5 Hypnosis Myths Exploded
OVER
the years, hypnosis has picked up all sorts of weird associations from
stage hypnotists, the media and superstition. This is a great shame,
because in reality, hypnosis is your single most effective tool for
change. Hypnosis is your birthright, and you should know how to use it
so it doesn't use you. Here we dispel the biggest hypnosis myths.
Hypnosis Myth 1) All
hypnosis is the same
As with anything, hypnosis can be good, bad
or indifferent. The most
common is old-style authoritarian hypnosis of the type "You are getting
sleepy, you are feeling confident". Unsurprisingly, this sort of
hypnosis doesn't work well with many people. Good hypnosis uses subtle
psychological principles and advanced communication patterns.
It's like the difference between a football
coach who thinks you'll
perform best if he yells at you, compared with the more elegant style
of a great leader who knows that to get the best from his people, he
needs to understand motivation, to cajole, encourage and reward.

Hypnosis Myth 2)
Subliminals work
Subliminals are words that you can't hear.
Common sense says they shouldn't work, and there's no research proving
that they do.
Hypnosis Myth 3) Some
people can't be hypnotized
The only reason you can't be hypnotized is
if you are incapable of
paying attention due to extremely low IQ or brain damage. That's not to
say that every hypnotist can hypnotize you however. The more flexible
the hypnotist, the more effective she will be with the largest number
of people.
Hypnosis Myth 4) Hypnosis
is something weird that other people do to you
If you couldn't go into hypnosis, you
wouldn't be able to sleep, to
learn, or get nervous through 'negative self hypnosis'. (You know when
you imagine things going wrong and it makes you feel anxious? Well
that's self hypnosis!)
Hypnosis is simply a deliberate utilization
of the REM (Rapid Eye
Movement) or dream state. We're not giving people medication
here if
it wasn't a natural ability, hypnosis wouldn't work!
Hypnosis Myth 5) You lose
control in hypnosis
Crazy news stories, stage hypnotists and
gossip have created the
illusion that you lose control in hypnosis. In fact, when hypnotized,
you are relaxed and focused – and able to choose to get up and walk
away at any time. You choose to give your attention to the hypnotist,
and you can withdraw it at any time.
