It’s a question hypnotists and hypnotherapists get asked all the time…
“How does hypnosis work?”
… Usually followed by:
“Can you get stuck in hypnosis?”
“What’s the likelihood of doing something that goes against your will?” (Enter the clucking chicken).
Yep, there’s no disputing it: for the average “Joe” on the street, hypnosis manages to amaze and raise eyebrows in equal measures.
But the fact of the matter is, hypnosis is real. And what’s more, It’s been scientifically proven to treat a host of physical, emotional and mental issues – safely and with no hocus pocus!
So if you’re new to hypnosis, or you’re looking for an easy way to explain it to your subjects (or skeptics!), check out the above video created by the folks at Brain Stuff.
And if you’d like to improve your own hypnotic language skills – be sure to get the Hypnotic Language Shortcut System. These cards are a fantastic tool regardless of whether you’re a hypnotist, or just looking to become more influential when communicating with others. They’re also free for a limited time– so click here to get yours.
I didn’t find this to be something I would use to explain hypnosis to a potential client. Too over-the-top cutesy and it brought up stuff that should be left out of any helpful explanation. I’m surprised Igor is promoting this.
Hi George! Thank you for your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
I was hypnotized once when I was going to college because I was having a fear when having to take a test. My professor took me over to a hypnotherapist to see if he could correct my problem and boy did it work.
Thank you for sharing your hypnosis experience Gloria! We’re glad you had a positive experience with hypnosis. 🙂
That thing you did at the beginning, with the spiral and the chill ambient music and the mesmerizingly soothing voice… that’s exactly what I do.
Hi Oren! Thanks for writing in!
