Hypnosis conjures up visions of
mysterious men in long black capes who dangle gold watches in front of the eyes
of mesmerized subjects. There may yet be such entertainers, but the modern
hypnotherapist is likely to hold a degree in medicine, dentistry, psychology or
has had extensive training in hypnosis and became a certified hypnotherapist.
In the wake of medicine's
growing recognition of the role of psychological factors in illness; hypnosis
has become a recognized therapeutic tool in the treatment of smoke addiction,
weight control, phobias, physical pain and mental disorders.
Hypnosis is an altered state of
consciousness, which feels like something between sleeping and waking, and has
qualities of both these states. In general, hypnotized subjects find that their
body is deeply relaxed, almost in a state of sleep, while their subconscious
mind becomes very alert. This state of consciousness is what makes hypnosis an
excellent tool for unlocking buried memories, or for discovering hidden motives.
| A hypnotic state can be induced
in a number of ways. The therapist may have the patient relax and focus on a
spot until the eyes become heavy, or roll the eyes up into the head and then
shut them, or imagine that an arm feels lighter and lighter until it seems to
float in the air, or fantasize about lying on a beach. What happens next depends on
the therapist and the particular problem. One of the most promising aspects of
hypnosis is its ability to help some people live with chronic pain, such as that
caused by back ailments or cancer. While in trance, patients have learned to
escape pain by visualizing themselves in another place or imagining that the
aching is numb. |
