1:
Hypnosis is witchcraft or magic
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.
2:
Hypnosis can be Dangerous
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.
3:
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.
4: 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.
5:
Hypnosis only works on certain people
About 9%
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. 95% of the subjects using hypnosis as a therapy
have achieved positive progress and success.
