Can Anyone Be Hypnotised?

Strangely, most people who come to see me are privately wondering "Will he be able to hypnotise me?" The answer is YES!

Everyone can enter the hypnotic state with a hypnotherapist with whom he or she feels empathy, using the right techniques. Often, the best hypnotic subjects are intelligent people who are able to visualise well.

A better name for hypnosis is daydreaming. Yes, that's right - when you're daydreaming you have actually hypnotised yourself! As long as you can daydream, Hypnotherapy IS Daydreamingyou will be able to go into hypnosis. All I do is relax you and I give you things to daydream about. It's as simple as that. I could quite accurately call myself a "daydreamologist"!

You have two minds in your brain. They compete for resources. It'slike a PC running two applications, say Excel and Word. Sometimes, Word is to the fore, at other times you are working on Excel, so it comes to the fore. When your Unconscious Mind is taking more resources, that's hypnosis. So whenever you need to do something that uses your Unconscious more, you hypnotise yourself in seconds. In practice this means when you're struggling to remember something.or when you are trying to visualise something. These are examples of when you would hypnotise yourself.

Children are easily hypnotised and can benefit greatly. On this note, you are strongly advised to ensure that your therapist has volunteered for vetting by HM Government under the Disclosure Act. My Disclosure No. is 110100007316084. I will offer the document for scrutiny to anyone who wishes to be re-assured.
