about what's true and what's hype. There are 5 big myths about hypnosis as described by Taylor Peterson, the lead hypnotherapist at Discover Self Hypnosis in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Taylor explains, "Although hypnosis has been repeatedly shown to be able to assist individuals with a number of different problems, ranging from overcoming phobias to losing weight, a number of different myths and misconceptions remain in place to this day. Some of these misconceptions include:
Mind control. Thanks to a number of different movies, comic books, and other works of fiction, many people believe that hypnosis is a form of mind control or brainwashing. Hypnosis does not give a person control over another person. Rather, it helps that person to gain control over his or her own mind.
Special powers. Some also believe that hypnotherapists have special powers. A hypnotherapist simply understands the techniques necessary to help a person unlock the powers of his or her own mind and to make the person more susceptible to suggestion.
Losing awareness. Another popular misconception is that the person being hypnotized is unaware of his or her surroundings or is unconscious while in a hypnotic trance. The word hypnosis is actually derived from a word that means sleep in Greek. In reality, the hypnotized person is in a relaxed trance during which he or she is always aware at some level and remains alert.
Only the weak can be hypnotized.
It's all imaginary. Some also mistakenly believe that hypnosis is all the result of an overactive imagination. In actuality, research has found that those people who are more imaginative actually don't do quite as well with hypnosis. In addition, PET scans clearly show changes in blood flow in the brain while in a hypnotic state.So much for the mythology.
Now, for what's actually scientifically true about hypnosis for weight loss, here's what the Journal of Clinical Psychology found when working with researchers at the University of Connecticut way back in 1995.
"At the last assessment period, the mean weight loss was 6.03 Ibs. (2.74 kg) without hypnosis and 14.88 Ibs. (6.75 kg) with hypnosis."
What the researchers are saying in scientific terms is that hypnosis for weight loss not only works, but that you lose over two and a half times more weight when using hypnosis for weight loss than just regular dieting. Look out Jenny Craig when this fact becomes widely known. For more proof, here's what the world-renowned Mayo Clinic has to say in the preface to their exhaustive report on the subject,
"To determine whether hypnosis has a role in contemporary medicine, relevant trials and a few case reports are reviewed. Despite substantial variation in techniques among the numerous reports, patients treated with hypnosis experienced substantial benefits for many different medical conditions."
Now here's more good news. A good book on the subject of hypnosis weight loss with CD program included is "Think Yourself Thin; The Revolutionary Self-Hypnosis Secret to Permanent Weight Loss" by Darcy D. Buehel Ph.D. This is an inexpensive way to test the waters. Give it a try and check back. Let me know how it worked for you.
To Your Health and Happiness, This goes back to the misconception that hypnosis is a form of mind control and, as such, a person capable of being hypnotized is too weak-minded to resist the control. According to research, however, a person's intelligence or level of gullibility has nothing to do with how easily he or she can be put into a hypnotic trance.
