Body Paragraph 1: …Hypnotism is a subconscious, non-physical state of mind brought about by suggestion that can be used to induce extremely powerful and lengthy states of relaxation, healing, or other major changes in behavior. This can take place merely by having someone sit quietly with eyes closed while a hypnotist speaks to them in a natural, unassuming manner. The hypnotic trance can be deep within minutes or seconds of person's first contact with a hypnotherapist. This state is a deep sleep without the confusion of dreams. The subconscious is allowed to release itself from the control of the conscious mind, which helps people get to a place where they can make changes that are difficult to achieve if they are in an unaltered mental state.
Body Paragraph 2: …It is important for you to keep in mind that hypnosis does not put someone into a sleep-like state. Rather, it promotes relaxation and allows them to focus their attention on positive thoughts and outcomes. Hypnosis consists of a number of factors that work together to increase someone's suggestibility, including relaxation and lowering of mental effort. In addition, hypnosis may be used for the purpose of creating changes in behaviors or responses to people or situations.
Body Paragraph 3: …The effects of hypnosis can last for several hours at a time, and can last for days after the person has been hypnotized. The specific amount of change and the length of hypnosis depends on the individual's experience, mental state and motivation. However, all hypnotic states are characterized by a reduction in awareness of the outside world as well as oneself.
Body Paragraph 4: …Hypnotics talk to people through a variety of techniques that allow them to direct their attention toward deep relaxation, positive thinking and feelings that dissolve tension in their bodies. Hypnotics may suggest that a person is feeling warm, for example, to help them release tension in their muscles. They can also speak to the subconscious directly and can suggest that the person has more energy or feels more relaxed. Hypnotic techniques vary depending on the goals of the hypnotist, but all hypnotherapists are trained in hypnotic induction methods as well as post-hypnotic suggestions, which they use to help people adjust after hypnosis.
Conclusion Paragraph: …Hypnosis has been used for centuries by many cultures around the world. However, only recently have American psychologists and physicians becoming interested in hypnotherapy as a means of treating patients with psychological disorders.
