NO. This is discussed during the initial consultation. Nobody is ever out of control and can choose at any time to speak or relate a feeling. The process is interactive. I once viewed an actress during a staged hypnosis event behave like a chicken. She chose to participate and accept that role or "suggestion". She was acting and fully aware and in acceptance of her need to put on a show. This type of "staging" is only for theatre and has nothing to do with therapeutic technique.
What exactly is the "hypnotic state"?
During hypnosis, you are in a state of awareness between sleep and wakefulness. It is that state of consciousness just before you fall asleep where you can be placed and kept for a time for the allowance of agreed upon suggestions to be assimilated. You have experienced self induced hypnosis without being aware of this many times. An example is when driving on a freeway and you get caught up in your thoughts and find you have missed an exit. You are fully aware and in control of your driving, but your thoughts have taken over the need to exit. You become aware again with a realization and this will probably not happen for some time because you became aware of it.
Can anybody be hypnotized?
In reference to the above explanation on self induced hypnotic state, yes anybody can achieve this state and many of us do frequently. Anybody who chooses can be induced into hypnosis for useful purpose. Having a mindset of fear and mistrust about the process will create a barrier that may be transcended with the cooperation of the mind. The purpose of hypnosis is actually reprogramming for beneficial results. Clarity and empowerment rather than immobility and fear are the desired and expected outcome. Persons who achieve the success they expect have transcended the non-useful programming that all humans have been subject to. Trust is incorporated through the conversation period and then through an extremely pleasant progressive relaxation technique that most people fine euphoric.
Does Hypnosis work?
This, the most common question I have left last purposely. Having read any of the above should take you to the conclusion that yes it does and IS the best method for transformation. Everyone is a product of early hypnosis with programming from unapproved sources, you now have the choice to master your own life using the tool that accesses the subconscious with YOU in the driver's seat.
