The next few posts will answer common questions that people have sent in about hypnosis.
Question: How does it feel to be hypnotized?
Each person experiences hypnosis differently. After experiencing trance the first time many say it feels like a deeply relaxed and refreshing experience. Others might say they didn’t feel like they were hypnotized.
There are two types of hypnosis. Classical and Ericksonian. According to which is used results are different. People with hi anxiety and panic have difficulty relaxing, so instead of trying to use classical hypnosis which focuses on relaxation it is best to use a combination of Ericksonian Hypnosis and NLP. A person doesn’t need to be relax, and many times feel like they are just focusing inward as they talk to the hypnotherapist. Even when they didn’t feel hypnotized, they usually find that the changes they are working on happen almost automatically. Many will come in for their next session saying, ” I don’t know what happened but I’m feeling like something has changed inside.” Or they might say “I was amazed at my reaction, I didn’t go into a rage, in a situation where I usually did.”
There are many techniques that can be used hypnotically. According to the technique used you might feel energy gently moving through your body. Or you might feel like you are coming back to life, or have a profound feeling of calm.
Many of my clients enjoy learning self-hypnotic techniques, for the following:
1. Open up more creativity
