1:
Hypnosis Myth : I could get stuck in a trance
forever Maybe
the trance is so pleasurable that you don't respond to the
order to wake up, in this unusual case, what will happen is
that you fall asleep for 30 mins or a couple of hours and
wake up normally. 2:
Hypnosis Myth : Self Hypnosis will only work on certain
people While
each person responds to different stimuli and suggestions.
About 10% of the population can reach a very deep trance,
while another 5% cannot be hypnotized because of mental
disability. It's very difficult to hypnotize children. Most
adults can achieve a state of trance, some very deep while
others are medium, and this is perfectly adequate for making
positive changes. A study done by American Health Magazine
on Psychoanalysis, Behavior Therapy, and Hypnosis as
treatments for mental health issues reported the following
results: Psychoanalysis = 38% recovery after 600 sessions,
Behavior Therapy = 73% recovery after 22 sessions, Hypnosis
= 93% after 6 sessions. About
10% of the population can reach a deep trance, while 5% of
the population cannot reach a trance because of certain
factors such as being too young, or having a mental
disorder. Most adults can achieve a state of trance, some
very deep while others are medium, and this is perfect for
making positive changes. 3:
Hypnosis Myth : I'm too logical and dominant to get
hypnotized Contrary
to the popular belief logical dominant men can be easily
hypnotized. Some people like to think that they are in
control of everything, and that no man could "put them
under" or take control of their thoughts and decisions, but
this is not the case. The hypnotist never takes over your
thoughts, cannot force an order on you, cannot make anyone
do anything against their will, the hypnotist only gives
suggestions, and you may carry out these suggestions only if
you are willing. Secondly normally people who are always in
control, those that like to be independent and strong
minded, usually fall into a deep trance quite quickly,
especially if the hypnotist is using the confusion method.
This technique will confuse and bore the left hemisphere of
the brain and let the right-side take over, leading them
into a trance. 4:
Hypnosis Myth : Hypnosis is magic or
occult Most
Hollywood movies and fiction books are seldom based upon
fact. Hypnosis is actually a perfectly natural state of mind
which most of us pass in and out of many times each day such
as daydreaming. Hypnosis has nothing to do with the occult
or magic power. Hypnosis is an excellent tool for therapy
and should be respected, unfortunately Hollywood movies have
discovered a way to dramatize and to scandalize this
excellent method. Stage hypnotism has also turned this
amazing science into a ridiculous circus show. Hypnosis has
nothing to do with magic or the occult, and is used in
hospitals, clinics, and dentists in many
countries. 5:
Hypnosis Myth : Hypnosis is Dangerous Hypnosis
is not dangerous because you are always allowed to agree or
disagree with the hypnotists suggestions. The deep
relaxation during a trance state is very healthy. Paul C.
Joy has designed audio programs that help you to breathe
correctly, which will be used later on in life, maybe during
stressful situations. Your subconscious mind is not totally
dominated and you always have your own free will. You are
more relaxed and so more open to suggestions, not orders or
commands. You are guided into doing something which you know
is correct or fun, and you are always willing to carry out.
The moment that you think that the hypnotist or a certain
affirmation is wrong or not to your taste then you simply
wake up out of the trance. 6:
Nobody can hypnotize me, I'm too strong
minded It is
certainly difficult to hypnotize someone who does not want
to be hypnotized, but on the other hand why would he or she
even bother going to see a hypnotherapist or to buy a
self-hypnosis Cd. If one wants to enter a trance then it
will be done, it just takes a bit of practice depending on
each personality. More often than not, a strong minded man
will enter a medium trance quite fast because his
subconscious mind is urging for this sweet relaxation and
total peace. 7:
What if I never wake up It has
been known, but very rarely that the trance state is so
pleasurable that the subject does not respond to the words
"wake up" and or refuses to wake up. In this case the person
will simply sleep it off for an hour or two and then wake up
normally.
