Why do people fear hypnosis?

Alpha-Power - Best mental and physical health with hypnosis ...
Because of the negative images portrayed by television, films, and some hypnotists who wanted to impress by presenting hypnosis with false claims. People tend to think they will be controlled by the hypnotist. Not true! The hypnotist does not have powers, merely knowledge. He can guide you into hypnosis but there is nothing you will do against your will. If you look at hypnosis programs, no one is being dragged to the stage - they are all volunteers.

Using words, a soothing tone, mental imagery and various exercises and techniques (such as deep breathing) to induce a pleasant, lethargic state to begin with. Not at all. No one under hypnosis can be induced to do anything against his or her will. Whatever moral and ethical codes you hold in a normal waking state will still be in place under hypnosis. You can actually lie when in hypnosis. Your unconscious mind was formed when you were about age five. Its job is to protect and help you.

What about people's fear of injury? Do parents and teachers sometime worry too much about this?

Welcome to Disabled Student!
from Dr. Lawrence Epple) In my experience it is the norm for parents to be overly concerned about the possibility of injury. Because of issues with balance and coordination many kids with CP fall down a lot. It is not uncommon for me to speak to a Mom or Dad that wants to protect the child from this. Usually the child is just fine with this and wants to run and play as best he or she can.

What about the fear factor? Why do I fear quitting so much?

Quit Smoking
I have found this to be the number one concern among most quitters. In fact, fear stops more smokers from quitting than any other factor. When you understand why you're afraid to quit smoking you won't be afraid anymore. You'll handle the withdrawal period with authority and without feeling like you're going to be "missing something." Only if you insist.

What's to fear?

No-Scalpel Vasectomy - Dr. Kurt P. Helgerson, MD, PC
Skin bruising is common, and is harmless. About 2% of patients have more pain than they like, but with antibiotics and pain medications, this almost always resolves soon. It is more likely to occur if there's bleeding into the scrotum from a broken blood vessel due to over-activity; the less you move for two days after the procedure, the more you reduce that risk. If bleeding occurs, one half of the scrotum would feel thick.

Why do people fear swimming in water?

FAQ Art of Swimming
There are many possible ways for people to develop fears. I describe one cause as “Something Nasty In the Woodshed” (from Stella Gibbons novel “Cold Comfort Farm”) and this usually the result of a nasty experience in the water. Another possible cause is that because the person has not yet learnt how to move and float in the water they fear they may fall down and not be able to right themselves.

Do people under hypnosis go to sleep or become unconscious?

Art of WellBeing
No. A person should not expect to go to sleep. Hypnosis is a hyper-state of awareness that feels very relaxing. The person is completely aware of everything that is occurring in the surrounding environment, as well as that which is happening in the inner mind. Most researchers in the field of hypnosis feel that hypnosis is a state of consciousness somewhere between being awake and being asleep.

DO PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE COMING OUT OF HYPNOSIS?

A person may choose to stay in hypnosis after an experienced hypnotist asks them to come out of it. The reason being, it is such a relaxed feeling of enjoyment, they prefer to stay hypnotized awhile longer. The person then goes to sleep, and awakes as usual. In self-hypnosis you have complete control, and set your own time limit. There has never been a documented case of someone unable to come out of hypnosis.

The hypnotherapists do not wish to hypnotise people who don?ft want it really. Neither do I. Sometimes I have sessions with people who have been brought to hypnosis forced by their families and wants to look like as if they are volunteer. Such type of people resist to hypnosis but in the end they get hypnotised. However, hypnotherapy is not useful for such type of people. Therefore before deciding to hypnotise people, I always perform a pre-testing for at least an hour.

Recommendation of friends, relatives, neighbors, library and or your general medical practitioner rather than on yellow page ads would be a good source. When you call the dental office be up front about your fears; don't try to hide them. Good offices have good telephone receptionists who identify themselves by name and ask how they can be of help. Request that the doctor meet with you without doing any treatment for the first visit. You should expect to pay for the doctor's time.

Some people are skeptical of hypnotherapy because they associate it with stage hypnosis, it is important to remember that what you see on the stage is simply a show, and NOT therapy. People think that we have the ability to take control over the clients mind and have them do anything; however we know that this is not the case in reality. In fact you can not be made to do anything against your values, morals or beliefs.
