Hypnotist And Group Therapy

The common uses of group hypnosis for group therapy has indeed broadened it’s scope in the field of science, more specifically in treatment and therapy programs.

The most common reason for many people undergoing group hypnosis for therapy is the fact that hypnotherapy is a very natural process which does not involve the administration of habit-inducing drugs, thus , no chemical side effects and is somewhat inexpensive.

Among the most reputable successes of hypnotherapy is with alcoholism.

Many patients have significantly broken off the habit from alcohol and those who undergo hypnosis therapy are more likely to have successfully passed through the addiction stage and tests have concluded, based on follow up programs, that subjects are able to sustain the effects of the therapy sessions for two to three years.

Other behavioral problems that hypnosis has been found therapeutically beneficial is on appetite control or weight loss, where subjects who undergo treatment are twice as likely to lose weight compared to those taking weight loss and diet programs.

Better yet, where subjects usually lose momentum into their weight loss program, subjects that have undergone hypnotherapy were able to significantly lose more pounds over an extended period of time.

Hypnosis has also been known to successfully treat younger patients who used to suffer from regular bedwetting and nail-biting.

Although these two conditions are not regarded as health problems, but can sometimes be very annoying and troublesome.

Several tests regarding the treatment of these conditions have significantly produced positive results on the subjects and have freed them from the habit of nail-biting and bed wetting.

Smokers also stand to benefit most from hypnosis, as numerous researches and findings indicate that a significant number of population of smokers have significantly broken off the smoking habit after several hypnosis intervention sessions.

Another proven therapy process that have successfully gained good headway is the therapy involving patients with asthma, where success rates are more than half of the population tested for their responses to hypnosis therapy.

An average of 80% of patients, both young and old alike, have sustained the momentum of their hypnotherapy treatment and several researches who studies the progression of the effects of hypnosis, revealed that during the eighth, sixteenth and 24-month follow-up observation period, these patients have consistently maintained abstinence from smoking.

Hypnosis has also been used to treat insomnia, migraine headaches, anxiety, depression, phobias, pain management and a whole lot more.

Not only is it used for treatment, hypnosis is also being adopted for wellness and health programs like relaxation and stress reduction, increased concentration, building self-confidence, concentration for sports activities, especially among athletes and personal improvement programs.

The possibilities are endless, but still, there are many people who fail to achieve their goals through hypnosis, not because the process is ineffective for them, but because of frustration and disappointment over hypnosis not being able to immediately produce the results after one session.

Another would be the fear of the unexpected, since many people still have the tendency to establish their won fear knowing that their minds are being explored through hypnosis.

Still, it would be best to assume that these can all be allayed with the proper understanding and knowledge of hypnosis and the common uses of hypnosis for group therapy will continue to benefit thousands of people all over the world.

What is Hypnotherapy and Who is Hypnotherapist?

What is Hypnotherapy and Who is Hypnotherapist?
Well being will be achieved more through the Mind than the Brain.

Who is a Hypnotherapist?

In 1973, Dr. John Kappas, Founder of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, wrote and defined the profession of a hypnotherapist in the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles:

“Induces hypnotic state in client to increase motivation or alter behavior patterns: Consults with client to determine nature of problem. Prepares client to enter hypnotic state by explaining how hypnosis works and what client will experience. Tests subject to determine degree of physical and emotional suggestibility. Induces hypnotic state in client, using individualized methods and techniques of hypnosis based on interpretation of test results and analysis of client’s problem. May train client in self-hypnosis conditioning.”

US Definition of hypnotherapist

The U.S. (Department of Labor) Directory of Occupational Titles (D.O.T. 079.157.010) supplies the following definition:

“Hypnotherapist – Induces hypnotic state in client to increase motivation or alter behavior pattern through hypnosis. Consults with client to determine the nature of problem. Prepares client to enter hypnotic states by explaining how hypnosis works and what client will experience. Tests subject to determine degrees of physical and emotional suggestibility. Induces hypnotic state in client using individualized methods and techniques of hypnosis based on interpretation of test results and analysis of client’s problem. May train client in self-hypnosis conditioning.

Hypnotherapy is a therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis.

The word “hypnosis” (from the Greek hypnos, “sleep”) is an abbreviation of James Braid‘s (1841) term “neuro-hypnotism”, meaning “sleep of the nervous system”.

A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably hyper-suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a technique that uses the hypnotic state, which enables changes in perception and memory, a major increase in response to suggestion, and the potential for controlling many physiologic functions that are usually involuntary. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The person’s attention is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. In this naturally occurring state, a person may focus his or her attention—with the help of a trained therapist—on specific thoughts or tasks.

