How Does Hypnosis Work? Just About Complicated

I am often asked the same question: How does hypnosis work? What can be influenced? How can hypnotherapy affect your life, relieve a symptom? I decided to write in simple accessible words, with examples from practice.

They come to me with disappointments, questions to themselves, with dead ends. There come those who are squeezed by injustice, resentment stabs in the chest, horror weakens their legs, attraction - blows the roof off … They ask me to rewind time back in order to find a moment when a harmful impression influenced their personality. And we are immersed in a story that differs from any others in its drama, its content and, most importantly, the author.

We are working with this story, sorting out pictures-memories into situations, sorting out the experience accumulated over life, correcting the pictures on the walls, and sometimes - wiping the dust on the skeletons in the closets.

The first and most difficult thing that a person has to face, in addition to gaining courage and willingness to work on oneself, is the search for the very question from which to start.

Together we look for something to catch on and plunge down, we go down to the source. As a rule, a person is afraid to see, hear, feel something there, because he does not remember or does not understand what is “terrible” in him all this time sits and gives discomfort, interferes with living a full life. My practice shows that in the overwhelming majority of cases, the problem arises from negative emotions - resentment, fear, anger. We find it, sound it and dissolve it. Not everything is so simple, one click of your fingers will not achieve this. Behind many stories there is a long-term load, which is no longer so easy to rewind, although it is possible.

A person leaves a successful immersion with even more questions to himself. Only now these questions are new qualities and, most importantly, now it is clear where to look for answers to most of them.

My visitors describe this state - rethinking - as pleasantly light, uplifted. For some - a feeling of deliverance, as if he had dropped a load, spread his wings behind his back. For others, it is a relief when, instead of a negative emotion, there is understanding and the absence of the need to once again follow a false scenario (“dance the rake”).

Further, with the permission of my clients, but without disclosing their names, I will describe some real cases from my practice, which will best explain what you can and should work with under hypnosis.

One of the visitors came with self-doubt, body stiffness in difficult situations, with shortness of breath (very often I meet a similar symptom) - we dive, and there - an 11 month old baby was left alone, and pillows fell on him. There is nothing to breathe, the movements are constrained, it is difficult to change anything, it is scary, and besides, there is an offense at the parents that they left one … A scar like a pattern of neurons lay firmly on the plastic brain. What to do? We send ourselves to help, but an adult - we enjoy our own support (and in hypnosis it is very easy to do this - to allow ourselves to react in a new way) and now - the symptom has disappeared - and the person easily moves up the ladder of his own life.

The next visitor showed his mother something extremely important at the age of three, and in response received ignorance and a complete lack of understanding. As a result, he made a decision that he needed to hide what is important to himself, further - that is not worthy of attention, even further - that ignoring the most significant is his way of life. So he grew up, over and over again finding his own paradigm inherent in childhood, confirmation. Lives, but in the shadow of his own fear to declare himself. When the client finds himself in this situation during the session, we forgive the mother, let go of the feeling of resentment. The result is 4 sessions and a completely new person defending his ideas and principles.

Another case - insomnia - not a lot, not a little - 8 years. A person cannot sleep, and that's it. And then, of course, it’s bad at work - after all, he’s not collected, fatigue takes its toll, who needs such an employee. Hence the fear - they will expel, and also fear - I am not like everyone else. We find out, sort it out, dive in, it is difficult to go down like this, the darkness is around, the client does not see anything, no pictures, no emotions, only big cat's eyes. It turns out that at the age of 9 months, the cat jumped on the face while the baby was sleeping. Just like that - the cat jumped into the crib. And it was forgotten for a long time, and slept normally all my life, and then a strong stress, my chest was squeezed with fear - the dream was gone. Result - sleep was restored in 3 sessions.

And there are many such stories. One on top of the other - resentments, fears, guilt, anger … All these emotions prevent us from living and building healthy partnerships, prevent us from enjoying life, lock people in the four walls of their own insecurity and take away hope. And deliverance is so close - you don't need to fly to the other end of the planet for it - it is inside every person. Hypnosis, which allows you to go down inside yourself, is, in simple words, one of the aggregate states of consciousness, akin to a lucid dream, which, in combination with the work of a psychologist-hypnotherapist, works wonders.

And so you ask: well, ok - have worked, but is it possible to change the realities of life by changing your childish attitude to something? The answer here is of course yes. But behind this “yes” there is a complex multidimensional fabric of your world, now woven from new possibilities that arise when you remove the long-forgotten and already native burden of limitations that you imposed on yourself a long time ago.
