When we talk about hypnotism we don’t mean those stage shows where you are invited onto the stage & hypnotised to quack like a duck every time someone says the word ‘orange’. Far away from that gimmicky end of the spectrum, the deep state of relaxation achieved in hypnosis can be the first part in overcoming problems like stress, anxiety, & in general help you to become a more positive person. As your analytical & critical faculties are bypassed, hypnotists believe it is possible to make telling suggestions to your subconscious mind. You are conscious throughout the process & can choose to wake up at any time. It’s all about harnessing the power of your own mind, rather than being a magic trick.
