Hypnosis Allows one to Cement One's Resolve to Change

Whenever someone wants to accomplish something and struggles to do so, there is perhaps an emotional barrier between that resolve and the decision to accomplish a worthwhile goal they have chosen. The decision typically has been made by an individual to bring about the execution of that task; however, the continuity of behavioral follow-through may wane. Concentration, the cornerstone of hypnosis, is best achieved when one is relaxed. The concentrated effort to resolve an issue that one has is tantamount to hypnosis. The decision to change that issue for the better is magnified in the hypnosis session and the sustained focus to harness a new set of decision- and behavior-patterns throughout the day is enhanced. Thus, one is empowered in the hypnotic process with regard to the goal of changing one's life, which is nothing more than the composite of thoughts and behaviors one experiences.

Whether through the use of medical hypnosis in the amelioration of acute or chronic pain, or for the purpose of accomplishing a specific goal activity in sports, social behaviors (extinguishing blushing, managing social phobias, conquering fear of speaking in front of groups), health concerns (smoking or chewing tobacco; drinking alcohol excessively), or confidence and competence improvement (test-taking; task-performance enhancement) hypnosis can be a powerful tool in helping one to pull it all together. Depending on the client, I use variations of the above components–relaxation, rhythmic breathing, and guided imagery–to induce the hypnotic trance in which suggested scripts are virtually written and structured by the client. Many people from many walks of life have come to the San Antonio Hypnosis Center (SAHC) to accomplish many of the above goals. Fear of driving over these new ‘fly-away’ overpasses (‘ribbons in the sky’) brought two people to the SAHC in the same week. The fear was too much for them, causing them both to pull their car over and change drivers: “Fortunately my friend was riding with me! I don’t know what I would have done!” Crisis situations often bring people to our office. Sometimes it’s not one thing, but the one thing on top of all the others that results in making a decision to change an aspect of one’s lifestyle, whether it was a doctor telling them they really should lose weight for their health, or seeing the deleterious effects that smoking had on a close friend or loved one. http://www.sahypnosis.net
