Depression has many faces. From mild depressive moods to severe depression: hypnotherapy can help.
Depression is the most widespread mental illness in the world.
The WHO estimates that every fifth person suffers from depression in their lifetime. If 20% of all people in their life go through a depression, then it is even more important for me to make hypnotherapy known in relation to depression.
Also in my work as a hypnotist in Zurich, I treat depressive clients almost every day.
The effect of hypnosis can be a great relief for depressed people. The work with the unconscious can shorten the length of depressive phases massively. It is also possible to prevent further relapses into depression with hypnosis. Before, during and after depression: hypnosis helps.
In order to understand why something is, we have to find out how it came about. We can also take precautionary action if we interpret the first signs correctly. Depression can have many causes. Generally speaking, it is one of the possible reactions to strong external influences.
With very rare exceptions, we are not born depressed, but develop depression throughout our lives. This can happen gradually, with small negative changes. A sudden development is also possible. Those affected describe this as "falling into a hole".
Depression can affect anyone. No age or gender is immune to the depressive mood. However, there are certain character traits that can promote a disease. It is interesting to note that about two thirds of the diagnosed depressives are women.
It remains to be seen whether this is due to the fact that women are more likely to seek psychological treatment or whether they tend to adopt the depression-promoting, negative ways of thinking.
Another possibility is described below for male depression. It is well known that ways of thinking can influence our way of life and determine what we focus on.
Therefore, depressive episodes are more common in people with certain negative attitudes. Below are the scientifically recognized negative ways of living and thinking and the reasons for depression:
Fear and anxiety can always protect us from threats or accidents. Unfortunately, it can also prevent us from making important decisions. In certain moments it is simply important to take the step. If we don't, we run the risk of falling into a spiral of being blocked.
So fear can have a great influence on the mood.
The helplessness makes us a boat without oars. Whether it was learned or whether the situation is actually tricky makes no difference. An important aspect of mental health is the feeling of having an influence in the world. Even if it's small things that you can determine, you still make a difference. When helplessness spreads, it can quickly lead to thoughts that reduce your self-worth.
If you expect something firmly, then it will most certainly come true. Not only the hypnotherapist knows this. The self-fulfilling prophecy is one of the main reasons why the pessimist has a hard time in life. With the attitude that everything will go wrong, many things will go wrong. As soon as the expected arrives and your whole life collapses over you, the pessimist's assumptions are confirmed. So next time he expects even worse, etc. This spiral causes many negative things Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
In addition, pessimistically inclined people are often suspicious. This often leads to the fact that they rarely have good experiences in social situations. Thus the social safety net is destroyed or never created.
Every child who learns to walk knows: sometimes you fall on your face. The wrong reaction would then be to project failure onto one's own value. If analysis of the problem only leads to the thoughts "I am so bad", then this destroys self-esteem. If you look for all causes of problems only in yourself, sooner or later you will destroy yourself.
"I'm worthless" is not a good starting point for anything. Other people notice consciously or unconsciously the inner attitude and react accordingly. Someone who thinks he is bad himself, is usually also found bad by others. Also here the self-fulfilling prophecy comes into play. The human being as a social animal slides so quickly into depression.
As we have seen, depression affects almost all aspects of life. Therefore it is important to make the hypnotherapy as comprehensive as possible. For the successful treatment of depression with hypnosis most of the phenomena of trance are needed.
For the changes to be sustainable and for there to be no relapse, the dark cloud of depression must be fought on all three fronts: past, present and future.
So by means of hypnosis therapy the causes can be solved, the being can be strengthened and the future can be enlightened. In order for something to change, something must be changed. We pay attention to the two most important parts that are missing in the perception of depressives: the meaning and the energy. The sense to fill the emptiness with meaning and the energy to do what is good for us.
In order to know why something is, we must first find out how it came about. This is also the case with healing depression.
It's never too late for a good childhood
Regression does not mean travelling back into a past life, but rather the return journey in one's own memory. Regression as one of the most important trance phenomena offers us great possibilities. If we can travel back directly into the burdening memory, it is also possible for us to change or work through it. This form of hypnosis therapy makes it possible for us to process the personal, stressful life events. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
If the depression has a clear starting point, i.e. a traumatic experience, then this is of course the first clue. This trauma must usually be processed so that the depression can be treated properly. We use unconscious resources and those that were not available to the younger person in the traumatic experience. In addition, it is often important that the hypnotherapist himself is present in such situations. During the processing of traumatic experiences one relives them, but the perception is changed in the hypnotic trance. On this white the painful memories can be weakened and fade away.
Everything that lies behind can be addressed in this way. Even experiences that may not be perceived as particularly harmful at first glance. Especially experiences with parents often have a pink shimmer, although they often have a great influence on one's own perception. For example, if you have never been good enough for a parent, this can cause a negative self-perception, which can then lead to depression. Also bullying or the like often comes to the fore when it comes to this topic.
In general everything that leads to depressive thinking should be judged first. One of the sayings in the world of hypnosis is: "It is never too late for a beautiful childhood". In this context one can take the statement further and say that it is never too late for a positive past. A positive view of the past also has a positive influence on the present. So a sense of a good self can reappear. Also the energy that has been wasted on brooding over the past can be used for better things.
If the experience is disturbed, it can already be a great help to feel differently in the hypnotic trance. Therefore it is important to be able to experience the now, even without the influence of the past or the imagined future. In hypnosis we can at least temporarily dampen the negative feelings. If the thoughts are brought to the Now, the sense for oneself can also arise again more and more. To live in the moment and not to be burdened by old pigtails also brings more energy.
The first aid in depression is already the positive experience. Already in the first few minutes of the trance the positive feeling can arise. Such a positive feeling as the depressed person has not experienced for a long time.
In this way a happier mood can be experienced, which triggers many things. Especially the realization that it can pass. That there is something else outside the dark cloud, maybe even sunshine. When we go to these limits of perception and maybe even redraw them, it gives back a lot of sense and energy.
The most important aspect of hypnotherapy for depression is the retrieval of resources. Even the smallest spark of energy or motivation can have a great effect. In order for the resources to be released, energy-sapping ways of thinking must make room for new, more positive prospects. The self-perception must move away from "I am bad" to "I can do it".
Among other things, the unconscious contains a huge filter system. If we change the perspective into the positive, other information is also let through, which was filtered out before. Where one has only seen the negative before, good things can suddenly be experienced. By changing the filter settings, the sense of oneself as a balanced whole can also reappear, and not just as someone who only experiences negative things.
Logically, a depression does not disappear overnight, but perhaps the day after tomorrow. That is why it is important that we hold on to small successes. For us to have small successes, we must also set ourselves small and manageable goals. "From Monday I will no longer be depressed" is then no meaningful attitude. Depressives are often very hard on themselves. But for small successes it is important not to put too much pressure on yourself. "On Monday I get up before 10 am" would be a better alternative.
If we use hypnosis to set the filter on these successes, then everything no longer looks so gloomy. And the successes also give us a good feeling and a good sense of our own abilities. Let us stick to the small steps in the Now we can push back the dark cloud step by step. In this way we can bring back more and more resources. The energy then builds up exponentially with the "the more the more" principle.
