Hypnosis is a type of therapy which helps clients to attain a deep level of relaxation so that they are able to enter into the subconscious part of the mind that stores our experiences and perceptions. These then create our personalities, emotions, learned behaviors,and beliefs and tend to be highly resistant to change. With the use of hypnosis to access this part of the mind, suggestions are given that help people develop more positive beliefs, feelings, and behaviors. Over the years fictional movies, and novels have created a mystery and false belief about hypnosis that one is under the control of a hypnotist. This couldn't be further from the truth and one is in control at all times. Under hypnosis one is always conscious and able to maintain the ability to make behavioral and emotional decisions. Should you not like the hypnotic suggestion the built in protectors of your mind kick in allowing you to reject the suggestion or to even awaken from the hypnotic state on your own. Its also important to realize that hypnosis is a natural state of being and people naturally experience hypnotic states several times a day; when going to sleep, awakening from sleep, driving a car or watching a movie. Have you ever become so engrossed in a movie or TV show that you tuned out most everything around you ,and were perhaps startled when spoke or touched you? You were in a state very similar to hypnosis. Hypnosis when used appropriately is highly effective. Research has caused hypnosis to be recognized by the American Medical association, and as a clinically proven adjunct treatment for such medical conditions as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, hypertension, and pain management. The American Psychological Association has found it to be useful for anxiety and pain. Many clients have been able to benefit from hypnosis for smoking cessation, managing sadness, overcoming insomnia, and overcoming a breakup. For those clients who are willing to learn new skills and seek brief treatment via a natural approach that's relaxing and feels good, hypnosis is effective and can be taught to manage physical symptoms, and cope with psychological difficulties
