I’ve noticed that I sometimes yawn just before I end my self hypnhypnosis session. What does it mean? Does it mean I wasn’t in a hypnotic sleep in the first place? Thanx!

Those who have learnt hypnotism can only know the meaning of such things. I also doubt how it can develop on its own without our effort. I think hypnotism is also a kind of miracle or magic.

Is it possible to change your model of the world to that of a sociopath? If so what nlp/hypnosis techniques can I use to become more apathetic and emotionless?
Nah, Sounds like some shit you would find out of a elementary school counselor handbook…Try your pathetic psycho analysis again So you think its genetic?

I’m not a professional, but I doubt it. Sociopathy is a very deep disorder that often originates from childhood whereas NLP and hypnosis produce a state that could be described as "motivation" rather than changes in personality.

I sweat like crazy and not just cuz i’m nervous- I have all my life. I was wondering if there are any cases actually documented about hypnosis working for this kind of stuff. I really wanna stop taking meds and worrying about this.

I’m not aware of any cases offhand. However hypnotherapy can be used to treat excessive blushing, which to my mind is a bit related as it is the skin doing more of something than it ought to.

Have your doctors found a cause for the sweating? If they aren’t able to, or feel it might have some psychological cause, then hypnotherapy may be able to help.

There are several types of hypnotherapy. The one I recommend in this case is known as hypnoanalysis or analytical hypnotherapy, so you would need to find a therapist who does this speciality. Such therapists probably also do regression therapy (in your life as opposed to past life regressions), if you are having problems finding one.

You have to be over 18 to undergo this therapy (ideally a bit older). As it is to treat a medical condition the therapist will probably need a note from your doctor, but they can discuss that with you when you see them.

I hope you are successful. As you are taking meds, it is essential you get your doctor’s permission before changing dosage or stopping them.

and what is the relation between the two?

Attempting hypnosis, I once went into a state which is similar to dreaming in which my mind wanders rapidly without the guidance of my consciousness. I was wondering whether I was simply drifting off into sleep or whether I was actually in an effective state of hypnosis.

Surfing the web, I also discovered that many of the inductions for hypnosis are similar to those used for meditation and am wondering also how those differ as well.

i recently read an interesting ebook on this, http://freeundergroundhypnosis.tk/

Hypnosis has long been a matter of debate. Some people consider it a tool of behavioural modification believing that it really can have some good effects on treating problems like weight management. Other people are sceptical and regard hypnosis as just a kind of fake magic. The question is: Does hypnosis for weight loss work? Let us try to find out in this article.

Research has shown that hypnosis has a significant effect on weight loss management and it has been found out that hypnosis has equally positive effects on weight loss programs. Despite the belief that hypnosis is just a kind of fake magic, it has been used as an effective clinical tool to modify behavior and to help people manage their overweight status. We can, thus, say that hypnosis for weight loss works - at least to some extent. But does hypnosis for weight loss work in general?

As with any tool you will have to apply hypnosis correctly in order to get results. Therefore, the next question to be asked is: How does hypnosis for weight loss work? Hypnosis can help you to change your habits for the better by communicating with your mind on the subliminal level. Your success depends on how effective this communication with your mind on the subliminal level is. We can, thus, affirm the question does hypnosis for weight loss work in general; it is essential, however, for you to provide your subconscious with the right instructions in order to get results.

If you are still doubtful about whether hypnosis for weight loss works or not, you can visit the website of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), which is in fact the largest U.S. organization dealing with health and mental health care and actively makes use of the art of clinical hypnosis. The members of this organization are psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage counsellors and family therapist, mental health counsellors, clinical social workers, nurses, doctors and other people. They have applied a lot of effort promoting research on this kind of clinical hypnosis and on helping people to change their behavior.

The ASCH carried out a nine-week program of hypnosis for weight loss work and found out that people who had been hypnotized achieved better results in the management of weight loss than those who had not been hypnotized. The same kind of research was carried out again two years later with the hypnosis group still achieving better results than the non-hypnosis group. In this way they managed to prove the question does hypnosis for weight loss work beyond any doubt.

