You may fear that your wellbeing is not secure when you’re hypnotised, but this state of protracted sleep can be beneficial to your wellness. Hypnotherapy is not just a trick you see on the stage, but is used extensively in medicine, research, dentistry and even psychotherapy, and it provides an alternative treatment opportunity.
Whether your goal is to lose weight, quit smoking, or to experience less pain from migraines, arthritis, burns, facial neuralgia, childbirth and musculoskeletal disorders, hypnotherapy can help. Specialists have even been known to use it in place of anaesthesia, for patients who are allergic to this drug, during operations such as thyroidectomies and certain cardiovascular operations. The same can be said of dentistry patients with an allergy to Novocaine.
Hypnotherapy can also help your mental wellness, which needs to be strong if you want to lose weight. It may be that you have a phobia that you need to overcome before your weight loss can be achieved, or you might need to improve you mental wellness in terms of removing mental blocks, improving your motivation, shedding procrastination, enhancing the decision-making process, boosting your job performance, or being able to relax and manage stressful situations.
The healing practice of hypnotherapy can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Egyptians, who considered trance-like behaviour to be spiritual possession. However, modern hypnotherapy began in 1779 and was fathered by Austrian physician Dr. Frank Mesmer, who stimulated a trance-like state he called mesmerism, to treat nervous disorders, though his treatment wasn’t approved by The British Medical Association until 1955.
But will it work for you? According to most studies, 90% of people can be hypnotised by getting them into a state of responsiveness that is different from your normal state of consciousness. This can cause several phenomena, including sharp propensity to ideas, change of memory and blushing, as well as paralysis and profuse sweating which the hypnotic state can perpetrate or remove.
Patients have also been known to complain of a stiff neck, headache, dizziness, drowsiness and confusion, but these were cleared within a short time after the hypnotherapy sitting. Consult your doctor or look online to see if hypnotherapy could help you lose weight, or improve your wellness in other ways.
