WHAT IS HYPNOSIS II?
By Judy Callihan Warfield

What is Hypnosis? Does it work? Can it help me? Can it harm me? These are all questions that I hear frequently. First let’s talk about what is hypnosis? Unfortunately, most people’s exposure to hypnosis is thru either watching a stage show or perhaps a funky movie where someone waves a watch and people start walking around like zombies. Many people’s perception is based on fiction, doubt, superstition and and is not based in the facts of how hypnosis is used in modern times.

Hypnosis began in the l950’s and was recognized by the American Medial Association.
It has been established as a successful therapeutic media that deals with the innovative idea of suggestibility, which all humans possess. In today’s society it is an accepted fact that “where the mind goes the body will follow” or that thoughts impact our health, habits, and behaviors. The philosophy of positive thinking has been greatly expanded to allow people to begin to feel empowered thru their own thoughts and see that direct relationship create desired actions and results.

Hypnosis is a great drug free method to bring about change in your habits, behaviors, patterns and change your negative or limiting beliefs. We see the evidence of the strength of our subconscious whenever we are unsuccessful in changing a habit or behavior. Because habits and behaviors are contained in our subconscious hypnosis becomes one of the most successful avenues for change. Hypnosis does not deal with conscious mind but rather bypasses conscious mind and goes directly to subconscious.
This allows us to create those new healthy habits so we can more easily delete those roadblocks to our goals. Roadblocks can be habits, behaviors, fears, lack of confidence or motivation.

Can it harm me? Absolutely not! However, make sure the hypnotherapist you choose has the proper credentials. Remember, hypnotherapy is an unlicensed field so be as diligent in picking a hypnotherapist as you would your physician or dentist. Because hypnosis is a drug free method you never have a worry about complications from side effects of prescriptions. There is also never an issue of dependency. My goal with my clients is to teach them the techniques and skills that they can use and develop the rest of their lives to continue to expand and reach their goals.
