Choosing Hypnotherapy: Will it benefit me?

By Barrie St John

Everyone can benefit from self hypnosis, to a certain degree. There is no doubt that some people are more suggestible than others are. In other words, they are more likely to accept suggestion and make it part of their inner world. It may be because they are able to relax deeply with less effort, or because they truly believe in the messages they are receiving. To what degree a person is able to benefit from self hypnosis depends on many things, but I believe the most important factor is commitment.

Even the top literature on the subject, both modern and not so modern, says it’s not really about the depth of hypnosis and not really about the suggestibility of the person. Most of the books from writers who have worked with hundreds or thousands of people – as I have – will tell you depth is not that important. People don’t have to be lying on the floor off someplace in a ridiculous deep state and they don’t have to be highly susceptible to suggestion, either.

Hypnosis is a natural occurrence that we all experience from time to time. At some point during the day, you’re likely to drift off into an altered state of consciousness. This place in your mind that lies between being awake and being asleep is called hypnosis. 

Guided hypnosis, either in person or through the use of audio recordings, is just a more productive and systematic way of reaching this state. It is a great natural aid and can be very therapeutic, but you have to be motivated to experience its benefits. Of course, if you set out to prove something will not work, well then, it won’t. That is the power of the mind that we are working with here. If you aren’t open to the suggestion in the first place, then it is hardly likely to have a deep, meaningful receipt. Refusal or disbelief does not bring about change, consciously or unconsciously.

Success comes down to a commitment to oneself and a willingness to receive the benefits of relaxation and unconscious acceptance that can only come from repeated use of hypnosis. Audio sessions are a great for this. They are a lower cost option as compared to visiting a professional hypnotherapist, and they give you the freedom to choose when you want to listen. The results are greatly improved when you use them daily, so make sure to listen as often as you can. With a little effort, everyone can benefit from hypnotherapy.
