Three Mental Conditions That Hypnosis Can Help Overcome
When we hear the word “hypnosis”, our instinct is to think of a magician, playing a trick on his show. But hypnosis isn’t only used on magic tricks as what most of us think; it is also widely used in psychological and medicinal fields. Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness where one apparently loses his or her power over voluntary action and is actively responsive to instructions and suggestions.
Hypnosis is commonly associated to affect only one’s mind, but the mind and body are inseparably joined working hand in hand; and through the mind, the body could also be controlled. This is why, “what we think, we become.” It’s believed that the mind is so powerful that it can make you achieve great things, and not just through the mind but also the body.
It has been medically used on people who want to quit their vices or to lose weight, and though unpopular to most, hypnosis can actually aid people who are experiencing something that might be in need of therapy.
Here are 3 of the most mental or psychological conditions that hypnosis can help with:
Anger Management Problem
The first aim that hypnosis could do with your anger problems is to discover the root cause. Anger problems usually come from past experiences, and as we all know, experiences greatly affect our behavior and reactions towards people, things, or experiences.
Your hypnotherapist would work with your conscious and unconscious state to help you change how your mind processes thoughts on anger and negativity. It would involve techniques that would put you on your relaxed state and you would be given instructions or pieces of advice that would help you control your anger.
The aim is to make you feel calm and relaxed instead of feeling angry and irritated when faced with negative scenarios. To be accustomed to a calm state when facing a stressful situation will allow you to make better decisions and react to matters appropriately. The duration of your hypnotherapy session will differ depending on your response to the method. This therapy would also help you to deal with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Low Self-Confidence
To boost and to build are two different things. When you are boosting your confidence, it means that you know you can do it but are too afraid to do so, but when you are trying to build confidence, there is something you wanted to do but you know you are not capable of doing.
Hypnosis is used by some when undergoing therapy for self-confidence issues, but it could also be used by individuals through self-hypnosis. Self-hypnotism starts by appreciating yourself. It may feel weird at first but it needs to start within. Unknown to most of us, when you try to convince yourself about something, you are already practicing self-hypnosis.
Use your imagination as a tool to trigger the method, think of how good you’d be if you do it, imagine that you successfully did it, and set your mind that you could do better or more than what you could imagine. Make it a mantra, spend time in a quiet place, and do it. Practicing is key in self-hypnosis for confidence; you need to do it regularly and you will start to feel more capable of doing things.
Phobias
One of the extreme manifestations of fear is phobia and is often described as an irrational feeling. The cue there is that phobias are unconscious feelings, an automatic response brought by past experiences, sudden exposure to things that are new, or shock from unexpected situations. Since it is an unconscious response, hypnosis can deal with it by controlling the mind.
Hypnosis will inspire your mind to think and analyze the scenario first before reacting. It will practice your brain process to stay calm and determine whether the situation you are in, with that something you are afraid of, is really terrifying or dangerous. With self-hypnosis, you will be able to learn how to determine what you should be scared of and what past phobias you should get over.
The mind is indeed a powerful thing. And while powerful, it can also be frail which is why mental health is an important aspect of a person’s well-being. Being healthy doesn’t just mean having a healthy body — it means having a healthy mind, too.
