Common Uses Of Hypnosis The better question is, "For what can't hypnosis be used?" In actuality there's nothing for which hypnosis can not be used. For every known type of operation--even open heart surgery, hypnosis has been successfully used at least once in lieu of anesthesia. Hypnosis is used to control bleeding and facilitate speed of recovery. The more popularly known uses of hypnosis are for weight loss, stopping smoking, and stress management. Suggestions are used for turning off one's desire to smoke or eat excessively or non nutritiously and to be relaxed in the face of stressful situation. In reality, for just about every use, there's an expert. For instance, from my personal experience in handling dental pain, I can say I'm an expert on painless dentistry and produced a cd program for that purpose. That's right, you can have fillings, caps, and even root canals without the use of Novocain--that's how powerful suggestion can be. However, I would not say I'm an expert on painless surgery although what I do with painless dentistry could be easily used with surgery. Common Uses Of Hypnosis There are those who are familiar with the twelve steps of AA ... [more...]

Early Uses Of Hypnosis Professional athletes are often willing to try almost anything in the hopes of improving their performance. As the world of athletics entered the realm of really big money, anything that could give an athlete even the slightest edge could potentially be worth millions of dollars over the course of a career and many more millions in product sponsorship. While most people are aware of the physical practice regimes that professional athletes undertake, many are unaware of the importance placed upon mental preparation. It is mental preparation that often separates gifted athletes from successful ones. Over the past several decades there have been many clear illustrations of how mental preparation, and in particular, hypnosis, have been used to successfully improve sports performance.

The Early Uses Of Hypnosis Religion, self-help theories, and mainstream healing modalities share one common objective. They all seek to alleviate human suffering and move individuals and society toward a more desirable state in which a perception of happiness is achieved. Nevertheless, they differ in their basic approaches. Religion focuses on belief and faith; mainstream healing, on evidence-based scientific research, and self-help, on a combination of both - albeit with a focus on wishful thinking and the charisma of the author or presenter. All claim to be effective. Yet, considering their exclusive characteristics all tend to be rather short-sited and limited in their approaches. In actuality, each of them simultaneously contain partial truths while being devoid of others. It is odd how an effective theoretical concept originates. Almost a decade ago I was confronted by a series of medical doctors who were fascinated by my abilities as a clinical hypnotherapist. However, as hard-nosed scientists they were accustomed to questioning the validity of any accomplishments or claims that lacked sufficient peer-reviewed literature describing supporting systematic investigations. This led me to quickly discover over 10,000 of such studies, which openly supported the efficacy of hypnosis in medical and mental health interventions. This ... [more...]