In another research program, categorizing 60 women into hypnosis- and non-hypnosis groups for weight loss management purposes, it was found that the hypnosis-group showed an average result of 17 pounds weight loss compared to 5 pound weight loss among those who had not been hypnotized. Thus, there is no doubt about the fact that hypnosis for weight loss works for those who really want to get rid of fat and extra weight.

For many of us, our eating habits are closely linked to our emotional status, lifestyle, and habits. The more upset we are the more we eat. Hypnosis can tackle the heart of the problem such as why our motivation fails in dieting, why we eat when we are not hungry and why stress or emotional distress causes our diet to go out the window.

The creative right side of the brain is where our subconscious resides as opposed to the logical conscious left side of the brain. Hypnosis communicates with the right side of our brain while the left side is “turned off” and our right side is more alert and aware.

Weight loss hypnosis really does work and can make a real difference in your life and the way you think about food.

What do you mean by hypnosis? Most people who hear this word don’t actually understand the actual meaning. Also many people think hypnosis involves taking over the mind of another person. The hypnotist can control that person and make them do whatever they want them to do. Hypnosis has a different meaning in medical terms.

How hypnosis is used for medicinal purpose? The hypnosis method which is used for medicinal treatment purpose is called clinical hypnosis. It is not entirely a new practice. The first time it was used in the 18th century. Nowadays clinical hypnosis is used for both mental and physical treatments.

Mental problems like anxiety, sexual problems, speech disorders, managing weight loss, alcoholism, concentration, improving memory, chronic pain and phobias are treated with the help of clinical hypnosis.

Hypnosis is even used to help solve physical problems such as digestive problems, controlling bleeding during surgery or pregnancy, habit control, dermatology, anesthesia, and burn therapy.

There are many dentists who use hypnosis with patients who fear dental exams. Also this aides in controlling a person’s habits such as gagging, drooling and tongue biting. Regardless of everything, hypnosis has been very successful therapy. The reason which makes it a successful therapy is that the people who are hypnotized respond well to treatment. Nearly 85% of the population can be treated with hypnosis therapy.

How does clinical hypnosis work? Clinical hypnosis is done by putting a person in an altered state of awareness and then the hypnotized person becomes totally relaxed. This permits them to access their subconscious. Here the subconscious means the part of the mind which is suppressed by the consciousness while you are awake. Hypnosis is a perfect way for gaining total self-control.

How hypnosis is done? First the patient is asked to relax. Then he is asked to concentrate on a specific point. The patient is asked for concentrating on the voice of the hypnotist while the hypnotist provides more suggestions to achieve deeper relaxation and focus.

Different kinds of hypnosis sessions are done for different kinds of problem being treated. Various positive suggestions are provided for alleviating symptoms and issues. In the first of a series of sessions, you will be given a simple script to follow.

As you learn more about hypnosis and go through the therapy sessions, chances are your hypnotherapist will provide you with some post-hypnotic scripts on your own to try. This helps to reinforce the new attitudes and perceptions which were established during your prior sessions.

Generally in the process of hypnosis, audio sounds and positive imagery are also used for treating the problems. Self-hypnosis is also done in which a person tires to treat his problem by himself. To learn self-hypnosis you can purchase a book or a tape. But the best way to seek treatment is to take help from a professional and qualified hypnotist only rather than trying on your own, at least in the beginning then.

I know you can’t use hypnosis to erase pieces of someones memory but are there other ways that will work. Ways that kind of mess with the mind like hypnosis? I’m doing a project on psychology.
Actually hypnosis may be able to do this. I’ve heard otherwise from many though.

Hi Tyra

For a psych project you’re going to need more than the two line answers you’ll get here.

Hypnosis can be used for amnesia but it isn’t good therapy. For example, if I make a smoker forget that they smoke imagine the scene when their friend offers them a smoke. They decline, insisting they don’t smoke. Their friend says "C’mon, I’ve known you for years and you smoke like a chimney!" You see the confusion that would cause?

So hypno-amnesia tends to be confined to research, and in research you are probably only going to test the efficacy of amnesia in the short-term. Aaron might be right and the effect is only temporary but speaking as a clinical hypnotist with 16 years’ experience and 17,000 inductions under my belt I’m inclined to think it probably could be made permanent. After all, when I cure a phobia I cure it for ever

Best wishes
