MYTHS
about HYPNOSIS 
Myths
about hypnosis
information
is from the MayoClinic.com If
you've ever seen hypnotism used as entertainment in a stage act, you've probably
witnessed several of the myths about hypnosis in action. Legitimate clinical hypnotherapy
practiced by a qualified professional is not the same process as that performed
on stage.
| Myth:
When you're under hypnosis, you surrender your free will.
Reality:
Hypnosis is a heightened state of concentration and focused attention. When you're
under hypnosis, you don't lose your personality, your free will or your personal
strength.
| Myth:
When you're under hypnosis, the hypnotherapist controls you.
Reality:
You do hypnosis voluntarily for yourself. A hypnotherapist only serves as a knowledgeable
guide or facilitator.
| Myth:
Under hypnosis, you lose consciousness and have amnesia.
Reality:
A small number of people who go into a very deep hypnotic state experience spontaneous
amnesia. However, most people remember everything that occurred under hypnosis.
| Myth:
You can be put under hypnosis without your consent.
Reality: Successful
hypnosis depends on your willingness to experience it. Even with voluntary participation,
not everyone can be led into a hypnotic state. Most people can be hypnotised.
| Myth:
It is possible I may not wake up.
Reality: During Hypnosis, you
aren't actually asleep in the usual sense. You are always aware and will most
likely remember everything. You are actually in heightened state of awareness
and should an emergency happen while you are in hypnosis, you would immediately
open your eyes and be alert and able to respond appropriately to the situation.
| Myth:
I might reveal deep, dark secrets under hypnosis.
Reality: In Hypnosis,
the only memories or experiences that will come into your awareness are those
memories and events that your subconscious mind knows will be helpful towards
your goals. You can not be compelled to share information against your will. |
