Understanding How Hypnosis Can Help You

It is important to get the right understanding about hypnosis before you decide to contact us to satisfy your curiosity about how it can help you in your life and career, wouldn’t you agree?

The purpose of this page is to give you that understanding of hypnosis. Or perhaps you’d prefer to contact us in order to develop that clarification via personal discussion before making your decision about exactly how hypnosis can best help you.

Whether you intend to learn about hypnosis in face-to-face sessions or prefer to take advantage of the hypnosis online opportunities we present via your Academy of Hypnosis web site, it’s important, to clarify any doubts or misconceptions and to develop a fundamental understanding of exactly what hypnosis is all about before committing to gaining the benefits of using it in your career and personal life.

Hypnosis is a word that conjures up many concepts – most of them inaccurate. Hypnosis, from a technical perspective, is nothing more than the bypassing of our faculty of critical consciousness.

Contrary to popular opinion, hypnosis is NOT a state of unconsciousness, but rather one of heightened consciousness, one in which much greater focus is achievable than usual, but also one in which our critical mind does not challenge every thought that enters our awareness.

In hypnosis, we do not lose control. In fact, modern understanding is that all hypnosis is self hypnosis. This means that when you enjoy hypnosis, you are always in control. In other words, the hypnotist is not in control, you are. The hypnotist is merely your assistant with the knowledge of how to help you to guide yourself into the hypnotic state.

Of course, there are certain types of therapy that do require the assistance of an appropriate qualified and experienced hypnotherapist. One example is regression hypnosis to deal with emotional issues from earlier in life.

If you choose to engage a professional to assist with this type of intervention, you are advised to be sure he or she has appropriate qualifications and experience which are recognised by (in Australia, for example) professional institutions such as the Australian Hypnotherapists Association or the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists.

Hypnosis is a natural state we all experience every day. Each of us goes through a state of hypnosis called ‘hypnogogia’ as we move from wakefulness to sleep at the end of each day, and another called ‘hypnopompia’ as we move from sleep to wakefulness each morning.

We experience ‘highway hypnosis’ when our conscious mind drifts to various thoughts as our subconscious mind takes care of the driving and the kilometres slip by quicker than we realise. And we slip into hypnosis when we get absorbed in a great book or a wonderful experience of nature.

In short, hypnosis is a wonderfully relaxing and rejuvenating naturally occurring state we can all learn to harness in order to improve our personal lives and careers.
