Today, Hypnotherapy is an accepted science by American Medical Association (1958) and British Medical Association (1957).
Hypnosis Can Help You!
In a study conducted by American Health Magazine, the effectiveness of psychoanalysis, behavioral therapy, and hypnosis was compared. It was found that:
-
Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery rate after only 6 sessions
-
Behavioral therapy: 72% recovery rate after 22 sessions
-
Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery rate after 600 sessions
In 1955, the British Medical Association issued a report stating that it approved of the use of hypnosis as a valuable medical tool. It was also suggested that all physicians and medical students receive fundamental training in its usage. In 1962 the American Psychiatric Association recognized that hypnosis was a viable modality in the realm of psychology.
One can’t hypnotize any one against their will. Hypnosis is a simple way to train your mind using your own intentions to work on whatever it is you want to change in your life. Hypnosis or 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 on specific thoughts or tasks
Hypnotherapy offers a rapid and effective pathway to personal change and growth. Through the use of trance states, together with specific protocols, anyone can quickly realize the roots of behaviors and feelings. Simply put, hypnosis is a very relaxed state where your mind is focused and very receptive to suggestions that allow you to achieve positive and lasting transformation.
As with all techniques focused on personal growth, hypnotherapy is a process, as short- or long-term as you want to invest. Hypnotherapy isn’t a magic bullet that brings about large-scale changes overnight. It is an investment in your development, and your practitioner is merely facilitating the process. You have all of the answers inside you; hypnotherapy helps you to uncover them.
