Hypnosis


It is unfortunate that most people's first encounter of hypnosis is through watching television and stage hypnotism. This can lead people to believe that they may be controlled or manipulated or made to do something 'silly'....though nothing could be further from the truth.

During hypnosis your senses, creativity, concentration and awareness are actually heightened - you will not fall asleep and indeed you can even talk quite easily whilst relaxed (and in Analytical Therapy are encouraged to do so).

It is also a commonly held belief that there are some people that 'cannot be hypnotised' but this is again inaccurate. EVERYBODY, both children and adults, can easily achieve the state of hypnosis and enjoy its benefits such as relaxation.

A good definition of hypnosis would be a 'profound state of relaxation and concentration brought about by suggestion'.

It is not possible that you could be made to do anything that you did not want to do, and you would not blurt out any of your secrets. The person under hypnosis may experience their senses more, and their memory may well be enhanced. The state of hypnosis is a most pleasant and particularly relaxing, natural phenomenon, during which a person can converse quite easily. It is inconceivable that any harm could befall you. It is something that we all go through twice a day. First thing in the morning, just as you are waking up, when you are neither awake nor asleep, you can hear all of the sounds around you, but it does not bother you one way or the other. You can make the decision to roll over and go back to sleep, or to get up. The second time is just as you go to sleep at night, when you are neither awake nor asleep. If somebody called your name you could, if you wished to, answer them, or take no notice - you are in control.


A brief history of hypnosis


Hypnosis and hypnotism in some form or other has been in use for thousands of years. There is a great deal of evidence to support the belief that Hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion was being used by the Ancient Greeks and Romans - for therapeutic benefit - as far back as about the fourth Century BC. Hypnosis, hypnotism and suggestion as we know it can be traced to the 1700's and the austrian Franz Anton Mesmer. Mesmer (hence 'mesmerism') treated many patients at his Paris clinic with the aid of suggestion and magnets, which he believed gave people healing properties.

In 1819 the Portuguese priest Abbé José Custudio di Faria discarded the use of magnets but continued to get patients to close their eyes and enter a state of relaxation or trance, noting the use of suggestion to achieve it.

In 1841 a Manchester doctor by the name of James Braid was the first person to use the term 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' to describe this kind of 'sleep state'. He named it after the Greek God Hypnos.

In the 1900's French neurologist Jean Martin Charcot and his rival Hippolyte Bernheim continued to promote the use of hypnosis and verbal suggestion for nervous ailments. In those days the practice was known as 'Suggestive Therapeutics' but is know commonly known as hypnotherapy. In the 1950's both the British and American Medical Associations officially recognised hypnosis as a valuable therapeutic tool
