Cautions Concerning Hypnosis
Jonny Goldmann
Many people still believe that hypnosis is dangerous but in
fact, by itself it is perfectly harmless. The key with hypnosis
is to work with a qualified and trained hypnotist or hypnotherapist.
After all, this individual is going to take you on a journey
that involves you being given suggestions. Obviously, unwise
use of suggestions could create problems, sometimes leading
to the very opposite of what you are trying to achieve. Therefore,
it is essential that your hypnotist or hypnotherapist have
a full understanding of the principles and disciplines associated
with this suggestion structure.
For example, if you were going to see a hypnotist or hypnotherapist
to lose weight and that individual does not understand the
disciplines of hypnosis, he or she may begin to offer you
suggestions like, "You do not like food!" While that might
sound fine, the problem is that this very suggestion is only
going to start the wheels of the subconscious mind turning,
doing what - thinking of food. In other words, the suggestion
that was intended to help curb your appetite has now been
used incorrectly, thus creating additional problems for the
original problem.
Suggestions are intended to create images within the subconscious.
However, the subconscious mind is not capable of telling fact
from fiction. A great test that professionals use is this
- close your eyes. With your eyes closed, imagine you are
holding a bucket in each hand. For the bucket in your left
hand, imagine that it is filled with light, fluffy feathers.
For the bucket in your right hand, imagine it is full of water.
Now, focus on the bucket filled with water, creating an image
of water and sound. After about 30 seconds, open your eyes
and look where your right hand is compared to your left hand.
A trained hypnotist or hypnotherapist will turn their attention
on the solution and results rather than the problem. A skilled
professional knows the importance of this and other disciplines
associated with hypnosis for the best results. You want a
professional that will teach you empowerment, show you how
to use your mind to achieve the things in life you want to
accomplish. Because of this, you need to remember a good rule
of thumb - all hypnotherapy will employ hypnosis but not all
hypnosis is hypnotherapy. Typically, it takes a qualified
professional, years of training to master the art of suggestion
so choose wisely.
It is also important that helping a person overcome challenges
in life is more than hypnotic suggestion. You have to be open
and willing to receive these positive suggestions or the hypnosis
will not work. We strongly recommend you work with someone
who has undergone the appropriate training to help people.
In addition, finding someone with these qualifications along
with a counseling background is a bonus. However, keep in
mind that training in counseling is never a substitute for
training in hypnotherapy. Finally, avoid hypnotists that are
self-taught, a very dangerous game indeed.
