Dr. F. Mesmer is considered the founder of hypnosis treatment. Today hypnosis is recognized as a legal method of human treatment. It is widely used in psychotherapy, especially in cases where traditional methods of treatment do not work well.
What is hypnosis, its types
During a hypnosis session, a person is introduced into a special type of state - a trance state. At this moment, a person's consciousness becomes very receptive and the force of influence is very effective. Hypnosis is contraindicated for people who, for whatever reason, do not want to enter a trance state.
In the fight against various phobias and fears, the method of hypnosis treatment is irreplaceable. There are two main types of hypnosis. The first is the classic (hard form) and milder form, more reminiscent of neurolinguistic programming.
Signs of a trance state
Psychophysiological signs of a trance state are:
- keeping eyes on one object or place;
- delayed swallowing and blinking reflexes;
- dilated pupils.
How exactly hypnosis helps to combat fears
A hypnotized person can remember things that are normally tightly closed in his subconscious. It is the trance state that is best suited to "fish out" from the subconscious of a person the problem situations that have occurred in his life, and then apply their analytical analysis to combat phobias and fears.
Another option is to influence a person's consciousness by instilling in him the idea that his fear is groundless or completely unrealistic. After a session of hypnosis, people, as a rule, feel a surge of strength, they may show abilities that they did not know existed.
Pros of Fear Hypnosis Treatment
Hypnosis treatment can stop or reduce the use of various drugs. This method of getting rid of fear is one of the fastest acting. Sometimes just one session is enough. The effect of exposure is long enough.
Cons of Fear Hypnosis Treatment
There is always a danger of falling into the hands of a swindler or a selfish person. You must trust the hypnotist 100%, otherwise the effect of the treatment may be zero. Accordingly, specialists who promise a quick result and at the same time cannot provide recommendations, documents confirming the experience of hypnosis treatment, most likely, are scammers.
Some helpful tips
If you are aimed at getting rid of fears, then you need to be prepared for the fact that an outsider (doctor) learns something very personal about you. You need to be prepared for this and understand that the details of your personal life regarding fear must be entrusted to a doctor for your own good. In other words, you must trust this person as a professional. But if you still fear for your safety, then it is best to go to a hypnosis session accompanied by a person you know well.
