Hypnosis Information Line Script
Thank you for calling the Hypnosis Information line. This message has been provided to you as a public service by the Banyan Hypnosis Center. This message is approximately 10 minutes long.
Some people feel a bit uneasy when they hear the word “hypnosis.” They are concerned that hypnosis is associated with the occult, or fear that it is some kind of mind control. Or they may even think that if they were to be hypnotized that it would act as a kind of truth serum. Others have the misconception that when someone is hypnotized, that he or she would become unconscious, or vulnerable. None of that is true! And, it is the mission of the Hypnosis Information Line to educate the public about what hypnosis really is, and how it is helping thousands of people every year.
Where does all of this misinformation come from? Unfortunately, most people learn all of this from Hollywood movies meant to entertain rather than inform. Other sources of incorrect information are fantastic novels or stories told by the uninformed.
Some people have seen stage shows meant for entertainment. These performances, while entertaining, are quite different than the kind of experience one has when working with a professional hypnotherapist, who is working for you to help you be successful and making some positive change in your life.
This kind of hypnosis may be provided by a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist, working in a private practice or along side other helping professionals such as psychologists or medical practitioners.
When an individual has been guided into the hypnotic state, he or she is completely aware of what is happening and in control at all times, although this person may look like he or she is asleep. Because you are always aware of what is going on, it is not possible to give you hypnotic suggestions that you don’t like or don’t want. If you were given suggestions that you didn’t like you would simply ignore the suggestion or emerge from hypnosis. You must decide that you actually want the suggestion to work for it to be effective. This is an important fact to keep in mind should you decide to seek hypnosis services, you must want the hypnotic suggestion to work for it to be effective.
When you work with a properly trained and certified hypnotist or hypnotherapist, he or she will make sure to spend some time with you before the session to make sure that he or she understands what kind of changes you want to make, and how you would like to make them. So the suggestions you receive will be perfectly acceptable to you and will enter into your subconscious mind easily and begin working at once in most cases. Once in the subconscious mind, the suggestions will work automatically, making it easier for you to make the positive changes you want to make.
The subconscious mind is what makes up our personality and also contains our habits and beliefs. If this part of you believes that you need to smoke, then it will be very difficult to quit smoking. Or, if your subconscious mind believes that you need to overeat, then you will gain weight. This is why hypnosis can be the solution that you have been looking for. Hypnosis can have a rapid effect on these habits and beliefs. With hypnosis you can believe that you are a non-smoker from the inside out. You can believe that you can and will lose weight, so you will.
When these suggestions are accepted by the subconscious mind they begin to work instantly. If you are truly ready and want to quit smoking you become a non-smoker. And likewise, the overweight can become slim. Even fears and other issues can be handled in the same way, usually in as little as 4 to 6 sessions.
If you want to use hypnosis to make positive changes in your life, you simply need to contact a properly trained and certified hypnotherapist. Then you simply follow his or her instructions. When you are cooperative with the hypnotherapist, you will go into hypnosis easily. Then you must be receptive to the suggestions that he or she gives you while in hypnosis, that is, you must simply want them to work.
This means that if the reason that you are considering hypnosis is because you are being pressured by someone else and you are not seeing the hypnotherapist because you want to make the change, then it simply will not work. Hypnosis can only help you to make the changes that you want to make. The hypnotherapist cannot make you lose weight, stop smoking, or anything else against your will. Hypnosis is a way to empower you to make the changes that you want to make.
So think of the hypnotist as being a guide or coach. If you follow her instructions then and work as a team, then you really can make the changes that you have been wanting for so long. This relationship could also be described as a dance, with the hypnotherapist in the lead role, and you following along.
A properly trained and certified hypnotherapist can help you to make many different kinds of changes in your life. Some of the most popular uses for hypnosis include, but are not limited to, removing fears, overcoming insomnia, improving self-esteem, improving sports performance, helping clients to become more confident, and ending just about any kind of bad habit.
The hypnotherapist sometimes works as part of a team with other professionals such as counselors, psychologists and doctors to help them help you when other forms of treatment have not been successful. When working with other professionals, our work is considered to be complementary to their service. Working under the supervision of such a licensed professional, a hypnotherapist may be able to help you with more serious issues such as psychosomatic illness, intractable pain, phobias, eating disorders and phobias.
Hypnosis can help people make rapid changes regarding most of the issues and challenges of our lives. Keep in mind that hypnotherapists usually work with normal every day people with normal every day problems, and not with mental illness unless that hypnotherapist has special training and licensure to perform the duties of a psychologist, or other mental health professionals.
Hypnosis is real and has been approved by the American Medical Association, recognizing it as a valuable tool. As a matter of fact, one of the fastest growing areas in which hypnosis is being used is for pain management, and also for natural child birth, either reducing or eliminating the need for chemical anesthesia during the birthing process.
When deciding upon a hypnotist or hypnotherapist, we recommend that you consult a professional hypnotist or hypnotherapist. These are specially trained individuals who specialize in using hypnosis to help you be successful. Certainly you would not make your first choice, someone whose primary training is in a different field than hypnosis.
Such a hypnosis professional is an active member of a national professional organization and is held to a stringent code of ethics, and operates by the highest standards of practice. This way you can feel comfortable knowing that you are working with someone who will treat you professionally and confidentially.
Professional organizations which require their members to maintain these levels of professionalism include the National Guild of Hypnotists and the 5-PATH Hypnotherapists Association.
When looking for a hypnosis professional to work with, ask about his or her training and if he or she was approved by one of these organizations. If so, he or she would carry the credentials, CH, or BCH. These credentials stand for Certified Hypnotherapist and Board Certified Hypnotherapist. To obtain these certifications, one must undergo an approved training program and pass rigorous examinations, and annually be recertified by continuing to fulfill continuing education requirements.
