So, how can hypnosis help to resolve problems?
When we are in hypnosis we are more relaxed, both physically and mentally. When this occurs our mind operates more efficiently and effectively. An example of this is when you try to remember someone’s name Its on the tip of your tongue but you just cant get to it. After you stop trying, and maybe five minutes later, the name comes back to. The difference here is that you put your mind under tension trying to force it to remember something. However, when you stopped and thought of something else, you allowed your mind to relax and the name came to you. When mind and body are relaxed we have better access to our memories. We are the product of our memories and past experiences.
