HOW AND WHY HYPNOSIS WORKS

Thomas Yarnell, Ph.D.

Licensed Clinical Psychologist

Hypnosis Specialist

Modern hypnosis has been used for hundreds of years to build self-confidence, change

habits, lose weight with weight loss programs, stop smoking, improve memory, end behavior

problems in children and eliminate anxiety, fear and phobias.

The question is, WHAT IS HYPNOSIS? Hypnosis is a state of mind characterized by relaxed

brain waves and a state of hyper-suggestibility. Hypnosis and hypnotic suggestions have

played a major role in healing for thousands of years. According to the World Health

Organization, 90% of the general population can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is a perfectly

normal state that just about everyone has experienced. What we call "highway hypnosis" is a

natural hypnotic state. You drive somewhere and don't remember driving or even remember

seeing the usual landmarks. You are on automatic pilot. The natural hypnotic state also exists

when you become so involved in a book, TV show or some other activity that everything else

is blocked out. Someone can talk to you and you don't even see or hear them. Whenever you

concentrate that strongly, you automatically slip into the natural hypnotic state.

The hypnotic state, by itself, is only useful for the relaxation it produces. The real importance

of hypnosis to the healing and emotional change process is that while you are in the hypnotic

state, your mind is open and receptive to suggestions. Positive and healing suggestions are

able to sink deeply into your mind much more quickly and strongly than when you are in a

normal, awake state of mind. I say positive suggestions because all research has

demonstrated that while in the hypnotic state, you cannot be made to do anything against

your moral values.

All of our habitual and behavior controlling thoughts reside in what is called our subconscious

mind. It's called that because it is deeper than our conscious mind. It's below our level of

consciousness. We are unaware of the thoughts and feelings that reside there. Did you ever

forget you had a dental appointment or some other appointment that you really didn't want to

keep? Your subconscious mind is where that thought or memory that you had to go to the

dentist at 2 PM went when you forgot you had the appointment. Once it was too late to go,

your conscious mind relaxed and the memory came back.

Imagine that there is a trap door between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind.

Normally, the trap door is closed until your brain waves slow down to a relaxed, alpha brain

wave level. This happens when you are asleep. The door opens for short periods of time and

ideas, images and thoughts come out of your subconscious mind. We call what comes out in

your sleep, "dreams". When you are in a state of hypnosis, the door also opens so helpful

suggestions can be directed into your subconscious mind or forgotten memories can be

retrieved.

The hypnotic induction that hypnotists use is simply a way to focus your attention and

concentration so you will go into that natural, normal hypnotic state. Once in the state of

hypnosis, the trap door opens and suggestions to help you can be given. The list of ways

hypnosis has been used to help children, adolescents and adults is practically endless but

does include: weight loss, stopping smoking, building self-confidence and self-esteem,

improving academic performance at every age level, improving test taking ability from children

through high school, college, medical and law school as well as the National Teacher

Certification Exam, pain management, eliminating anxiety, fear and phobias, stress

management, insomnia and other sleep problems and helping to heal physical problems.

2. To really work well, suggestions must be reinforced by repetition. Most of the habits,

feelings and emotions we want to change are deeply implanted in our subconscious mind and
