Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Newcastle

Hypnosis is a term used quite often, but very rarely explained. Most often, it’s seen in cinemas or on television or at a stage hypnosis show in entertainment. The reality behind hypnosis, however, is far more complex. Many people think that when the phenomenon takes place that a person is asleep because they have their eyes closed. Contrary to this belief hypnosis is a perfectly natural state of mind which happens to all humans and animals many times a day. It most certainly has absolutely nothing to do with being asleep. We all know what its like when driving home and we enter the “autopilot” state of mind and we cant remember how we got home but we did so safely. We all know what its like when daydreaming and we don’t quite catch something that someone else has said and we have to ask them to repeat the question.

Hypnotherapy Near Newcastle: What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis can be defined using two key terms – “Trance” in which the subject is instructed how to enter into a completely focused state of mental concentration, and “Suggestion” where an individual becomes more open to suggestions and instructions. In the “Trance” state an individual’s attention is trained upon a focus, which can be the hypnotist’s Voice, the ever cliche swinging pocket-watch, or a simulation of nature sounds. The subject is then given a series of instructions, which are thought to assist them into entering the “Trance” state. Self hypnosis is just a “tool” that a hypnotherapist uses to bypass the analyzing thinking mind so that access to the subconscious mind can take place. When this happens clinical hypnotherapy can then be used to change unwanted habits, emotions and behaviors.

Hypnosis has also been used as an alternative, or additive, source of pain management for surgeries and other procedures. The research on hypnosis as a pain management tool has shown that individuals undergoing surgery and using hypnosis remain pain free longer than individuals using standard pain management techniques. Hypnosis is a tool with many practical applications within many different fields. It’s often thought of with distrust, or cynicism, but the research shows that it is anything but, just, a laughing matter.

Hypnotherapy Near Newcastle: What Is Suggestion?

“Suggestion” is the most commonly thought of aspect of hypnosis. Suggestions are typically used to instruct an individual to complete an action, or series of actions, or a change in thought, while within the “Trance” state. The suggested actions/results can vary widely.

 “When I do this, you will do this” trigger-response (which can take place during self hypnosis or afterward), a sensation changing suggestion (a limb tingling or feeling weightless), to a memory altering suggestion.

The most agreed upon aspect of hypnosis is that acts, the result of suggestions, carried out whilst in self hypnosis are described as involuntary. This does not imply a forced action or any form of coercion on the part of the subject, but simply a sense of the action taking place automatically, effortlessly, or naturally. It is important to note that hypnotic suggestion is not a form of mind control, and this is agreed upon by the majority of scientific sources.
