
