For most therapeutic goals, light trance is enough to enable almost everyone to benefit from hypnotherapy to some extent.
About 85% of people can go into at least a light trance. By the same token, some people are able to go into trance more quickly and more deeply than others. Some people find it easier to relax than others. When hypnotized, an individual is very open to suggestions that can enhance positive and diminish negative physical reactions. These are autonomic nervous system responses that are involuntary, but they can be utilized to promote health. Similarly, when we think a pleasurable thought, we can experience reduced heart rate, deeper breathing, relaxation of muscles, and so on. For example, when we think a frightening thought, we can experience increased heart rate, shortness of breath, “butterflies” in the stomach, muscular rigidity, sweating, shaking, and so on. The body responds physically to thoughts. How can a treatment aimed at your mind affect your body?
Researchers also study the value of hypnosis in the treatment of physical and psychological problems. In addition to its use in clinical settings, hypnosis is used in research with the goal of learning more about the nature of hypnosis itself, as well as its impact on sensation, perception, learning, memory, and physiology. The decision to use hypnosis as a component of treatment can only be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who has been trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis. However, it may not be useful for all psychological problems or for all patients or clients. Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. For reasons that are as yet not clear, the focused state of hypnosis allows changes to intentionally be made “automatically”, changes that we could not ordinarily consciously make. With the help of a trained professional, we can develop innate, individual abilities that enable making desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors possible. When we enter into the absorbed state of hypnosis, we can use our thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually available to us. Hypnosis, called by different names in different cultures and times, has been recognized for thousands of years and used for many purposes. Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change. It’s not like what you see in the movies.Hypnosis is a natural state of selective, focused attention, and, even though it is 100% natural and normal, it remains one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human mind.
