There are lot of myths or misconceptions about Hypnosis, because of many reasons like movies, how we perceive Stage hypnosis, half knowledge, ignorance, and lack of proper resources. Thanks to modern technology, every information is available readily, all we need to do is just search and read from a reliable source like you just now did.<\/p>\n

I have come across many people with strange myths, misconceptions or fear about hypnosis, so lets see those popular myths and bust them.<\/p>\n

\n

1.\nHypnosis is mind control, you will loose control<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Wrong.<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Origin of myth: Movies and how we\nperceive Stage hypnosis<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

A hypnotist cannot make a person do\nanything which is against their will or values or morals. Even in the deepest\nlevel of hypnosis, you will have complete control over yourself. You will only\ndo things, accept things which you want to change, not whatever a hypnotist\nsuggests.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

2.<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/b>Hypnotists\/Hypnotherapists\nhave special power<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Wrong.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Origin of myth: Movies<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Hypnotists do not have any special\npower. Then you might wonder how they can effectively help patients. It is\nbecause of skills, years of practice, patience, will power, confidence, good\nunderstanding of human psychology, and experience of working with people.\nAnyone with enough practice, learning, patience, interest can learn it.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

3. Hypnosis does not work if you\nhave strong mindset or will power<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Wrong.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Origin of myth: Lack of knowledge or\nignorance.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

This one is a very popular myth, and I\ncannot help but smile at the ignorance of these people.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

No offence to anyone who believes so,\nbut it is exactly the opposite. I can understand that it is natural for\nsome people to believe or think this way, as it makes them feel they are\nspecial, or uncontrollable. But truth is Hypnosis itself is not mind control.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

And anyone with IQ above 80 can be\nhypnotized, if they are willing to.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Higher the intelligence or imagination,\nor will power, or strong mind or concentration, easier it is for such people to\nundergo hypnotic state. It is difficult for weak minded people to go into\ntrance state, they need more time. Question you need to ask yourself is, if I\nhave strong mind, if I am willing to go into hypnotic state to get benefits of\nthis amazing tool, then why will be it difficult?<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

If you think deeply, it is not the\nstrong mind or weak mind, it is about the willingness. If you want to, you\ncan, if you don\u2019t want to, you cannot. As simple as that.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

Nobody can hypnotize you, it is you who\nis going into hypnotic state, and hypnotherapist is only there to help you or\nguide you through the process and ultimately help you for a positive change.\nAll hypnosis are thus self-hypnosis.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

4. You may get stuck and cannot wake up\nfrom hypnotic sleep<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Wrong.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Origin of myth: Lack of knowledge.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Some people have this fear that what if\nthey cannot come out of hypnotic state. Even my mom and grand ma used to stop\nme from doing hypnotism on my brother or cousins. They used to tell what if\nthey go unconscious, it is no moon day, don\u2019t do anything, it is risky etc. I\nknow it sounds funny but point here is due to lack of knowledge we naturally\nget afraid. RELAX. It can never happen like that. It never happened to\nanyone till now, and it will never happen to anyone in future. Hypnosis is\nnatural state of mind where the brain\u2019s frequency drops to theta or delta state\nwhich is associated with deep meditation, or deep relaxation or sleep state. It\nis impossible to get stuck in hypnotic state. In fact it is a natural\nstate that we all enter into on a daily basis like reading with\nconcentration, immersed in a favourite TV show etc.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>

 <\/span><\/p>

5. People who go to hypnotherapists are\nmentally ill.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Wrong<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

Origin of Myth: Lack of knowledge and\nawareness.<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>

A mentally challenged person cannot go\ninto hypnotic trance, they cannot be hypnotized. They need to consult\npsychiatrists\/doctor. You can enter hypnotic state if you have above average\nIQ, mentally fit, willing, will power, focus, and able to understand language\nspoken by the hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy is useful for you to improve your life\nand make some positive changes. If you are addicted to something (let\u2019s say\ngaming or smoking), then it does not mean you are mentally ill. If you want to\novercome past trauma, it does not mean you are mentally unfit.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