Even though it may seem far away, it may be possible for depressed people to enjoy life again. Little moments of joy that show that not everything is bad. These moments of trance we can promote with hypnosis. So that you can take a step back and have a good laugh again. The capable hypnotherapist naturally also exploits the possibilities of dark humour.
It is important to come out of yourself when you are depressed. It's not just to stay indoors, but to get outdoors. The energy for this can be released by various methods of hypnosis. So it can then happen "as if by magic" that you grow beyond yourself.
The winged expression is "the learned helplessness". Thereby people experience themselves as completely helpless and incapable of having an influence on the world. They limit their scope of action in such a way that only a negative result can come out. The feeling of powerlessness is strengthened by every failure and thus learned. During hypnosis in the Now we use different trance phenomena so that the client can experience every situation independently again.
This way the helplessness is forgotten. In addition, the successes that have been stamped as "coincidence" are analysed and linked to the own abilities. Failures are realistically attributed to the external circumstances concerned, no longer just to oneself.
Some things can't be done in your head alone. In depression it is therefore always important that the client becomes physically active. This does not necessarily have to be extensive sport. Even small activities can help. A little walk, for example. The desire for exercise can be encouraged with hypnosis. The stamina required for regular exercise can also be strengthened. Then it is also possible that at the beginning the movement is reduced to just getting up. However, if this is done regularly and a habit can develop, the morning will have started much better.
Many depressives describe the future as something dark and gloomy. Not seeing a future for oneself also makes it difficult to plan or make progress.
This naturally also promotes a depressive mood.
With hypnosis we build piece by piece the future, so that it can become bright and positive again.
The light at the end of the depression tunnel, so to speak.
In order to achieve this, I put my clients with depressions into the hypnotic state that makes it possible to imagine different scenarios. We imagine a future in which the depression has disappeared.
Feeling different can also show that it is not a horror without end, but that change is possible.
Hypnosis can help very well against depressions of all kinds. With the threefold approach in the treatment of depression with hypnosis therapy the chains of depression can be broken. Step by step the hole is left and the dark clouds are driven away.
With the effect of hypnosis therapy, depressive moods can be treated directly in the unconscious and a positive mood can be created inside.
Hypnosis as well as meditation are very trendy. More and more people want to be more in harmony with themselves. But more and more often the question arises: What is the difference between hypnosis and meditation?
Again and again in my hypnosis practice I am asked this question.
In order to be able to compare the two practices properly we should distinguish between what one does alone, namely self-hypnosis and meditation, and what one is guided from the outside, such as guided meditation and hypnosis.
In addition, there are of course also different forms of meditation, some of which are different. While some focus on something, others simply let themselves "happen" and practice mindfulness.
So there are different forms of both meditation and hypnosis. But it connects them more than it distinguishes.
Why are you interested in meditation or Hypnosis? Most people who have chosen are interested in the search for change, in the search for an access to the inside. Perhaps even in search of enlightenment.
Mostly they have noticed that there is more to you than just your conscious mind. And meditation as well as hypnosis can be a way to get in touch with your inner self.
The connoisseurs of trance know that a life in harmony with oneself brings balance, health and understanding. To become a team with the unconscious is therefore worthwhile in any case.
Hypnosis very often has a certain shady aftertaste. One thinks of manipulation and sleazy hypnotists. Meditation, on the contrary, has the appearance of pure enlightenment. You just sit and close your eyes. This difference is probably mainly due to the respective marketing.
However, what most forms of meditation have in common is that most beginners do not know exactly when it "worked". Very often practitioners then sit there with their eyes closed and wait for it to feel different. It is then usually not quite clear if and what should change in their feelings. If the goal is not clear, it can sometimes be hard to find the right way.
As someone who has had a lot of experience with meditation and (self-)hypnosis, I can say that both have the same effect. Both hypnosis and meditation create a trance. The trance is so relevant in spiritual events that it has many names in different teachings. As many names as it has, the same thing is usually described. It is a state of lightness and carelessness that combines both focus and creativity. Many also describe it as "all thoughts as well as none at the same time" as "being in flow" and "in harmony with oneself".
The trance can be understood above all as the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious mind. As a state between awake and sleeping, the trance connects the two inner parts. This can also be measured in the brain.
If we measured brain waves with an EEG, at Mastering meditation and mastering self-hypnosis would probably result in something quite similar. Namely one more in alpha and theta waves. These also occur naturally, namely during concentration and as a preliminary stage to dreaming. That's why even experienced meditators and practiced self-hypnotists report of colored images in front of the inner eye.
Grundsätzlich haben also die Zustände verschiedene Namen, sehen aber am Schluss ziemlich ähnlich aus.
Now that we know that hypnosis and meditation reach the same state, it may be clear that mainly the application is different.
Because hypnosis is used to use the state of trance for change. Meditation usually has the achievement of the state as its only goal. Being in the flow alone has many positive effects, such as relaxation, stress reduction and better blood circulation.
The direct communication with the unconscious is self-hypnosis in a certain direction. Certain parts of the self are directly addressed. The unconscious parts are given suggestions for a change.
So meditation is a kind of empty hypnosis; a self-hypnosis that has the trance state as its goal. In doing so, one pays attention to what happens in the body without having any direct influence.
"Meditation seeks the trance, hypnosis uses Trance "
For absolute beginners in the field of trance I recommend the foreign induced hypnosis. That means the most effective start is when you let someone hypnotize you. Because a trained hypnotist gives us an individual access to the trance. Something that has a connection with the personal experience. And once you have experienced the trance, then you know how to feel it. With a known destination, the search is much easier.
For example, I had a client who had been going to a temple for 20 years to meditate. She said that she could solve all her issues that way. About twenty seconds after I induced the trance on her, she started to cry. Apparently there was not as much solved as she thought. After the session she told me that for the first time she felt a change inside. When she had known how her state should be, she could then also reach it herself while meditating.
So after years of hearing and reading about this inner state, she had experienced it for the first time herself. Through this, she finally knew the goal and was able to orientate her path accordingly. Also the mental images I had used in her hypnosis, she took up her meditation/self-hypnosis.
That means for the beginning I would let a professional show me the access to my inner self. This way I know afterwards during the self-hypnosis/meditation how it should feel and what I should look for.
Also for those who are practiced in meditation it is worthwhile to try out hypnosis.
More and more people suffer from sleep problems. These include problems falling asleep, complete insomnia, but also problems sleeping through the night. If these problems become chronic, they can cause a lot of negative things, up to health problems. Chemical medicine is often overwhelmed with sleep problems, which is why more and more sleeping pills are being prescribed. However, these often only bring a superficial sleep and side effects such as addiction.
If you are looking for a natural and sustainable sleep aid, then hypnosis is the right choice. Hypnosis is a healthy and lasting means to solve sleep problems and generally sleep better.
In hypnosis for sleep disorders the issues are solved that are unconscious blockages for sleep. Thus, a restful and healthy sleep can develop again. If you want to fall asleep better and sleep healthily, then hypnosis therapy against sleep problems is the right thing for you.
What are the advantages of hypnosis against sleep problems?
The hypnotic trance is not like sleeping, but it is often described as a state between awake and sleeping. For example, most people in a trance can see REM eye movements that are otherwise only visible during dreaming. With the direct access to the unconscious, hypnosis makes many things possible about sleep.
