Are Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis the Same?

Not quite. Hypnosis is as described above, whereas hypnotherapy is the practice of using hypnosis for therapeutic purposes. This can include treating anxiety or finding ways to encourage your subconscious to kick bad habits. Hypnotherapists are trained and specialize in helping people regularly achieve this state of suggestibility.

Does Hypnosis Put Me to Sleep?

You may feel relaxed enough to fall asleep, but hypnosis actually heightens your mental focus beyond anything you're normally used to. You will remain aware of anything that happens during a session. The idea of being open to suggestion means that you retain the power to acknowledge new ideas and decide on meaningful changes of your own accord.

Are There Side Effects to Hypnosis?

There are no negative side effects to hypnosis. There are no medications used and there's no way to harm your mind. However, hypnosis is not meant to be used in place of situations where medical attention or treatment is required. In those situations, hypnosis may serve as meaningful supplemental care to the treatment program prescribed by your doctor.

Does Hypnosis Actually Work?

It might seem like a cop-out answer, but hypnotherapy really only does work if you're open to the idea that it can help you change. It's often mis-characterized as some sort of magic or mental trick that changes your mind. Rather, it's more about quieting mental activity and inhibitions so that your subconscious mind can be open to and absorb new ideas that can make a lasting impact on your behaviors.

Does Hypnosis Make Me Lose Control?

Again, hypnosis is not a form of mind control like Hollywood or cartoons would have you believe. It's impossible to suddenly change someone's ideas or values through hypnosis. The state of suggestibility simply makes you more agreeable, leaving your mind to be open to the idea of exploring and sharing things you might tell yourself you have a problem with in normal circumstances. This can help you investigate things deeper and find new solutions.

What Can Hypnosis Treat?

Hypnosis can treat symptoms related to physical, mental, or behavioral issues. It effectively shifts your perspective so that you can learn to replace views and ideas about anxiety, confidence, fears, self-love, and even self-destructive habits. You'll learn to re-shape your view of yourself and others to make more positive decisions.

Is Hypnosis a Substitute for Medical Care?

In most cases, it is not. You should always consult the opinion of a medical professional regarding issues with your health. A health care expert can advise you on whether or not issues like depression or anxiety are medical or learned behaviors. In any case, hypnosis can serve as a highly beneficial supplement to any prescribed medical care. Professional treatment can tend to your physical ailments, while hypnosis can help retrain and center your mind.
