Surprisingly, while most people think they can’t be hypnotized, 90% of the population can achieve a trance state and another 30% have a high enough susceptibility to enter a receptive state.
Three conditions are essential for successful hypnotherapy:
• A comfortable environment, free of distraction, so the patient can reach the deepest possible level.
• A trusting rapport between the hypnotist and the patient. • A willingness and desire by the subject to be hypnotized.
People who benefit most from hypnotherapy understand that hypnosis is not a surrender of personal control, but instead, an advanced form of relaxation.
Another short but powerful tribute to the healing power of hypnosis, from a “medically-attuned person” follows:
“If somebody told you there was a medication that could treat 100 different conditions, didn’t require a prescription, was free, and had no bad side effects, you wouldn’t believe them” says Harvard Medical School psychologist Carol Ginandes, PhD. “I don’t want to sound like a snake oil salesman, because hypnosis is not a magic wand. But it should be made available as a supplementary treat- ment for all patients who could benefit. Right now.”
