Answers
1. How can hypnotherapy help me?
Hypnotherapy can help you overcome anxieties, fears, and phobias. You can move away from negative habits, unrewarding jobs, and unfulfilling relationships. You can lessen or remove pain. You can heal sadness, anger, and stress. You can improve and enhance performance skills. Hypnotherapy assists you to direct your life toward health, wealth, happiness, and inner peace.
2. What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy involves counseling with hypnosis. You communicate with the deepest layers of your personality to create new and more powerful ways to solve problems, overcome fears and limitations, and make lasting changes in your life.
3. What is a hypnotherapy session like?
At Balanced Energies, Iah Ka will interview you to get insight into why you have come. Then while you relax in a recliner, she will guide you on an inner journey to experience what you want changed and offers positive suggestions to your subconscious mind specifically geared to reach your desired goal. Your subconscious mind can then transmit these thoughts and images throughout your mind and body, setting the healing process in motion. The overall hypnotherapy session may last two hours.
4. What is hypnosis?
It is simply a relaxed, focused state of concentration. It refers to the power that words and ideas have when we surround these words and ideas with our complete attention. Hypnosis allows the subconscious mind to readily accept ideas without resistance to create positive changes in our attitude and behavior.
5. How does hypnosis work?
Our subconscious mind automatically controls our bodily functions: breathing, heart beating, eyes blinking, and organs functioning. The subconscious mind contains every belief, thought, word, and experience you have ever had. Just like a computer operates only its programming, so does your subconscious mind. Just like a computer can get reprogrammed, through hypnosis your subconscious mind can get reprogrammed.
6. What does getting hypnotized feel like?
A daydream and a hypnotic state are the same process. In a daydream, you are aware of where you are and what you are doing, but at the same time you are very absorbed in the experience and sensations of your thoughts, ideas, and images of that daydream. Watching a movie, driving home on autopilot, practicing meditation or other relaxation techniques are other examples of this natural state of mind.
7. I have seen hypnotists on TV. Will you be able to control me that way?
The answer is NO. Most often what occurs in stage hypnosis is very distorted or misleading. A common misconception is that the hypnotized person is under someone else's control. You are always in control. At any time, you can stop the hypnotic state, just as we do with a daydream.
8. Can I get hypnotized?
A large part of the population goes into hypnosis very easily, while a small percentage show great resistance (usually around the issue of feeling controlled) and the hypnotherapist may need to help such people to get them out of their own way.
9. Must I believe in hypnosis for it to work?
No. Hypnosis is not faith healing. Hypnosis is based on scientific principles which work whether we believe in them or not. In 1958 the AMA (American Medical Association) recognized hypnosis as a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of medical and behavioral problems.
10. How is hypnosis different from meditation or relaxation?
Hypnosis is like meditation as a process for achieving a creative and peaceful state of mind. The difference is that in meditation that state of mind is the goal; and in hypnosis the emphasis is on actively using that state of mind to achieve the goals of the hypnotherapist’s words, thoughts, and ideas.