The hypnotic trance is the state of transition from awake to asleep and is therefore urgently needed for a drifting off to sleep. If we learn, for example, with self-hypnosis to bring us into this hypnotic state, then much is already done.
Sleeping is the favourite activity of every human being. Anyone who thinks that he or she has another favourite activity should replace sleeping with it. Then you quickly realize that sleeping is the favorite pastime.
As this ancient wisdom says, insomnia is a very serious condition. Sleep problems can have very serious consequences, both psychological and physical. When we can no longer sleep, our whole system tends to go on the back burner. We see the world in a distorted way, have a frosted screen and are often irritable. All kinds of achievements, whether in sports or at work, are reduced.
Also, time spent in bed and not being able to fall asleep is very distressing. When you toss and turn trying to fall asleep and just can't. When thoughts are circling or something else keeps us from sleeping. In such moments it is simply not possible to fall asleep even though you are very tired, which again brings stress and frustration.
This can drag on until you just can't anymore.
When you are trapped in the clutches of insomnia, many ways out seem more reasonable than they actually are. Sleeping pills, for example, can become addictive quite quickly. Even if they promise a quick sleep and a good night's sleep, sleep is still often described as not very restful. As a short-term help against sleep problems, sleeping pills can certainly help. However, if the problems persist for a longer period of time, something else should help you fall asleep.
In such cases it is recommended to use hypnosis. Hypnosis has many positive qualities that are important for healthy sleep. This is especially important for chronic sleep problems.
In all cases hypnosis brings immediate deep relaxation. Even the most nervous people can shut down in the hypnotic trance. This inner calm can very quickly have an effect on the main symptoms of insomnia. Feelings of physical weakness and the well-known "ground glass" are at least attenuated in trance. Also the inner dialogue usually falls silent quite quickly. In this case, the hypnotic trance acts as a reset for the system. So the inner processes that are running at full speed can be shut down.
A summary study of the effects of hypnosis on sleep has concluded that hypnosis is a promising treatment for sleep problems.
The sleep laboratory of the University of Zurich has also found that hypnosis prolongs the restful deep sleep phase by 81% and shortens the time to fall asleep by 67%.
In addition, a long-term study over 5 years has shown that hypnosis therapy helps against parasomnia. For example against sleepwalking, nightmares and bruxism.
So hypnosis also helps clinically proven against all kinds of sleep disorders. Be it difficulties in falling asleep, problems with sleeping through the night or other sleep problems.
Der Zustand der Hypnose liegt zwischen wach und schlafend. Wenn sich unser Gehirn in diesem Zustand befindet, kann es auch beginnen, sich teilweise zu regenerieren. Außerdem können die Blockaden, die einen gesunden Schlaf verhindern, gelöst werden.
Our unconscious does not keep us from sleeping for no reason, and certainly not for a long time. Sleep is such an important part for the regeneration of mind and body that the unconscious only denies us sleep in real emergencies.
Even though we may not know the reason, it is unconsciously there somewhere. The unconscious has recognized a threat it wants solved. Figuratively speaking, there's nothing like sleeping with a predator scratching at your door.
If your thoughts about insomnia are about negative things or what still needs to be done, this is another clue.
What exactly keeps someone awake differs from person to person. In a hypnosis session I often go with my clients to search for these very causes.
Of course there are also other patterns of behaviour or thinking that can affect sleep.
In hypnotherapy for sleep disorders, the causes are sought and discussed with the hypnotherapist so that they can be resolved during the hypnotic trance. These can include many things, such as the concerns discussed above or excessive caffeine or internet consumption.
When we know roughly what it is we go into the trance. This often helps to solve certain sleep disorders. Letting go consciously to sink into the hypnotic trance can already make an important difference.
With the appropriate hypnotic suggestions we can stimulate the unconscious to change.
The inner atmosphere is designed so that the problems can be solved even during sleep. Recovery is also stimulated so that the unconscious can come to rest, no matter what else is going on. In this way, a suitable state is brought in, which makes sleeping easier and releases possible tensions.
The change to this state of sleeping is practiced so that it can happen like switching off the bedside lamp. In other words, that the changeover is possible from waking to sleeping, preferably without a long intermediate phase.
The unconscious is the master of habits.
The unconscious is the master of habits. The more automatic something happens, the easier it is for us to do it. So that the conscious mind can positively influence sleep behaviour, certain rituals should also be practised. If we can let the unconscious take over at a certain time, we can also control the result.
If someone expects every night that he or she cannot sleep, this has an impact. That is why the sleep ritual includes the banishing of negative expectations.
In this way, the entire system is geared towards healthy, restful sleep.
Hypnosis is not only suitable for people with sleep problems, but also for those who generally want to improve their sleep quality. You can even use online hypnosis to have a good night.
Through the direct connection with the unconscious, sleeping through the night and recovery can be noticeably improved. And this in a completely natural and lasting way.
Smoking is unhealthy, pretty much everyone knows that these days. Not only because of lung cancer but especially because of lung health. However, the knowledge about smoking does not make stopping smoking much easier.
If you came to my site because you want to stop smoking under hypnosis, then the warnings on the cigarette pack probably did not work for you. You may need something like hypnosis in this case.
If the head alone cannot do it, then perhaps we need a solution that goes a little deeper. Jan Mion's stop smoking hypnosis usually goes a little deeper than conventional methods. For this reason, it may take longer to become a full non-smoker through hypnosis, but it usually lasts a lifetime.
The three most common aspects of smoking that make stopping smoking difficult are
These three topics are repeatedly mentioned by my clients as reasons why they cannot stop smoking on their own.
If we are somewhat familiar with the functioning of the unconscious, we see that all three are not controlled by our logical mind. Actually logical, since there are no really logical reasons for smoking.
This means that both the causes and the solution can be found in the unconscious.
True to the motto: if the conscious mind could find a solution on its own, it would have done so long ago. That's why so many attempts based solely on conscious thinking have failed.
Hypnosis now gives us the possibility to get to the root of the causes of smoking. So we solve all three directly at the source.
Many have managed to stop smoking for a short time with pure willpower. But this strategy of iron will is only effective until the first moment of weakness. With reason alone it is an almost impossible act of will to stop smoking and not to relapse. For example, under stress or after drinking alcohol, many people relapse. This is then a pattern that repeats itself. The motto is "Quitting smoking is easy, I've done it hundreds of times."
The unconscious holds the key to lasting change, as it is also the source of what hinders cessation. Abstinence from cigarettes is also possible without hypnosis, but to achieve it with good feelings, we also need an approach that includes the feelings.
In order to stop smoking sustainably through hypnosis, what the cigarette is used for must be replaced by what is really needed. For example, if someone reaches for a cigarette because he or she is stressed, then in hypnotherapy we have to show the unconscious a way to calm down without nicotine.
The advantage of hypnosis treatments is therefore not only to promote the "away from" the cigarette, but also the "towards" what is really important.
The feeling of having to smoke has put a spanner in the works for many. For some it manifests itself as a desire, for others as a craving; what they have in common is that the smoker thinks he or she cannot resist it. The addiction can run wild and so cessation is often an important focus of treatment.
Nicotine withdrawal usually comes in waves, namely when you have normally smoked. Some people can sit on an airplane for 14 hours without experiencing withdrawal symptoms, but as soon as they land they have to run to the fumoir. Withdrawal symptoms can also include anger or bingeing and many people think they would rather continue smoking than be like this.