How does hypnotherapy work?

Hypnotherapy is usually considered an aid to psychotherapy (counseling), rather than a treatment in itself. It helps with psychotherapy because the hypnotic state allows people to explore painful thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. Hypnosis enables people to perceive some things differently, such as blocking an awareness of pain.

Hypnotherapy can be used in two ways:

• Suggestion therapy — The hypnotic state makes the person better able to respond to suggestions. Hypnotherapy can help some people change certain behaviors, such as to stop smoking or stop nail-biting. It can also help people change perceptions and sensations, and is particularly useful in treating pain.
• Analysis — This approach uses the relaxed state to find the root cause of a disorder or symptom, such as a traumatic past event that a person has hidden in his or her unconscious memory. Once the trauma is revealed, it can be addressed in psychotherapy.

What are the benefits of hypnotherapy?

The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to discussion and suggestion.

It can improve the success of other treatments for many conditions, including:

• Phobias, fears, and anxiety
• Sleep disorders
• Depression
• Stress
• Post-trauma anxiety
• Grief and loss

It also might be used to help with pain control and to overcome habits, such as smoking or overeating. It also might be helpful for people whose symptoms are severe or who need crisis management.

Myths of Hypnosis For Childern

Hypnosis for children is done to help children combat cases of pain, insomnia, depression brought about by divorce or death. It can also be used to fight excessive weight, night mares and even lessen asthma attacks. There are significant advantages or contributions that hypnosis can do for children.

Unfortunately, amidst all these gains and benefits, there are still some people who believe in hypnotic myths. The following are some of the myths on hypnosis and what we can say about them.

Myth1. The person under hypnosis has no control over his mind and actions.

Hypnosis is induced in a tie when the person is still conscious and able to take and understand suggestions. Children who are undergoing hypnotherapy can comprehensively talk with the hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is done when the person is in deep relaxation and not in deep slumber. Things are said as a suggestion and not as an authoritative command. People who have undergone hypnosis would definitely remember what transpired during the session.

Myth2. Hypnosis is an evil act. It can be compared to voodoo in some levels.

Hypnosis is not at all connected to any evil or Satanic acts. Hypnotism intends to help people of their emotional, mental and physical problems not injure them with any satanic and demonic ritual. Actually, hypnosis is a natural state that people undergo in different times a day.

Myth3. Hypnosis only affects those who are weak in personality.

Hypnosis is something which happens naturally to our lives. Actually, children ages 7 to 8 are said to be more prone to lapse into hypnotic stages. Their mind is more creative and more imaginative. This enables them to enter into a daydream or deep relaxation even during class or any time of the day. Anybody can induce into a moment of self-hypnotic state.

Myth4. You can get stuck in a hypnotic state.

Hypnosis is not a limbo where souls get stuck and unable to go to the next realm. Hypnosis is a state of awareness and consciousness. Getting into the hypnotic state enables the children and adults, as well, to get to know their deeper feelings and thoughts.

Myth5. Hypnosis can be used as a truth serum, extracting the truth from other people.

A person could not go into hypnotic state if that person would not allow the hypnotherapist to. Before children undergo any hypnotism, therapist would talk to them and explain what it is that they would do and how it would help them. Upon hypnotism, if a suggestion is in contrast with the principles of the client, they would not accept the suggestion. So if the person being investigated would not give the answer to the question, then hypnosis could not do anything about it.

Myth6. Hypnosis is not accepted by the medical community.

The British Medical Association accepted hypnotism as a treatment in 1955, while the American Medical Association endorsed it in 1958. The National Institute of Health endorsed hypnotherapy as one of the methods to relieve pain to cancer patients in 1995.

Myth7. Hypnosis therapy results are not as good as the other traditional therapies.

According to American Health Magazine published in August 2006, 36 percent of patients who go to psychoanalysis would experience results after 600 sessions. Behaviour therapy would show 72 percent recovery rate after 22 sessions. Hypnotherapy showed 93 percent of recovery after just 6 sessions.

These numerous myths smear how people regard hypnotherapy and how safe it is to hypnosis to children. But what is important to know is the truth behind all myths.

