subject: Hypnosis - Could You Reprogram An Individual's Subconscious Mind? [print this page] My own answer to that is a definite "Yes" and being a practising psychotherapist of close to 17 years I would know. All things considered,
There have been inconsistant accounts regarding hypnotherapy due to its association with stage hypnosis. There exists a whole world of distinction between clinical hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis.
Hypnosis still is a bit of a mystery to most people, probably due to this confusion. This really is regrettable. Some individuals have made overstated and misleading promises about what this useful psychological method is capable of doing. There are a few less than scrupulous promotion individuals and opportunistic practitioners out there.
You may read a number of incredible statements that hypnosis can relieve all kinds of mental and physical problems. Usually with no effort or input on the part of the individual. Sadly, This is not the case. If it were, then emotional suffering in all its many forms would be a thing of the past. In the hands of a trained practitioner it most certainly is an efficient tool for change but it's not only the practitioner you have to consider.
A qualified hypnotherapist might contribute greatly to the easing of psychological suffering in the client and result in remarkable changes in client behaviour. Nevertheless, there are some prerequisites which need to be put in place before this could take place.
The recipient has got to want to change his or her behaviour. This is often misunderstood nonetheless it is one of the principles of hypnosis. For real change to happen the client must really want it to take place. The notion that the therapist is actually in control of their client is just untrue. That is not the way that the mind functions.
Let us consider weight reduction as an example. There won't be any weight loss if the dieter has some hidden agenda not to lose weight. This may be something such as having to confront living a more active lifestyle or maybe dealing with additional obligations.
No person can reprogram somebody's subconscious mind against their will. Regardless how convincing or skilled the hypnotist is. The dieter will continue with exactly the same living habits as before, however self damaging they may be.
If, alternatively, the client truly wants the behavior and thought processes to change and if the particular therapist is good, change will be practically certain. I have had the joy and achievement of seeing clients of my own alter in most extraordinary ways after they really wanted that transformation to happen.
If you give the right suggestions to the subconscious mind in the right way it can start effecting the necessary changes almost immediately.