If we follow the logic of treating addiction with hypnosis, it is clear that we need to treat the unconscious causes of the addiction. These vary from client to client, but usually have nothing directly to do with smoking. Tobacco addiction is often unconsciously linked to other issues and feelings.
When we have found these reasons and tackle them directly, the unconscious is moved away from the smoke so that the addiction can be dissolved.
Basically, habits are activities that the unconscious takes over for us. The conscious mind is simply not involved and we do things as if on autopilot.
Basically habits are activities that the unconscious takes over for us. The conscious mind is simply not involved and you do something like on autopilot. To stop these automatisms we would have to consciously monitor ourselves constantly and suppress the impulses. Especially when you have consumed alcohol, this becomes more and more difficult. In addition, many people have the feeling that something is missing. Like the cigarette after a meal.
With habits, hypnosis gives us the advantage that we can directly stop or replace the habitual impulse. Thus, it requires much less or no conscious control.
Many smokers find it difficult not to join in when others smoke. The cigarette often acts as a social glue that brings people together. In addition, seeing often activates imitation and the desire to smoke.
Hypnosis can help us to distance ourselves in such a way that the smoking of others can no longer penetrate to our innermost being.
The best known side effect of regular smoking cessation methods is weight gain. This occurs with normal treatments because the problem has not been solved, but often only relocated.
So the hole wasn't filled with the real thing, but is simply temporarily plugged with food instead of smoke.
So to stay free of side effects, we need to find the essentials and replace nicotine with them.
With my kind of treatment, the whole system is directed towards more health. If all parts of the inner system help, the side effects can be reduced.
The relaxed approach with hypnosis also reduces other stress symptoms and side effects. In addition, I always stimulate the self-healing powers of the lungs to recover.
The smoking cessation with hypnosis is suitable for all who want to become non-smokers. It does not matter whether you "believe" in hypnosis or not.
Saying "no" to cigarettes and meaning "no" is generally possible. Hypnosis is also suitable for very heavy smokers, as the reduction can take place in stages rather than from one day to the next.
The goal of placing self-determination and self-respect above the satisfaction of needs is also universally valid.
The important thing is that you are willing to participate. But this should be the case anyway, if you have decided to become a non-smoker. People who are afraid of gaining weight can benefit from the effects of hypnosis.
Hypnosis is neither magic nor a magic pill. Unfortunately, in hypnosis therapy we cannot just snap and all problems are solved. This means that most people do not suddenly forget that they used to smoke (although this has happened before).
Most of the time hypnosis makes the important difference to stay away from the glow permanently, even without great suffering. Without withdrawal symptoms it is usually not possible, but they are much better to handle than without hypnosis.
Some of my clients reduce their tobacco consumption first and others stop smoking straight away after a session. I usually can't tell you in advance which category you belong to.
The answer is yes, online hypnosis can help smokers quit smoking by addressing the underlying subconscious factors that contribute to addiction.
Online hypnosis sessions are just as effective as in-person sessions and offer the added benefit of convenience and accessibility.
Another advantage of online hypnosis is that this hypnosis against smoking is always close at hand.
With hypnosis it is possible to stop smoking without losing your inner peace. By solving the causes of nicotine addiction, the stop happens from the inside.
This makes it possible to forget cigarettes and start a smoke-free life without always having to force yourself to do something.
You don't even have to believe in it to become smoke-free through hypnosis.
Clinical hypnosis is an additional support for successful smoking cessation, as we can release unconscious connections that make quitting difficult. In this way, we also strengthen relapse prevention.
Long-term damage caused by smoking cessation stress can also be avoided with hypnotherapy. For example, we can use hypnosis to support self-healing in smoker's lung and prevent lung cancer.
If you have decided to become a non-smoker, then I look forward to accompanying you into your smoke-free future.
Die Hypnose kann sehr erfolgreich sein bei der Raucherentwöhnung, sofern man mit den richtigen Erwartungen an die Hypnose geht. Hypnosetherapie ist keine Zauberei und auch keine Wundertablette, die man sich einwerfen kann. Das macht die Erfolgsquote von Hypnose gegen Rauchen etwas tiefer, da wir nicht ein mentaler Nikotinkaugummi sind.
Wenn wir nur oberflächlich das Rauchen behandeln, kann dies für eine gewisse Zeit wirken, es ist jedoch erfolgreicher, wenn wir die zugrundeliegenen, unbewussten Ursachen des Rauchens behandeln.
Je nachdem wie tief verankert das Rauchen ist und wie stark die Sucht ist, dauert es zwischen 2-5 Sitzungen für den Rauchstopp mit Hypnose.
Es haben schon viele mit rauchfrei durch Hypnose geworden. Aus diesem Grund ist es auch ein bekanntes Anwendungsgebiet der Hypnose geworden.
In der Schweiz zahlt die EGK mit Zusatz EGK-SUN und die SWICA mit Zusatz PRAEVENTA die Raucherentwöhnung mit Hypnose.
The fear of flying is a specific phobia that affects up to 16% of the population.
Since the fear of flying often develops over a certain period of time, it should be treated early. The earlier one uses hypnosis against fear of flying, the faster the results can come. When treating the fear of flying or even aviaphobia with hypnosis, the course is set in the unconscious mind so that it no longer perceives flying as a threat.
In this way, the uncomfortable feelings before take-off can be eliminated and the tension when boarding the aircraft can be relieved. Physical symptoms such as nausea or shortness of breath can also be treated with hypnosis therapy for fear of flying. With hypnosis you can overcome your fear of flying.
The great advantage of hypnosis in the treatment of fear of flying is the direct response of the unconscious. Most people with fear of flying are presented with facts about how safe flying is. And still nothing changes in the fear.
The fear reaction is controlled by the unconscious and this does not have the logical rational thinking of the conscious mind. Therefore all numbers and facts are useless.
With hypnosis, however, we can translate these considerations into the language of the unconscious and thus often make the difference that allows for an improvement or even a resolution of the fears.
For most people the fear of flying arises in the same way as other fears. Namely when the unconscious has recognized a situation as threatening and wants to keep us away from it. Various influences can trigger the discomfort or even panic before flying.
Not everyone who is afraid of flying has also experienced something traumatic in relation to flying. If we know exactly where it started, it makes finding the cause easy.
However, the trigger is often not quite clear.
Flying in an airplane is not really tangible for our unconscious. That's why imagination can often run away with you. I experience with many clients that at least at the beginning the imagination can have a big influence. Often it is not what happens that triggers the action, but what you imagine. Even if you have experienced strong turbulences yourself, often nothing worse has happened.
Nevertheless, our unconscious can perceive even the smallest experience as an indication of danger, which can become more and more elevated.
The performances can also be supported by external influences such as information or films about crashes and air accidents. These then give the unconscious enough material to think up the most daring horror stories.
Sometimes the fear of flying can also be inherited. If the parents were already afraid of flying, the panic when flying can be copied from the children. The queasy feeling is directly transmitted, so to speak.
Often the fear of flying has also to do with the fact that one has trouble giving up control. Especially people who like to have everything under control in everyday life often have problems with flying. Stress can often arise if you have no influence on what is happening. This is called the passenger syndrome in the technical language. The pilot is also an unknown person except for a short announcement at the beginning. Of course he has an interest in arriving safely, but sometimes this is not a sufficient reason for trusting the pilot.
