How to Lose Weight or Quit Smoking.
Hypnosis helps many problems but the three main ones are:
People want to stop smoking, get rid of weight, or manage their stress.
These are the toughest behavioral changes to make the the ones that will give the most reward in good health.
Smoking is a physical addiction brought on, at first, by peer pressure and marketing experts.
Overeating can be curbed but it just is not something we can stop doing.
If you want to master the first two, however, you must first deal with number three. Learn to manage the everyday stresses of life by using positive alternatives.
We all know that stress is both good and bad depending on how a person deals with it. It is part of life. The behaviors " smoking, drug use, financial, alcohol abuse " are negative responses to stress. I wont go into any mind numbing theory about why. Lets just say they are a complex jumble of conscious thoughts and subconscious mechanisms that lay beneath them. Those thoughts can be controlled by you and the behavior can be stopped or changed.
So a better name for stress management is response management - the way you actually respond to the stresses of living. Hypnosis helps you learn better ways to respond by teaching you about your subconscious.
As a result of a hypnosis session, some clients discover talents and abilities they werent aware they had. Hypnosis utilizes the individuals strengths and resources to create the world they want to experience. Nowhere is this more important than changing harmful responses.
I am typically asked these questions regarding hypnosis.
Am I giving control of my mind to someone else?
No. Only you can do that. As a matter of fact, the point of hypnosis is to allow you to be more in control.
What about free will?
Hypnosis only gives you a relaxed state during which you are presented suggestions for a better outcome. You are free to reject or accept them. You don't lose your free will, personality or strength.
What if I'm someone who cannot be hypnotized?
Anyone can be hypnotized in the hands of a skilled hypnotist or hypnotherapist. The only requirement is that you want to.
Is it dangerous?
Hypnosis is generally no more distressing than daydreaming. If you read the medical literature or ask for case studies, you'll see that hypnosis is no more dangerous than taking an aspirin.
Will I be awake during hypnosis?
Yes you will be fully awake and aware - just very relaxed. And you can emerge from hypnosis at any time.
Changing harmful behaviors is not easy. The world can be harsh and stressful. But you can change your responses to become calmer, more focused, and positive through hypnosis.
