What is a hypnotic state?

Being in a hypnotic state really just means that we are in a relaxed state – somewhere between awake and asleep. Also sometimes called focused attention or being in a trance. In the hypnotic state, we are both physically and mentally relaxed. The state can be slightly relaxed or deeply relaxed – and the deeper we get down, the more access we give to the subconscious. In the hypnosis state, there is access to the subconscious, which means that new programs can be installed.

The hypnotic relaxed state is a completely common state in our lives – a state that we are in several times a day. At least just before we wake up and just before we fall asleep. But we can also be in a hypnotic state when we daydream, read a book, watch TV, go for a walk in the woods or get a massage.

The hypnotic state, also called trance, can be more or less deep. During the hypnosis session, some will experience that they are aware of everything that is said, and others will experience being 'completely gone'. By the way, you are not supposed to sleep, but preferably be in a state that is between awake and asleep. Some may go quickly into a hypnotic state, while others need more time. Often the state will get deeper the further into the hypnosis session you get. During the session, the depth of the hypnotic state can vary.

Is the brain like a computer?

The brain analogy is seeing the brain like a computer with various programs installed in the subconscious. Having programmes installed is n many cases convenient, so we don't have to experience the world all over again every time a new thing happens. The programs make it easier for us to get through everyday life. However, some of the installed programs are not appropriate, it may be fears or negative beliefs. For example, that you are not good enough, that you are ultra-afraid of spiders or that you need sweets.

Hypnosis therapy is like deleting old outdated and unwanted programmes and installing new ones

What is Hypnosis?

What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnosis therepy?

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. It can be used for entertainment or simple relaxation, helping individuals reach a meditative-like state.

Hypnosis therapy, on the other hand, is a structured and professional practice where hypnosis is employed as a therapeutic tool to address specific issues like stress, anxiety, phobias, or breaking habits. It is guided by a trained practitioner and involves tailored strategies to promote healing or personal growth.

While hypnosis is the process itself, hypnosis therapy is the intentional application of that process to achieve therapeutic goals

There is always only one person who can put you in a hypnotic state and that is yourself. However, a hypnotist can help you induce the state but it is you who decides if you allow it.

What if I fall asleep during a session?

There is always only one person who can put you in a hypnotic state and that is yourself. However, a hypnotist can help you induce the state but it is you who decides if you allow it.

How does it feel to be in hypnosis?

It just feels like we're very relaxed. Depending on how far down we are in hypnosis, we can be almost 'completely gone' as in just before sleep, or 'quite awake'. In modern hypnosis therapy, there is a dialogue between the client and the therapist, who typically asks questions to know what the client is experiencing, so that the therapy can work with what is happening in the client's subconscious.

Can I be hypnotised against my will?

No, hypnosis requires your consent and willingness to participate—it cannot be forced upon you.

Hypnosis works by engaging the subconscious mind through relaxation and focused attention, but for the process to be effective, you must be open to it. Your mind will always maintain a level of awareness and control, meaning that if you do not want to be hypnotized, the suggestions given during hypnosis will not take effect. This is why hypnosis cannot override your free will or force you to do something against your morals or desires.

Popular myths sometimes portray hypnosis as a form of mind control, but in reality, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis—meaning that you are the one allowing the process to happen. A hypnotist or therapist can only guide and facilitate the experience, but they cannot force you into a trance or make you do something unwillingly.

What happens in a hypnosis therapy session?

Pre-talk

When you show up, I welcome you in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. We then go through your challenges. The reason why you do not just change even though you want to is probably because something is programmed in your subcounscious mind. It does not understand the word 'not'. Therefore, we need to formulate what you want instead of your current state and the sentences must be turned around so that they are positive. For example, you want to be 'sugar-free' instead of 'you won't crave sugar'

Induction

It is necessary that you are prepared to let go and receive suggestions – in relation to what you want to change. Therefore, one is brought into a hypnotic, i.e. relaxed state, in the first phase of hypnosis, and this phase is called the induction. Induction can be compared to meditation, where you also relax. The difference is just that with hypnotic therapy, you use the relaxed state to talk to the subconscious afterwards.

Hypnosis Therapy / Suggestions

The purpose of this part is to plant new ideas in the subconscious in order to change how you relate to different things in life that you think are inappropriate. The new ideas are called suggestions