The Hypnotic Way To Health

Hypnosis was once relegated to the realms of entertainment, with stage hypnotists performing to a drunken audience in night-clubs and pubs. Later it developed into a massive money-spinner for TV celebrities such as Paul McKenna. Hypnotherapy made many people wealthy with self improvement hypnosis tapes and videos. Now, however, hypnosis is regarded as a powerful medical tool by the medical establishment!Clinical Hypnosis techniques are being increasingly and successfully employed by medical practitioners to treat a diverse amount of symptoms. They target the symptoms of diseases and illnesses such as eczema, asthma, arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, cystic fibrosis, warts, snoring, migraines and even chest pain. It has been used to relieve pain and eliminate the need for medication in dental work and to create an optimum pain-free state during childbirth. It has also been used prior to, and after, medical procedures that require surgery and to alleviate anxiety and stress. In France hypnotherapists have successfully used hypnosis to lower blood pressure. In America it was found that 50% of smokers who used hypnotherapy to quit did not return to the habit. As far as smoking goes, this is a huge statistic! Although hypnosis is a mind altering technique that spans thousands of years and has been used throughout that time to treat many diverse illness and conditions it disappeared from public consciousness until relatively recently. As was already mentioned its return was in the form of entertainment. Hollywood certainly had a role to play in this within this and the last century. Unfortunately, Hollywood hasn’t portrayed hypnotists as being that ethical or helpful. Most have a criminal mind-set and hypnosis itself, in the film industry, tends to be used for selfish, governmental or even evil purposes. Real hypnosis is a far cry from anything Hollywood has offered us. However, exactly how it works no-one knows. At its simplest explanation hypnosis can be called a form of mental and physical relaxation but anyone who has experienced a hypnotic state or practised hypnosis on another knows there is a lot more to it than that! Old memories, long forgotten, can be evoked from the mind. Emotional upsets can be released. Physical pain can be controlled and eliminated. Some physical symptoms can be completely eradicated and some can be induced. In addition to these astonishing uses, post hypnotic suggestions can also be given that can cause life-altering behavioural changes (but only when the subject is willing!). In order to gain the full benefits of using hypnosis you must move past the Hollywood myths, stereotypes and common misconceptions about all forms of hypnosis and what you think it can and can’t do. Hypnotherapy has a reported 50-60% success rate for quitting smoking. It would probably be much higher if the subjects took a 6 week course. Hypnotherapy is now being used in a number of ways in dentistry. It is used instead of a local or general anaesthetic during filings and teeth extractions. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people suffer from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) as it is probably the most common of the sever gastrointestinal disorders. The main symptoms of this disorder include severe abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhoea and/or constipation. The colon of the sufferer stops working but the reason for this is not known. Current medical treatment for IBS has an extremely limited effectiveness for most people and just doesn’t work at all for many. This is perhaps why so many sufferers turn to alternative therapies for treatment and why hypnotherapists have developed such effective treatments. Hypnosis has a very high success rate at eliminating the symptoms of IBS. In Manchester, England, NHS (National Health Service) studies have been conducted into reducing chest pain in patients who had angina with an 80% success rate. In the USA Harvard medical research teams discovered that surgical wounds healed at a much faster rate when hypnotherapy was employed. They found that people with broken bones healed up to three weeks faster than those who received no hypnosis. In the case of surgical wounds they found that hypnosis not only increased recovery time but also reduced pain, inflammation and scarring! To list all the uses and successes of clinical hypnosis would take a book. I therefore leave with food for thought. If hypnosis can help heal bones quicker and reduce scarring what else can it do?

Benefits of Hypnosis For Children

Hypnosis for children are starting to get attention nowadays since it is giving and showing results in helping children deal with problems, illnesses and other conditions. Hypnosis is getting recognized as a treatment. It is getting attention from pediatricians who are not even using this practice or method

Some benefits of hypnotherapy would include treatment of anxiety, fears and phobias, reducing pain and stress, self confidence building, alleviating depression, addressing loss of weight, putting stop into smoking and even enhance performance whether in athletics or academics.

Hypnosis makes use of the deep relaxation as its element. Deep relaxation enables the mind to be more receptive of changes since the mind opens up during this time. This period of deep relaxation is not a sleeping nor an awake period of time. This is induced by a person skilful in therapy and hypnosis. The mind is awake during this time, unlike what myths say, that the mind during this period is completely unconscious.

Unlike what most people and doubters say that a hypnotized person is unable to control their own actions, children have the command on their own action. Receptivity is important. You cannot hypnotize a person who does not want to be hypnotized.

