Hypnosis - Definition
There
are many and varied definitions of 'Hypnosis'
or the 'trance state', but basically it is a mental state that
is different from the one normally experienced. It is a state
where attention is turned inwards and in which conscious awareness
of the 'real' world changes. It is in this state, with the conscious
awareness distracted, that the protective barriers around the
unconscious mind weaken and allow the deeper levels of the mind
to be accessed and motivated to change in a way that seems to
the subject perfectly natural.
Hypnosis
is a natural phenomenon and, as such, the trance state is
familiar to most people, even if it does not exactly match
their preconceptions of what hypnosis is or should be.
In
everyday life people only gain true experience by doing things,
and then retaining memories of the actual experience. Thus,
we all learn by experiencing. We recall the original event
by remembering how we experienced it with our senses. The
Hypnotherapist is an expert in communication at all levels,
who uses his/her skills to help the client recall or create
a specific sensory experience (how we remember) and to use
this to maximum advantage. This process requires active participation
by the client. In this sense all Hypnosis is Self Hypnosis
Why
Learn Hypnosis?
Traditional Hypnosis, where the Hypnotist assumes an authoritarian
stance and dominates the subject, has limited use outside
the field of entertainment.
Contemporary
Hypnosis however is more permissive and allows the subjects
more choice in the way they accept suggestions that the Hypnotist
makes.
Using this contemporary model, with its roots in the work
of Dr Milton H Erickson MD, you can use the power of the mind
to create lasting changes in attitudes, behaviour and beliefs.
It
can be used to create the strength to resist certain physical
illnesses and to hasten recovery from sickness.
Learning
Hypnosis is a true voyage of self discovery. But be warned,
for the learning to have lasting value it must be learning
by experience. And for the learning to remain effective it
must be used regularly. NATCOM hypnosis training courses provide
the opportunity for you to learn, but it is up to you to put
this learning into practice.
FAQs
Q. What does it feel like to be in a hypnotic trance?
A. Well, you can ask twenty good hypnotic
subjects what they experience in trance and you will probably
get eighteen different answers! Everyone has to experience
it for themselves in their own way. However, most people experience
it as if they are daydreaming. Not asleep, not awake.
Q.
Does the Hypnotist control the subject totally?
A. In as much as the subject allows him/herself
to go into a trance, the Hypnotist is controlling the subject's
thoughts and actions.
Q.
Is Hypnosis dangerous?
A. If used unethically or inexpertly, yes
it can be dangerous. That is why it is necessary to learn
from a trainer who is also an experienced practitioner with
years of practical experience.
Q.
Do I have to belong to a professional association after I
have qualified?
A. If you intend to enter practice as a practitioner
we strongly advise you to belong to a professional organization
where you can rely on continuing support and help. The reasons
are threefold. One, to present a professional image to the
public, two, your clients can be assured that they are protected
from the ministrations of untrained operators, and three,
to protect yourself.
Q.
What happens if the subject resists the suggestions made by
the Hypnotist?
A. The human mind is extremely skilled at
finding reasons to overcome or ignore direct commands. Anyone
who was once a child will readily understand this. The results
of direct commands are very rarely long term. 'Ericksonian'
Hypnosis as taught by NATCOM utilises more subtle forms of
suggestion to avoid this pitfall. Its object is to integrate
changes into the subject's lifestyle in a way that is completely
natural. The subject can then take full responsibility for
these changes.
Q.
Can I stop someone from smoking using Hypnosis?
A. As a qualified Practitioner you will be
able to use Hypnotherapy to stop smoking. However your success
will depend on the subject’s desire to stop. In that
sense you assist them to stop smoking. You do not make them.
The Advanced Hypnosis course also covers authoritarian traditional
style hypnosis to ensure that Master Practitioners have the
skills necessary to cover all possibilities of client response.
Q.
Can I get rid of fear and phobia?
A. Yes you can, but because fear and phobia
are generally so deeply engrained it will usually be more
effective if you combine Hypnotherapy with NLP in this case.
Q.
How effective is weight loss hypnosis?
A. Weight loss hypnosis is very successful
but it does not make people lose weight . It helps them change
their attitudes towards food and eating. So the subject’s
desire to change is all important. It also changes their beliefs
relating to food, safety and comfort as it relates to food.
Q.
Is Hypnosis appropriate for building self confidence?
A. Yes. You can use Self Hypnosis to build
your own confidence, and as a Practitioner you can help your
subjects become good at building self confidence for themselves.
