What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?
There is no single experience that everyone has.
You may notice:
Greater relaxation
Focused attention
Less awareness of distractions
Increased absorption in suggestions or imagery
A comfortable feeling of mental focus
You do not need to become unconscious for hypnosis.
You can remain:
Aware.
Able to hear.
Able to think.
Able to respond.
And:
In control of your choices.
Hypnosis Is Not Mind Control
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding hypnosis is that the hypnotherapist somehow takes control of you.
That is not the goal.
You remain capable of:
Thinking.
Speaking.
Moving.
Accepting or rejecting suggestions.
And deciding whether you want to continue.
What Can Hypnotherapy Be Used For?
People may consider hypnotherapy as complementary support for areas including:
Anxiety
Stress
Overthinking
Confidence
Fears and phobias
Performance
Habits
Motivation
Sleep-related concerns
For anxiety specifically, symptoms can include excessive worry, avoidance, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems and physical sensations such as a racing heart, trembling, dizziness and shortness of breath.
What Happens during a Hypnotherapy Session?
A personalised session may involve:
Discussing what you want to change.
Exploring relevant triggers and patterns.
Focused attention.
Relaxation.
Hypnotic suggestions.
Visualisation.
Mental rehearsal.
And imagining yourself responding differently to situations that previously triggered an unwanted reaction.
Visualisation, mindfulness and breathing strategies are also recognised relaxation techniques that can help people manage stress.
Hypnotherapy for Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety can create a cycle where you:
Experience a trigger.
Imagine something going wrong.
Notice anxiety in your body.
Become worried about the anxiety itself.
Then:
Avoid.
Avoidance may provide temporary relief but can contribute to anxiety continuing. Established anxiety treatment can therefore include gradually confronting feared situations and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.
Hypnotherapy may be used as complementary support alongside appropriate healthcare rather than as a replacement for psychological or medical treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I Be Unconscious during Hypnosis?
No. Hypnosis does not require unconsciousness. You can remain aware of what is happening throughout the experience.
Will I Lose Control?
No. You retain your ability to think, respond and make choices.
What If I Can't Be Hypnotised?
There is no requirement to experience a dramatic trance. People experience hypnosis differently, and individual responses vary.
Can Hypnotherapy Help Anxiety?
Hypnotherapy may be used as complementary support for anxiety-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours. If anxiety is ongoing, overwhelming or interfering with everyday life, Healthdirect recommends speaking with a doctor or mental-health professional. Established treatments include psychological therapies such as CBT, lifestyle approaches and, when appropriate, medicines.