Sometimes a fear does not come alone. The interior of an aircraft can also trigger fears that are not specific to the aircraft. For example, claustrophobia and fear of heights often occur in people who have a fear of flying. These can then influence each other and can be treated as a whole.
Many people take medication to treat their fear of flying. However, sedatives in tablet or pill form are usually not a sensible solution, especially if you have to fly for work.
Hypnosis makes it possible to treat the fear of flying in a natural way. Thereby the unconscious is stimulated to make adjustments.
I personally believe that the unconscious can't do everything it does. For this reason I think that most people already have the solution to their problems within themselves. In hypnosis against fear of flying this is no different.
In hypnosis against fear of flying we directly address the causes of the fear of flying in the unconscious. With the use of different methods of hypnosis therapy we can make flying into something that may still not be fun, but in any case no longer causes any major problems.
The own condition or the inner atmosphere can have a great influence on anxiety. In hypnosis therapy, we train the unconscious mind in the state that enables the person affected to positively influence the fear.
If we learn to influence our own condition, the symptoms of anxiety can also be reduced. In this way one is no longer helplessly at the mercy of fear, but enters the respective situations with a strengthened inner state.
In an airplane, you can neither get off nor influence anything. Therefore the development of a certain basic trust is something that is very important in the treatment of fear of flying.
These aspects are something that make hypnosis so effective against fear of flying. Because with hypnosis we go directly to the source in the unconscious. If we instruct it to develop a relaxed atmosphere, this can decisively relieve the fear of flying.
No matter whether traumatic experiences or roused fear, a first step can be forgetting. By working with the unconscious, the influence of past experiences on the present state can be weakened. In this way the fear of fear is reduced.
This can also be used to solve the negative conditioning towards the aircraft. So that one does not already panic when just seeing the plane, it must become a neutral place again. With hypnosis we can get rid of this old stoff.
Many psychologists claim that the best way to overcome phobias and fears is confrontation. This may be true, but you can't just get off a plane when it gets too much.
Hypnosis now gives us possibilities to get into the plane in the trance while we stay on the ground in the hypnosis chair. This way we can handle it in a safe and secure way.
Our imagination has an amazing power. But all the fantasy we use for negative ideas can also be used for positive ones. So by means of hypnosis we can use the imagination to develop positive thoughts with flying.
What might seem unimaginable for someone suffering from aviaphobia, can be imagined in a positive way. Symptoms such as faster breathing are not a danger in themselves, but can in certain cases become a direct anticipation.
The great advantage of hypnosis in the treatment of fear of flying is the direct response of the unconscious. Most people with aviophobia are presented with facts about how safe flying is. And yet nothing changes in the fear.
The fear reaction is controlled by the unconscious and this does not have the logical rational thinking of the conscious mind. Therefore all numbers and facts are useless.
With hypnosis, however, we can translate these considerations into the language of the unconscious and thus often make the difference that allows for an improvement or even a resolution of the fears.
Hypnosis is a promising method to treat anxiety in general and the fear of flying in particular. By directly involving the unconscious in the trance, hypnotherapy makes progress possible that other methods do not allow.
Hypnosis helps with fear of flying. With hypnosis fear and also panic can be reduced or even completely dissolved. For this purpose, the hypnosis therapy of aviaphobia in the unconsciousness treats the causes of fear. In this way, flying may not become something fun but does not cause any more problems.
Allergies range from troublesome to dangerous and affect the quality of life. Hypnosis can reduce the symptoms of allergies or even cure the allergy completely. This has also been scientifically proven.
There are different theories about the increase of allergies. But the fact is: more and more people suffer from allergies. However, it is not clear why this is so.
Nevertheless, the treatment of allergies with hypnosis is one of the least known applications of hypnosis. In fact, most allergy sufferers do not know that it is very well possible to treat allergies with hypnosis. For all those who do not want to suffer from their allergies anymore, hypnosis can bring relief. So that the allergies no longer dominate your life.
Using hypnosis for allergies is so worthwhile because the causes can be treated directly. Not just a part of the bodily functions is considered, but the body as a whole is considered.
The answer to this can be found in the immune system. Our immune system helps us fend off threats every day. Whether bacteria, viruses or parasites, everything harmful is rendered harmless by the immune system as quickly as possible.
In order for this to happen as quickly as possible, the leukocytes (white blood cells) patrol our bloodstream, among other things. As soon as they recognize an enemy, they sound the alarm.
The immune system is therefore constantly on the lookout for threats and must be able to distinguish between friend and foe at all times. If it detects an enemy, countermeasures are taken immediately. The whole system is mobilised to render the enemy harmless.
For example, the immune system is given free rein, blood vessels are opened. This is triggered by histamine. This opening of the vessels also leads to watery eyes and a runny nose, which most allergy sufferers know only too well.
So our immune system protects us day and night against negative influences from outside. It also has a great influence on our entire body.
In allergy sufferers, the immune system recognizes harmless things like animal hair or peanuts as a dangerous enemy. If harmless substances are recognized as the enemy, they become allergens. The misjudgement leads to the body being seen as threatened and the entire immune system mobilizes its defenses to get rid of the enemy. This is the same or similar to a bacterial infection, but with something harmless. It is so to speak shooting at sparrows with cannons.
That is why allergies are also referred to as an overreaction of the immune system. Depending on how great the danger is classified by the immune system, the reaction can be very strong. It can even lead to anaphylactic shock.
However, it is generally exaggerated, as the allergic reaction itself is often the real danger.
The immune system also wants to protect the allergy sufferer from attackers. But since it is confused about who is friend and foe it hurts itself in its confusion. It learns that the allergens are hostile. Thus the immune reaction can also become stronger and stronger, because often no too violent reaction was triggered at the first contact.
The goal of hypnosis in allergies is of course the healing of the allergy. To do this, the confusion of the immune system must be dissolved so that it can once again classify the allergens as harmless.
Once this happens the allergy is cured. This can not only happen with hypnosis, often this happens by itself. This is often called "outgrowing" of the allergy. This shows us that the allergy does not have to be a constant companion, but can also be cured.
If the complete cure with hypnosis is not yet possible, then often the relief of the symptoms is the answer. This means that the allergen is still recognized as an enemy, but no longer as so threatening that even less reaction is sufficient.
The immune system is only a part of our unconscious. Already in 1974 it was proven that the psyche has an influence on the immune system. This means that different conscious and unconscious parts are connected with the immune system. Science is not quite clear how allergies arise. What is clear is that allergies are based on a disturbance of the immune system.
Since hypnosis has been proven to relieve the symptoms of allergies, it can be concluded that allergies also have a psychological component.
Since the immune system is mainly responsible for border control, it is obvious that allergies also have something to do with one's own borders.
As always, there is no such thing as "the allergy". That is why hypnosis is also successful for allergies if we consider the allergy sufferer as a whole and do not just focus on the allergy in question.
When we recognize in hypnosis what triggers and maintains the allergy, we can get to the root of these causes.
Sometimes this means to solve something from childhood. Sometimes it means to better protect your own limits. Sometimes it means to close a leak of your own. There are different approaches to hypnosis for allergies and a well-trained hypnotherapist selects the appropriate treatment.
