How Hypnotherapy Works

How to Hypnotize someone

As a Hypnotherapist working in Glasgow, a lot of people ask me exactly ‘how does hypnotherapy work’, and if I can explain the exact processes. The simple is Hypnotherapy DOES work – although how hypnotherapy works is a matter of some debate. The British Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis states:

How to Hypnotize someone – How does Hypnosis Work?

“In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist.”

The way I explain the ‘Hypnotism how to’ and process of learning how to hypnotize someone as follows:

“Hypnotherapy is the state of being both awake and asleep. Where we can access both the conscious thinking mind and the deeper unconscious mind, and integrate patterns, thoughts and feelings that often contradict each other and cause us emotional and mental issues. Hypnotherapy is based on the ancient arts of meditation and reflection originally developed by cultures in the Far East, and anyone wishing to learn hypnotherapy and master how to hypnotize people would do well to begin studying them first.”

“By balancing and integrating the conscious and subconscious mind we can be more at peace with our own thoughts, emotions, needs, desires and fears on a fundamental level, making us more relaxed and our lives more peaceful. Hypnosis allows a client to enter this beneficial state and make changes on a deeper level, while remaining relaxed and alert the whole time.”