This is the same for hypnotism for children. Even if the parents like to have the children undergo hypnotherapy, it is important to make sure that the children understand this process and able to get their full attention and cooperation. Although the mind is open during the period of hypnosis, the subconscious would still not accept the suggestion if it conflicts with the person’s values and beliefs.

Since hypnotherapy invokes deep relaxation, it is said to reduce blood pressure, stress, anxiety, and pain. It could even change habits like smoking, alcohol consumption and eating too much.

Hypnosis can even be used in eliminating phobias. It can even help in reducing predetermined nausea and vomiting brought by treatment for cancer or pregnancy. It is important to remember that children or people who have mental illnesses should not undergo hypnotism

Hypnotherapy for children can resolve problems like bedwetting in children or teenagers. It can also reduce nightmares and night terrors. It also addresses fear or phobia of animals or even school. It also helps children who are having difficulties at school and with behavioural problems.

Results showed that children who took hypnotherapy are more confident, they have an increased self-esteem, reduced stress, tension and anxiety. Children are also able to get rid any of their negative emotions which affect their school performance or social interaction.

Being a good parent does not only mean that we should provide the physical and material needs of our children. Giving them emotional and mental support and be able to provide the best possible future to our children is our responsibility.

Hypnotherapy is an alternative medication. And alternative medicine is being used by almost 40 percent of Americans nowadays. Alternative medication can render very successful results, sometimes much better than taking prescribed drugs and medicines.

Hypnotherapy or hypnosis for children is an option which you can try to help your children face their problems. There are people testifying on its phenomenal results, but also there are critics saying that there are not enough evidences showing significant results. But surely, something drug-free, calming and enjoyable is something worthwhile to be used for the children.

Hypnosis For Self-Improvement

We all have responsibilities and obligations to accomplish in life. Sometimes life gets us down when demands and obstacles get in our way. Most of the time, it seems as though life is about other people. We often wonder how much of our life is truly your own? When life gets you down, you have to take a step back to look over the areas that cause you stress. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if you were doing what your loved? Perhaps you can acquire assertive skills. Do you need to build your self-esteem? Do you hang around positive influences? Do you live to produce new ideas that help you to improve your personal life? Do you develop great relationships?

If you have issues or problems with improving your life, perhaps you can visit a therapist or hypnotherapies. These questions all lead up to improving personal life. For this reason, if you need help you may want to seek advice of professionals. A therapist can help you deal with the problems you may have. Some of us have hidden keys that lead us to success. Inside the hidden messages are keys that open the door that helps one to deal with life changes and challenges, which ordinarily discourages one from taking the right course in life.

How does hypnotherapy work?
Hypnotherapy assists one with dealing with many life discouragements by helping us to find the hidden notes the mind. Inside the mind, you have many natural elements that help you to lose weight, quite smoking, manage pain, etc. You have the ability to build self-esteem, confidence, etc as well as counseling yourself to live happier. Hypnotherapy will also help you grow in your personal relationships. The therapeutic method will help you to balance and to live one day at a time.

Hypnotherapy is a formula used to put people in trance-like states. The person is sort of sleeping. In some instances, a patient may be highly aware. It depends on the person. The therapeutic tactic is designed to bring you to relaxation whilst altering the conscious mind. We all have the ability to induce hypnotherapy. We can do this through meditation. When we meditate, we go into a deep focused state of mind, which usually takes us to responsive ideas or images. We can learn to control the mind, yet when a hypnotherapy process takes place, only the person has the right to control his/her mind. Hypnotherapy is designed to teach one how to master his/her state of mind, including awareness. The goal is to build faith, as well as a good attitude toward life.

Each time something happens to us, we develop a different attitude or behavior. Each time this occurs, our emotional responds and physical attaches to the memory. This memory is often repeated. Sometimes we develop unhealthy and inappropriate behaviors and attitudes when something happens to us. We develop bad habits that hold us back. A therapist can work with you to re-direct your way of thinking, actions, etc to start thinking positive. You will acquire healthier ways to handle problems. During the trance, you will feel relaxed. You will also feel awaken to new ideas. As you mind wakens, you will be willing to participate in new and healthier ideas. Before you participate in hypnosis however, make sure that you consult with a qualified doctor and psychiatrist.

Hypnosis can intensify some symptoms, especially when inappropriate diagnoses are made. If you have mental complications, such as Multiple Personality Disorder, (MPD), currently noted as Disassociate Identity Disorder, (DID), then I recommend you avoid hypnosis. These people self-induce trance-like states and it could cause serious complications if you allow someone unqualified to hypnotize you.

