How can hypnotherapy help with physical and medical problems?
• Why should I choose hypnotherapy? • Shouldn’t hypnotherapy be done by a licensed psychiatrist, Ph.D or M.D.? • What if I have more questions? • What’s it like to be hypnotized? What we call hypnosis is a state of deep physical relaxation and intense mental focus. If you have ever had the experience of being so focused on doing something that you became oblivious to everything else going on around you, you have experienced this state. It’s the same state you’re in when you meditate, and it’s a state you pass through every night as you fall asleep. Hypnosis is not sleep. Many people expect, when they’re hypnotized, to fall completely asleep. In fact, in most cases in hypnotherapy you will be completely aware of everything that is going on around you. You may feel like you could get up and walk away at any moment. If you are very deeply relaxed, you may experience sensations of floating, or feeling very heavy. Everyone who experiences hypnosis finds it a pleasant, relaxing experience. •
