(MENAFNEditorial) February 2 2016– Hypnosis and hypnotherapy has their share of myths a few of which licensed hypnotherapist Jane Fielder reveals as false. Read on to learn more.
You''re captivated or somehow in a zone lost in your train of thought or just hyper-relaxed because of meditating. These moments are quite close to how a hypnotic trance feels particularly with meditating since the goal is practically the same.
A single hypnotherapy Adelaide session goes further than relaxation Adelaide-based consultant Jane Fielder shares. Hypnotherapy aims to improve not just mental health but your overall health she adds.
However there are some common misconceptions about the method that may lead some to think negatively about it. Here are some of the most common myths.
Myth no. 1: Hypnosis is a party trick by magicians.
You may have encountered hypnosis before but likely those were times when it wasn’t done inside a clinic. Magicians and stage performers use hypnosis as part of their “acts” - showcases made for amusement.
However the practice of medical hypnosis can be traced back to thousands of years ago when it was utilized for pain management. Today physicians and hypnotherapists use it to help patients suffering from the following symptoms:
*Depression
*Phobias
*Smoking Cessation
*Weight Loss
*Stress Management
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
In addition there are hospitals that use this treatment to help patients reduce the pain they feel before during and after surgery.
Myth no. 2: You''re defenseless during a hypnosis session
Although you may be comfortably sitting or supine with your body completely still and eyes closed you''re still conscious while therapy is in session. You''re completely aware of what''s happening around your surroundings when you''re in a hypnotherapy session.
Of course all of us humans don''t have the same responses. There are some who can completely recall everything that''s happened the entire course of the session. Then there are others who are completely clueless or their memories are a blur.
Overall though your subconscious has taken note of what happened during the session says Fielder. This is how you subconsciously begin to take action depending on the suggestions the hypnotherapist had given you.
Myth no. 3: Hypnosis frees you from your ailments
A common misconception about hypnotherapy is that it''s like a magic bullet that eliminates all of your ailments. However hypnosis may work for some but is ineffective for others.
Oftentimes hypnosis can best be partnered with other regimes - say undergoing therapy as well when depressed. Or when the goal is weight loss pairing hypnotherapy with eating a balanced diet and exercise.
In addition there are times that the session works after a single round; other times it takes multiple sessions for the treatment to kick in. Fielder assures her clients however that they will see positive change. She emphasizes attending the sessions of one''s own free will as being the catalyst for said change.
All in all these hypnotherapy myths have no basis in fact; hypnotherapy still has medical benefits people can enjoy. So it''s time to stop listening to myths and start really consulting an expert on the real effects of the treatment.
