Hypnosis Myths Busted!


MYTH: A person can be made to do things against her will
False. No one can be hypnotised against their will and no one can be made to do anything under hypnosis that they would not do if not under hypnosis. When under hypnosis you can choose to accept or reject any suggestion given. You can say NO.


MYTH: Only weak minded people can be hypnotised
The contrary - the more intelligent a person the easier it is to hypnotise them. In fact in certain cases of mental debility hypnosis is not possible. Almost anyone who wants to be hypnotised can be hypnotised.


MYTH: When in hypnosis the person is asleep
Not true at all. Under hypnosis you are awake and very aware - in a state of heightened awareness. You may not feel that you are "under" and may say that, but the hypnotherapist can tell whether you are under hypnosis

You may feel:

  1. •Heavy or light feeling in limbs or body

  2. •Tingling sensation

  3. •Floating feeling

MYTH: You can get stuck in hypnosis
False. Even if the Hypnotherapist were to drop dead the person under hypnosis would come out of hypnosis easily. You may fall into a brief sleep then awaken normally or you will open your eyes when the therapists voice has not been heard for a while. Some people do not want to come out of hypnosis – enjoying the feeling or can't be bothered to open their eyes.


MYTH: Deep hypnosis is necessary for good results
Not true. Any level of hypnosis can bring good results. In fact if the hypnosis is too deep you may be "dreamy" and unable to differentiate between fantasy and reality.