One of the triggers of many diseases is stress. Stress is also mentioned as one of the triggering factors in allergies. The treatment of stress with hypnosis is a very effective area. This is of course also an important part of hypnosis therapy for allergy treatment.
Caution is required when treating an allergy that causes a violent reaction. As an example from the USA shows, the hypnotic suggestion of an allergen can already trigger an allergic reaction. This means that an allergic reaction can only be triggered by our thoughts. On the one hand, this reminds us to be careful when treating allergies with hypnosis, on the other hand it is further proof of how rewarding hypnosis can be in allergy treatment.
On the one hand, this warns us to be cautious in the treatment of allergies through hypnosis, on the other hand, it is further proof of how rewarding hypnosis can be in the treatment of allergies.
I have had some good successes in the treatment of allergies, e.g. in the treatment of cat allergies, pollen allergies and food allergies.
When we use hypnosis for allergies, it makes it possible to restore the inner balance to remove the confusion of the immune system. Experience shows us that it is even possible that during the treatment the dripping nose stops running.
Especially for hay fever it is worth making an appointment in spring to check the results directly. Very often, however, the first sessions are mainly aimed at reducing the symptoms and containing the allergic reaction. It has already happened that somebody did not have all their allergies except one. Then we know that they still need treatment.
It has also happened that someone was no longer allergic to certain substances after a session, but still had other allergies. We then know that they still need treatment.
The hypnosis therapy can be a great help for allergy sufferers. In addition, hypnosis can even be decisive for a cure of the allergy. This is because hypnosis reduces the unconscious overreaction of the immune system and has a positive influence on the psyche.
More and more people want to lose weight with hypnosis.
You know that every attempt to lose weight begins in the mind. By that I don't necessarily mean the will. Of course it has to be right. But much more important for successful weight loss are the unconscious parts, because otherwise you won't get very far even with a lot of self-control.
If you wish to be able to lose a certain amount of kilos or pounds, then my question is how you came up with this number of kilos. Often the answer is that this is the feel-good weight. From this we conclude that most of the time the desire to lose weight is actually the desire to feel good in your own body.
There are hundreds of tips and tricks for losing weight. But all tips and tricks are useless if the inside is not right.
Often the excess weight has unconscious components. This can be one of the reasons why previous diet and weight loss attempts have failed. With hypnosis we can solve exactly these inner causes.
Hypnosis helps with so many things that have to do with the inner and the unconscious. And the desire for food, like everything in our body, is controlled by the unconscious. In the history of mankind, it has been important that we have sought the most nutritious foods in order to survive. The more calories a food has, the more happiness hormones we get.
This can lead to problems if the feelings of happiness are missing in other places. Then the unconscious uses the calories not only for nutrition but also to compensate in other ways.
For this reason, it is important to fully engage our unconscious in the weight reduction process. With hypnosis this is very well possible.
So that even without torturing yourself the kilos fall, I offer hypnosis to lose weight in Zurich. In my practice at Bahnhof Enge you can make the adjustments that help you lose weight effectively. In order for it to take place without great suffering and without hunger, all parts of the unconscious must be ready to lose weight.
Simply hoping for a miracle with the twentieth attempted diet is futile. Hypnosis is not magic either. In order for the success to be sustainable, we must not only change our eating habits, but also make unconscious changes.
A diet is useless if you have to be very hard on yourself to stick to it.
Maybe they manage to lose weight for a short time, but the yoyo effect usually occurs as soon as you return to your daily diet.
It is often the case that the more radical the diet was, the faster the kilos come back. If you starve yourself slim, your unconsciousness switches to famine and your metabolism changes.
The ideal weight is therefore not maintained for long. Diets are therefore often pointless if they are not accompanied by a general, permanent change in thinking and eating habits. In my experience, you don't have to pay much attention to nutrition if you make the appropriate changes in other areas of life.
Anyone who makes an effort with something, of course, wants to see results quickly. This is understandable, but fast thinning is usually not particularly recommended. If you still have the mental heaviness, the success will not be long lasting. But as soon as you are mentally ready to lose weight (which requires more than just "wanting" to) it can happen very quickly.
Once the mental blocks and dissatisfaction are gone, weight loss is usually no longer a tedious, slow process. It is not uncommon that you do not even notice how you lose weight anymore. If the course is set in the head when losing weight under hypnosis, a lot of healthy things can become a habit.
For every person with too much on their ribs, there's a reason it happened this way. Nobody woke up one morning suddenly with a thick layer of fat.
Most people also know which foods are healthy and which are not. However, the motivation to eat healthy is not the basic condition for many people.
The increase is a gradual process. And as with everything that creeps, one often does not know the reasons for it. Of course you can say that you have consumed more calories than you have used. To come to this conclusion you don't have to be a physicist or a good hypnotherapist.
However, the unconscious reasons for being overweight are often not clearly apparent. Most of the time an imbalance has arisen somewhere in life. Very often it is a vicious circle that leads to the failure of diet and weight loss attempts. The most important thing for lasting success is therefore to solve inner inconsistencies. To a certain extent, losing weight works similar to the process of addiction treatment with hypnosis.
Therefore the first step in losing weight with hypnosis is to search for the deeper causes.
Unfortunately there are many ideas that hypnosis works like a magic weight loss pill. This is not so.
But hypnosis has advantages over other weight loss methods.
Those who decide to lose weight are by definition dissatisfied with their weight.
And people with weight problems especially do something when they are dissatisfied: They eat. This is also the end of some diets: if you force yourself to eat differently than you want, then stress is created.
This stress is then usually compensated with fatty or sugary food. On top of that, it can also be that one feels ashamed or feels like a failure. The spiral of negative feelings goes on and on. Losing weight thus becomes a very unpleasant experience and in the end you are sometimes worse off than before.
So the goal is that we approach the matter with satisfaction. The "inner bastard" should therefore not be fought, but invited to participate in losing weight.
The hypnosis therapy makes it possible to adjust the feelings towards one's own body and towards food in a way that makes a healthy weight loss possible.
With hypnosis I create the report between the wishes of the conscious mind and the workings of the unconscious. If the conscious and the unconscious mind are ready to work as a team, then weight problems can be tackled without much dissatisfaction or effort.
The "I have to lose weight" can turn into "I can lose weight". With satisfaction and balance, eating habits change almost by themselves. It is often the case that unhealthy foods physically resist you and you are almost disgusted by them. Because the underlying problems are solved, the ideal weight achieved in this way can then be easily maintained.
Eating healthy food every time will be a success you can be proud of. If there are good feelings behind it, that motivates and drives you. This is what makes losing weight with hypnosis so effective and lasting in contrast to conventional diets or similar.
For these reasons, losing weight with hypnosis brings us not only long lasting results but also many positive changes in other areas of life. Thus, a healthy change of diet becomes a happy change of life.
Mostly too much is eaten to compensate for some other negative aspects in life. Eating gives short-term satisfaction, but the long-term effects land only on the hips. Besides, you never have enough if you don't treat the underlying problem.
That is why it is so important to analyze the whole life in the hypnotic treatment of obesity. Personally, I am not necessarily fond of treatments such as the hypnotic gastric band. Because this is often only symptom control. I see obesity more as a signal that something else is going wrong. That there is a certain inner heaviness.
