How it Works

How does hypnotherapy work? A hypnotherapist will offer suggestions that the subconscious mind will accept. Once these suggestions are accepted and implemented, the mind begins making different choices. For example, for a patient that is trying to shed pounds, the hypnotist might suggest that food is not as appealing or tasty. As your mind accepts the suggestions given when hypnotized, you will find that next time you are presented with a food that is not good for you, your subconscious mind will tell you it is unappealing.

Types of Hypnotic Induction

How do you get into a hypnotic state? Trained professional hypnotists use several different methods to induce hypnosis. They are:

1. Fixed gaze - eye fixation
2. Imagery – progressive relaxation
3. Mental confusion
4. Mental misdirection
5. Loss of equilibrium
6. Nervous system shock
