Hypnosis without the myths
Stage shows ruined the word “hypnosis”. Because of them half of all people are convinced they will be made to crow like a rooster, and the other half that their memory will be erased.
What it really is
Hypnotherapy is a state of focused attention in which a person hears themselves better. You are not asleep. You remember everything. You can stand up and leave at any moment. The only thing that changes is that the inner critic goes quiet, and what is usually drowned out becomes audible.
Hypnosis cannot make someone do what they do not want. It can only help them stop standing in their own way.
Who it suits
The method works best with addictions, fears, insomnia and psychosomatics — that is, wherever the body has already learned a harmful script by heart and repeats it automatically.
And it does not work when someone arrives “to be repaired” without intending to change anything. That is worth saying honestly from the start.