When we bring our thinking, behaving and feeling into balance, it is more a change of life than a change of diet. If this does not suit someone, then it will generally be difficult to reach the desired weight.
Sometimes the subject of losing weight can overshadow your whole life and diminish all joy. It can even go so far that someone can make the success of their day dependent on whether the scales show a plus or a minus.
If the thighs or stomach have too much fat, it can put you in a bad mood.
The dissatisfaction with one's own body then brings bad mood into all situations in life. If one then totally supervises oneself and all enjoyment is forbidden, it is only intensified. But if you also feel guilty because you have e.g. eaten chocolate, there will be bad feelings again.
With hypnosis the focus can usually be directed away from the negative to positive things. The focus can come out of the tunnel vision of losing weight.
The weight loss happens in the background, so to speak, out of an unconscious habit. My experiences with losing weight under hypnosis show me that the thoughts of people who want to lose weight are not only about losing weight after the first session. Many also report that they can sleep better This makes room for personal growth in all situations in life.
If we use the resources inside us properly, we do not need anything from the outside. So most people already have everything they need. This also applies to achieving the feel-good weight.
All we have to do is know where to look. Each person can find the answers for himself if he looks inside.
Sometimes it's hard to tackle what really bothers you. Often there is also a certain sadness. It is often difficult to address this, but maybe it is time to do so. We know: Shortcuts usually don't bring the desired results.
So that there is no more shifting into eating, you have to face what is weighing you down.
Either way: I will accompany you on every step of the way, even if it becomes difficult.
Hypnosis can be a very good method to lose weight sustainably. With the right approaches this can also bring lasting success. With hypnosis, the course is set in the unconscious in order to be able to get rid of mental and physical weight in a healthy way. The advantage of the treatment from the ground up is that the risk of relapse is reduced.
Yes, it is possible to lose weight easily with hypnosis. However, the whole answer is somewhat longer.
Sometimes there are clients who think that I as a hypnotherapist snap my fingers once, they faint and when they wake up they never want to eat sweets again. That they then wake up the next day without effort and are never hungry again.
That they can live and eat exactly the same way without getting fat. However, my treatments in Zurich are not in the same dream category as "losing weight while sleeping" or diet pills. Losing weight can often be a challenging topic, because a lot of things usually work together.
Cutting off all the old pigtails takes time and effort. Who is not willing to use this will almost inevitably be disappointed. This is then not good for the client or for me. So if you want to lose weight with hypnosis therapy, you have to be willing to change something.
Hypnosis can solve many blockades and overcome obstacles, but only if you are willing to do so. But with the right motivation and willingness to change, hypnosis can bring great and lasting results.
Losing weight with hypnosis helps to adjust unconscious processes to a healthy weight. This stops excessive hunger or overeating. The desire for unhealthy food is also reduced. In return, other aspects of losing weight are often strengthened, such as the sense of health.
Learning is actually the most natural thing in the world. We learn every day. The human brain stores so many things, simply and by itself.
But why doesn't it always do that? Why do we save the chorus from Summer hit without effort, but to learn German vocabulary needs big effort and are immediately forgotten again?
The reasons for this lie in unconscious processes.
The brain is networked and therefore sometimes connects things that do not belong together.
Feelings and learning content are mixed and added together and this sometimes makes learning more difficult than necessary.
We humans look for pleasant things and we try to avoid unpleasant things. This is the same when learning. That is why we store pleasant things without much effort, and we cannot squeeze the unpleasant things into the head even with much effort.
For example, negative feelings towards classmates, aversion towards the teacher or fear of failure can make learning almost impossible. Our unconscious would rather run away than concentrate on learning.
The feelings towards the learning material are therefore essential. If we do not have positive feelings about learning, we are more prone to distractions and it takes more effort to retain the knowledge.
To create the right learning atmosphere there is nothing better than hypnosis.
Most people think of the conscious mind when thinking about learning. Many think that learning is a way of putting certain information into our conscious mind. This with the aim that we have the information consciously available.
However, it is important to know that a great deal happens unconsciously when learning. Besides, the capacity of the conscious mind is quite limited. But the unconscious can easily keep a lot of information at the same time.
It is therefore sensible to include the unconscious resources for the learning success and not only to focus on stubborn stuffing of the brain. Especially if the cramming does not bring much success, it makes sense to include other resources as well.
In order to make full use of the unconscious possibilities, we need the right inner learning state. If we are in this state, we can optimally absorb what we need and then access it directly.
With hypnosis we can create and strengthen these beneficial states.
As we have already noticed, the ability to learn is very much linked to feelings and inner mood. Good feelings are important in many things in life, including learning. If we do not learn with fun, it becomes tough.
So the first step in working with hypnosis for learning is to decouple negative feelings and learning. These negative feelings mostly come from bad school experiences or negative convictions.
Hypnotically we can dissolve old learning blockades and clear the way for something new. With hypnosis we can bring in a new suitable learning state. This brings along openness and confidence. The motivation also increases.
When we have got rid of the old burdens, we can have a new positive basic feeling even when we learn by heart. This makes learning easier, even on complicated topics.
In order to learn better, it is also important that we shape our basic feeling while learning. This can of course be influenced by the learning environment. Unfortunately, this is not always optimal. But with hypnosis we can learn to not let our inner being be influenced by our surroundings. When we design our learning state, we are less distracted.
With a hypnotic training we can learn to reach our optimal learning state directly.
This gives us better access to our knowledge and our memory.
In order for us to communicate directly with the unconscious, we must first understand what language it speaks.
Afterwards we can pass on the learning material to our unconscious in this way. This "translation" for the unconscious is known to most people as "learning techniques".
You can make them incredibly complicated. But actually it is nothing else but to bring the knowledge into the form in which our unconscious can keep it better.
The best known example of this is the mnemonic. By remembering an information as a picture or slogan, it is easier to save it.
In doing so, we make full use of the workings of the unconscious. These learning techniques or mnemonics can almost be called memory hacks, because they use evolutionary processing paths of our brain.
From an evolutionary point of view, our memory has certainly made an important contribution to human survival. But evolution has also shaped our memory.
What was important for survival was rather stored. A good memory was apparently essential for survival.
In evolutionary terms, anyone who has forgotten the way back to the cave has gone extinct.
So it is only logical that we, like our ancestors, can remember images and places rather than sentences and words. Our current learning material is usually far from this. Therefore it makes sense to bring it into this form.
If we also include this knowledge, we can learn in a suitable way. This promotes both the speed of learning and the memory.
All hypnotic learning strategies that I teach my clients are based in some way on such a biological foundation.
The vast majority of people have learned their first language very easily.
Children absorb information quickly and effortlessly. This gives us ideas about how the unconscious works.
The unconscious likes it playful and fascinating. So-called "useless knowledge" can be remembered by many because it covers exactly this part of learning. Most people would actually know that learning is best done with fun.
We often become more serious with age and forget what made it so easy to learn as a child. If adults want to learn like a child again, they usually have to find their inner child again.
So with hypnosis we should resurrect the playful way of learning. Then learning will not only be better but also easier. And that even more so with adult knowledge.
To learn the way we could by nature is best possible with hypnosis.
Although most people will not suddenly develop a photographic memory. But it makes learning much more efficient and easier. Mithypnotic reinforcement also makes it easier for us to remember and recall what we have learned.
