Self-Hypnosis Can Teach You To Manage Your Life
Use the proven principles of hypnotherapy to change how your mind and body react to life’s events.
Hypnotic suggestion begins by helping you achieve a state of alert mental focus. You’re calm, but your mind remains sharply attuned to what’s going on around you. In this relaxed frame of mind, you’re able to receive suggestions about changing the way you think and feel about life events or yourself.
The power of suggestion helps you change how you see yourself. For instance, if you’re concerned about your weight, your constant, perhaps unspoken self-talk is that you don’t deserve to eat healthy food or enjoy exercising. Hypnosis opens your mind to the possibility that you deserve the many benefits that come from taking care of your physical health.
Hypnotherapy Can Change Your Thinking and Your Life
If you have a lifelong habit of procrastination, you may be highly critical of yourself. You may even feel procrastination is a hopeless trait you’re stuck with. Hypnotic suggestion replaces those thoughts with the idea that you have control over your habits and the ability to make the right choices.
Hypnotherapy takes negative self-talk and replaces it with positive suggestions. You use these suggestions to replace negative thinking with a more positive view of yourself.
In a normal therapy session, your hypnotherapist provides those suggestions. When you use online hypnosis, your download provides them.
Self-Hypnosis Is Proven To Work
The power of hypnotic suggestion is well documented by research studies. In one large, randomized study, for instance, more than 1,200 pregnant women were separated into three groups. One group received standard care, one group learned relaxation techniques, and the third group received training in self-hypnosis.
The study aimed to help women manage the stress and pain of childbirth. At the end of the study, women in the third group had far lower levels of fear and pain than the other groups.
In another study, 84 depressed patients were split into two groups. One group received cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and the second group received therapy that included hypnotic techniques. After 16 weeks, both groups had improved, but the patients in the second group had much lower levels of depression, anxiety and hopelessness thanks to the addition of hypnosis.