Hypnotherapy To Quit Smoking Helps Your Pets Too

Are you a smoker? Need an incentive to stop smoking? Have you got pets?
Then that much loved pet is your incentive to renounce smoking and Hypnotherapy can help!

Researchers have revealed that pets are affected by passive smoking or in other words second-hand smoke.

Cats exposed to cigarette smoke are more likely to have feline lymphoma than those that live in healthier environment. The risk keeps on increasing with the time of exposure. With multiple smokers in the house the rate grows even more; up to four fold if two smokers are present.

There are 60% chances of canines residing in a smoking home developing lung cancer.

staying with smokers predisposes long nosed canines like Greyhounds to twice as much risk of developing nose cancer.

All types and kinds of pets are influenced irrespective of their size and age. However, the very young, the very small and the very old are more prone to the harmful effects of second-hand smoke.

Passive smoking contributes to a lot of pet conditions as when the smoker expires; the air is filled with injurious smoke.

Cigarette smoke can have a deleterious effect on the blood vessels in the eyes leading to irritation.

Smoke can harm the sensitive lungs in a pet. In addition, the harmful fumes can trigger a cold that can cause other grave, life-threatening conditions in your pet.

Because animals have a brief esophagus than man smoke inhalation promptly irritates the pet’s throat.

A cat’s hair constantly gathers huge amounts of smoke particles just like rugs, furniture and clothes. The cat sniffs these concentrated particles from his fur and skin while grooming which triggers lymphoma in the nasal cavities and gut in addition to the chest.

Pets can be allergic to smoke too.

The stench of cigarette smoke is extremely offensive to pets more so for they have a sharp sense of smell.

Allergic conditions like asthma, bronchitis etc can be aggravated by inhaling second hand smoke.

So even though you may be unsure about calling a Hypnotherapist to help you stop smoking, you should seriously consider Hypnotherapy the next time you smoke, because think of the poison you are forcing into your adorable best friend.

How Hypnosis Works?

Mind over matter’ – this is hypnotherapy in a nutshell. Employing hypnosis to treat an illness began in ancient Egypt and India where music and religion were used to induce trance. In modern times, when people began to look outside the pail of conventional medicine for solutions, the use of the mind for treatment became a powerful procedure in itself.

The most simplistic form of hypnotherapy is seen in the common placebo effects.

Placebos lull patients into a false belief that they are taking powerful drugs while they are actually taking dummy medications.Surprisingly however, patients get well just because their minds convince them that the medicine will work.

Practitioners of hypnotherapy believe that when patients enter the hypnotic trance, their subconscious mind is more receptive to positive suggestions. These positive suggestions in turn help to cure the patients.

Hypnosis has been defined as an altered state of consciousness where the mind is fully alert but chooses not to react. In normal human beings the sub conscious mind is normally out of reach. All our negative and positive emotions are stored religiously in the subconscious mind. We neither know what is happening there nor can we control it; which is ironic because it is the subconscious mind that controls more than 70% of our actions. The conscious mind always acts as a translucent window that separates us from the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy allows a doctor to gain access to the powerful subconscious mind. The doctor then proceeds to uncover the mysteries and putrefying secrets that lie at the root of the problem. The first part of treatment deals with uncovering and unraveling the cause behind the problem.

Once the cause is known the second part of the treatment starts. The doctor places certain positive suggestions that work continuously in the sub conscious mind of the patient. These suggestions enable patients to overcome their will and scale heights they previously believed were impossible.

As Hypnosis deals with the mind, hypnotherapy is usually used to cure maladies that are brought on by some weaknesses of the mind, like obesity, addiction, anorexia, smoking, anxiety, stress, phobias and amnesia. Disorders like the Irritable Bowel Syndrome, sleep apnea and even cancer have been known to get better under the influence of hypnotherapy. This is the power of positive suggestion at its best.

The amazing success of hypnotherapy in curing people of addiction, stress and phobia shows just how effective and quick the results of hypnosis can be. “The therapeutic effects of 8 years of persistent meditation can be gained from just three sessions of hypnotherapy”, says Dr. Spinovsky, the director of a US-based Hypnosis institute.

While hypnotherapy is effective and quick, the time taken to affect a cure really depends on the readiness of the patient. Contrary to what most people believe, the mind under hypnosis is still alert and very much in control. Unless the patient is willing to accept a change or let go of harmful and regressive thoughts, the doctor is helpless. Undoubtedly, the mind has the power to heal the body and when the mind is willing to cooperate, the body is able to heal itself.