There is no good or bad memory, there is only optimized and unoptimized.
By hypnotically implementing the appropriate learning state, inner resources and the right learning strategies, we can set up the brain for learning success.
Hypnotherapy uses the effect of hypnosis on the subconscious for therapeutic purposes. In hypnotic trance, the phenomena of trance can be used to give unconsciously effective suggestions aimed at physical and mental healing.
In short, hypnosis is an umbrella term for a variety of techniques that have something in common: They appeal to our subconscious mind. When this is intense enough, people enter a state of hypnotic trance.
The hypnotic state is a state of consciousness that is somewhere between awake and asleep and is known by many names, such as daydreaming, half-sleep, flow state or simply as focused relaxation.
This hypnotic trance occurs naturally in everyday life and has a very important characteristic for therapy: the unconscious becomes more active.
Through the increased activation of the subconscious mind, hypnosis enables access to resources that are not accessible to the conscious mind. The properties of hypnotic trance are used to bring about changes in unconscious processes.
During hypnotherapy, we communicate directly with the subconscious in order to stimulate the desired changes. The use of unconscious resources can bring about great improvements in the field of medical or psychotherapeutic treatment.
Hypnosis techniques can also be used to address unconscious blockages and beliefs that can have a negative impact on physical and mental health. In this way, the body's own self-healing powers can be activated and supported.
This use of expanded states of consciousness is also not new. Using hypnosis for therapy is probably as old as man himself. Even a healer who recites healing spells is doing hypnotherapy in the broadest sense.
Why hypnotherapy works so well for various issues is very easy to explain: The natural state of a living being is to grow and therefore to heal. So if not all of the body's own resources are being used for this, it means that something is standing in the way.
We therefore know that the goal of hypnotherapy is ultimately to return to the naturally balanced state of original nature. This leads to old connections in the brain being naturally replaced by new ones that are beneficial and healthy.
Unfortunately, many people still believe that hypnotherapy is similar to taking a car in for a service: Snap, gone, problem solved. However, this could not be further from the truth. In hypnotherapy, we do the same as in psychotherapy, but with a focus on unconscious processes.
Various aspects of thinking, feeling and acting are examined, which could be essential in maintaining the problem. Unlike many talk therapies, the aim is not only to make the unconscious conscious, but also to work around it. More precisely, this means that we not only want to consciously recognize the unconscious processes, but can and want to influence them directly. To do this, logical solutions must be made comprehensible to the unconscious. This is also called "hypnotic".
Neurologists have discovered that this state brings regions of the brain into contact that otherwise function independently. In short, hypnosis brings the conscious mind and the unconscious closer together. In addition, the trance reduces the influence of the conscious mind and thus reduces the blocking effect of the ego. In a state of trance, we can therefore look at ourselves in a more non-judgmental way and thus develop other solutions.
A problem can be perpetuated by many things. This does not always have to involve dealing with childhood, although this often needs to be addressed.
Traumas, beliefs or ideologies can also contribute to maintaining the problem. The basic steps are therefore to recognize the causes, find alternatives and unconsciously practice the new ways of thinking and behaving.
It is not necessarily important to find out what caused the problem, but rather why the unconscious still considers it necessary.
There are different approaches, but for me there are basically 3 parts:
The duration of hypnosis treatments varies greatly. From about one to five hours. Personally, I have opted for just one hour, because the longer the sessions, the less receptive you are. Longer sessions are therefore usually no more effective than shorter ones.
It is generally known that hypnotherapy often works faster than conventional talking therapies in the field of psychology and psychotherapy. However, hypnotherapy also takes a certain amount of time.
The desired treatment goal and the severity of the problem also have an influence on the duration of hypnotherapy.
It is also important how much preparatory work has been done. If someone has undergone years of psychotherapy and practiced meditation, then we will almost certainly make faster progress with hypnosis than if the answer to every question is "I've never thought about that before". Hypnosis also works at different speeds, depending on how trained we are in the area of trance. This doesn't have to be formally hypnotic, it can also come from intense walking, cycling etc. The most important thing is a certain amount of practice in allowing trance to happen.
So in the end, because of these many personal differences, we can mainly rely on experience. My experience tells me that most of my clients come to me between 2-5 sessions for the desired change. However, this also includes clients who have not yet achieved the goal but realize that they can do it themselves. And that's the way it should be in the end.
When asked what hypnosis can help with, I give three overlapping answers: what is scientifically proven, what I have experience with and what is logically possible.
Hypnotherapy has long been scientifically recognized and its effects have been proven thousands of times over. If you search the Internet or look at my Hypnosis in Science page, you can find some applications that have been proven to be effective.
It is very important to remember that only what has been tested can be proven. Many researchers have not shown great courage here. However, the field of scientifically proven applications of modern hypnotherapy is constantly expanding, both in the treatment of mental and physical illnesses and complaints.
It is also important to remember that hypnosis has many names: Meditation, mindfulness etc. also involve the unconscious and so should also be included.
I can tell you from experience what I have already successfully treated with hypnosis. I write this regularly on my website and have compiled the following list:
This is not 100% exhaustive, but it gives a very good overview. However, it is also important to remember that with hypnosis we can not only solve problems, but also improve things (which is sometimes necessary for the solution).
If we now know that hypnosis works on our subconscious and can influence it with suggestions, then we can conclude the following: Hypnotherapy can be used to treat everything that is unconsciously controlled. This would then include virtually everything.
However, it is also important to understand that hypnosis can influence. This is different from "control". We cannot simply switch physical functions on and off with hypnosis. But we can steer the whole organism in a positive direction. And so, with the use of hypnosis, we can now help almost anyone with almost anything.
Of course, we could also ask this question the other way round, as "Who should do hypnosis?" but I prefer to answer it exclusively, as this is easier.
Hypnotherapy is not suitable for people who think it is like "taking the car to the garage". There are often big disappointments when you find out that you have to do something yourself. For it to be a truly effective treatment method, the participation of the client is necessary. This may include self-hypnosis or the use of certain hypnotic techniques.
It is also often discouraged to use hypnosis on people with schizophrenia. I don't entirely agree with this, but the important thing is that the hypnotherapist is well trained and that these issues have been clearly discussed in advance. Ultimately, this is more about bringing someone out of trance rather than doing hypnosis inductions.
Hypnotherapy offers powerful access to the subconscious mind to bring about positive changes on a mental and physical level. By using trance, blockages can be released and resources activated that lead to healing and growth. Get in touch today and discover the potential of hypnotherapy for your personal development and well-being!
Everyone has the ability to go into a trance. Hypnosis therefore works for everyone. The only difference is the effort required to enter/be put into a trance.
Interested parties are repeatedly advised to undergo hypnosis with a "reputable specialist". This is basically a good suggestion. Unfortunately, however, many doctors know a lot about medicine but little about health. As a result, hypnosis unfortunately degenerates into just another "pill" to combat symptoms.
However, this is far from being the optimal use of hypnosis. Sometimes a well-trained hypnotherapist can be the better choice for therapeutic hypnosis.
Yes, hypnosis can have a positive influence on physical health. This is possible because the subconscious mind controls all non-conscious physical processes. We can therefore exert a positive influence on this in a hypnotic trance.
