Hypnosis & Self-Hypnosis  

 


1.  What is a hypnotic state?

A hypnotic mind state is a normal and natural condition all humans experience every day.  When you tell yourself to, and then focus on thinking, feeling or imagining specific thoughts, feelings, or mind images, you are experiencing a hypnotic mind state.

 

When you daydream, get lost in memories for a few minutes, or when you are so focused on one subject 

  • like reading a book,

  • watching a movie, or

  • actively doing a hobby, that time (from minutes to hours) seems to slip past unnoticed

  • when you drive to work (or any familiar route) and you arrive without actually remembering any of the details of the journey.

    These are all examples of a experiencing a hypnotic mind state.
     

 

 

2.  What is self-hypnosis?

Self-hypnosis is when you choose to relax and focus inward to experience a hypnotic state.  You choose specific thoughts and mind images to guide you, directing your thoughts for your benefit. 
 

In the Relaxed Dental Visits program when you hear ideas, and then using those ideas, you relax your body and feel calm.  You choose, and then feel relaxation and calmness, by focusing your attention helpfully for yourself.


In self-hypnosis
YOU choose whether to listen or respond to helpful suggestions.  You decide your focus and the level of interaction or benefit you will experience.  Within a second or two, whenever you choose to change your focus, you instantly feel the results of your change of focus.
 

For example, say you have chosen to feel very deeply relaxed, but suddenly choose to focus clearly on your external surroundings once again (or speak with your dentist), then, once again, you prefer to feel deeply relaxed.  Your body will respond to your thoughts almost within the instant that you focus your attention upon those thoughts, so remember while at the dentist's office that it is helpful for you to choose to feel relaxation.
 

Your freedom of choice and focus is ALWAYS within your control.

 

 

3.  In hypnosis or self-hypnosis will I feel under someone else's control?

No one can force you to become hypnotized.  You will not do, or say, anything against your conscious choice.  Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are things you can do, because you choose to do them.

 

In fact, in self-hypnosis you are always in control.  You will only choose to hear and use information which you decide is true, for you.  YOU control your focus of thoughts and ideas.

 

In self hypnosis you are completely in control of your thoughts and your choices at all times. 

 

 

4.  Could I accidentally stay in self-hypnosis?

No. You are unable by design to remain in self-hypnosis, as your co-operation in directing your thoughts in specific ways, is required.  Your awareness will change as soon as you open your eyes and focus your attention more clearly on the room you are in, and on what you plan to do next.

The closing tracks of the program are 3 minutes long.  The closing tracks are designed to suggest you feel renewed and refreshed at the end of your relaxation program, so remember to listen to it.  Your dentist will be happy to have you complete your appointment in a relaxing manner.

 

 

5.  What is clinical hypnosis?

Clinical hypnosis uses the natural state of hypnosis to help people make changes in their 'automatic' responses, assisting in achieving their physical or mental goals.  Clinical hypnosis is different than stage hypnosis.  (Stage hypnosis is most often used for entertainment purposes, rather than serious goal achievement.

 

Clinical hypnosis uses the safe and gentle state of hypnosis for improving or changing beneficially emotional, mental and physical issues.  Clinical hypnosis has successfully been used for surgical benefit (including dental surgery), asthma, healing, childbirth, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia and pain management, plus the reduction of chemotherapy and other medical side effects, along with many other health and emotional issues.
