Hypnosis vs Hypnotherapy
You have seen Hypnosis in some form or the other, either on stage where the hypnotist can make people do anything or in a movie where a hypnotist starts controlling another. All of these are examples of performance/ stage hypnosis and is mostly linked with mentalism.
Compared to Hypnosis ‘Hypnotherapy’ as the name suggests is a therapy to heal people using the state of hypnosis, a state of complete relaxation when the brainwave is at Theta level (the state when you are dipping into sleep). When you are at Theta state your conscious/ analytical mind takes a back seat and your subconscious is accessed.
The Power of Subconscious Mind
Subconscious is a pool of all your experiences, emotions, and situations since you were born. Think of it as a storage device. It also stores any activity- physical or mental. Hence is called the Habitual Mind. Specially the situations/ emotions that we don’t deal/ managed well are all that stay deep down in your subconscious.
The key fact which will blow your mind is that your Subconscious mind is 90% compared to only 10% of your Conscious Mind. And 95% of your cognitive activity is the responsibility of your Subconscious. Think of a usual day in your life and think of all that you automated- brushing, morning coffee, driving, speaking and even your emotional thoughts are automated. Hence all our behaviors & cognitive response to life and people is laid on this foundation.
How does Hypnotherapy Work?
Hypnotherapy dives into your subconscious and works on the challenges you face in your life. The blocked experiences that come up under hypnosis for therapy are extremely cathartic. And very emotional. This is an absolute internal process. No outside senses- sight, sound etc are involved. Another myth around Hypnotherapy is that You are not aware of what’s going on, which is not true at all.
As an example- I had a client who innately felt she is not worthy enough for anything in life. She went through her whole childhood where she was verbally and emotionally abused by her mother and extended family. Going through a few key events where your perception about yourself & others is forming, your parents (the epitome of love and care) are crucial to beliefs & worldwide taking shape at that stage of life. So if you felt unloved, uncared for, this feeling only exaggerates and becomes a strong belief that ‘I am not worthy enough’ or ‘Not good enough’. Going back and into yourself, your deep innate self, makes you not only handle that past experience as the present mature adult but releases and specially heals you.
Hypnotherapy creates awareness of ‘WHY’ you feel the way you feel. And work on that part of you, which was perhaps left behind years back as you couldn’t or didn’t know how to process the situation then.
What Mental Health Challenges can be healed by Hypnotherapy?
Almost all mental wellbeing challenges can be dealt with by hypnotherapy- like Anxiety, Unworthiness. Feeling lost, Fears, Phobias, toxic relationships, complicated relationships, lack of confidence, hopelessness, lacking motivation etc etc.
Hypnotherapy also works wonders for breaking habits/patterns that you have gotten used to and get trapped in one on the three key aspects of your life-
Behavioral (in the form of habits)
Substance (in the form of addictions)
Emotional (in the form of negative emotions and/ or unhealthy attachments).
No wonder Subconscious is also known as the Habitual mind.
If you have a challenge in your life and can’t get to see a solution to it working consciously then working through your subconscious with the help of a Hypnotherapist is not only one of the best but also a lasting solution.
