Hypnosis is a different psychic state between sleep and wakefulness, in which the person has the feeling of being in a state separate from it, although he is aware of the reality at that moment. The person's attention is usually introverted and narrow. In this case, the ability to receive suggestions increases. During hypnosis, the individual He distances himself from the outside world in a controlled manner, and the suggestions given to him reach the central nervous system without being criticized or analyzed. Hypnosis is a technique, a tool. Hypnotherapy is therapy performed under hypnosis. The real treatment is hypnotherapy using hypnosis. The person who practices hypnosis (hypnotherapist) is a person who has the authority and skill to use this technique. The person benefits by trusting the hypnotherapist to achieve the goal he/she has determined voluntarily.
The mind processes the information it receives both consciously and unconsciously. Our unconscious is the side of our brain that we are not aware of. In addition to controlling all involuntary body functions, all our experiences, It stores our memories, controls our immune system and hormonal system. Our unconscious is also responsible for our intuition, attitudes, thoughts about ourselves and habits.
The conscious mind is more critical and tends to analyze more when solving problems. This can sometimes cause indecision and difficulties in taking action. While under hypnosis, Freed from this analysis ability of consciousness, the unconscious mind becomes more ready to receive suggestions and therapy takes place.
Hypnosis is not a strange or mysterious event. It is a completely normal state similar to daydreaming or before falling asleep. In fact, hypnosis states are experienced. Sometimes we experience it during the day and we do not know that it is hypnosis. For example, have there been moments when you got distracted while driving and did not remember which roads you took when you got home? Again, while watching the match of the team you are a fan of or watching a movie you liked very much, were there moments when you did not hear the people next to you calling out to you? For an important job. Have you ever thought you had to get up at 5 in the morning before going to bed, but woke up at that exact time on your own? Or have you ever seen a bruise on your leg while going to the bathroom and wondered where I hit my leg? In fact, I didn't feel any pain? These are all hypnosis states. Children If a child who is busy playing with his toys cannot hear you when you call, he is in hypnosis. However, hypnosis and hypnotherapy are different things. Hypnotherapy is the treatment done through hypnosis, it is the way to real healing. If we compare hypnosis to a syringe or an injector, hypnotherapy is the medicine in the injector. It is the medicine that does the real treatment, not the injector. But the injector is also a tool that allows the medicine to reach the places where it will act.
The British Medical Association accepted hypnotherapy as a psychotherapy method in 1953 and the American Medical Association in 1958.
