How can you change someone’s life in just one week? UK Life Coach Tracy Giffen thinks she knows how. “Out goes the sergeant major approach of intimidation and bullying, crawling through mud and dawn marches,” she explains. “In comes inspiring fitness coaching making you feel motivated like never before and neuro-linguistic programming so the mind and body change together to deliver lasting results.” The process she speaks of is known as neuro linguistic programming (NLP) and it is beginning to take hold, not just in England but also in medical clinics, workout centers and workshops across the United States.

The term “hypnosis” stems from the Greek word “hypnos,” meaning “sleep.” Hypnotherapy employs a number of techniques that create a feeling of deep relaxation in patients, which then leads to an altered state of consciousness known as a trance. Therapists use hypnosis techniques to open a gateway into the mind, where they can actually influence people on how to change their embedded behaviors. While it has not been proven beyond reasonable doubt, a number of patients have reported the use of hypnosis sessions to quit smoking, lose weight, overcome obstacles in their marriage and find a sense of empowerment.

Breathing coaches, yoga instructors and doctors are nothing new to pregnant women. However, many mothers-to-be are now adding a hypnotherapist to their pre-natal planning. Hypnosis sessions aid in conditioning the mind to deal with stress and pain management better to ensure a more positive labor experience. “Hypnobirthing” founder Marie F. Mongan explains, “We will help you prepare for the birth your plan and want for yourselves and your baby, rather than the birth that someone else directs.

“You are getting sleepy… You are getting sleepy… You are getting sleepy.” The image of the man dangling the watch back and forth before the patient’s eyes is ingrained into our brains as the primary mode of hypnotizing someone. Once a person “goes under,” the hypnotist can get the unconscious to say or do just about anything on command.

Learning how to hypnotize an individual is not a magical experience for the mystics, nor is it a skill acquired through years of schooling. Hypnotherapy training can easily be done with a book or two, a subject and the desire to learn hypnosis techniques. Perhaps there is someone in your life you would like to help through hypnosis. This method is said to relieve pain, reduce anxiety and help people with weight loss, smoking cessation and emotional issues. Or maybe you would like to make some extra money on the weekends performing hypnosis sessions for small audiences. The basic gist of hypnotizing someone is to get them to relax, at which point their brain waves will slow and their creative, unconscious side will emerge.

Clinical hypnotherapy is an amazing study where a person is induced into a state of trance so he or she can better manage painful sensations or emotions. Therapists use this treatment to prepare for surgery, to recover from trauma or to deal with chronic pain related to cancer or something like fibromyalgia. Hypnosis meditation has been a popular study since the seventies, when New Age philosophy bloomed. Yet many maintain that it is this “occult” or “mystical” application that hurts the credibility of hypnosis as a legitimate scientific study.

Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud believed that repressed memories and desires bring all sorts of mayhem on the mind. As a result, we develop stigmas, phobic disorders, aversions or, in severe cases, mental disorders. He felt that therapy sessions could uncover the subconscious glitches and repair the human psyche. A number of therapists have attempted to draw out their patient’s most suppressed memories to cure afflictions, but perhaps none are as mysterious or effective as hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis has been used for various ailments ranging from obesity to smoking. The premise behind hypnosis is that when one is under hypnosis, an altered state of consciousness occurs; their attention is more focused and they are more open to suggestions. This is the way in which hypnotists will usually help someone who is struggling with an addiction or other affliction. No matter why a person has gone to a hypnotherapist, they may have some doubts about the true helping nature of the art of hypnosis. Many myths surround this unusual, but effective, mode of treatment and if one is not careful, then they may not get the sufficient help they need because of their beliefs.
