The answer is a resounding “yes” – 99% of the time. When you learn what hypnosis actually is, you will realise that it is not what it is often made out to be.

Can I Be Hypnotised?What is hypnosis?

A hypnotic trance is a natural state of mind that most of us slip into several times every day. It is that state of mind where you are daydreaming or your mind is “somewhere else”.

When you are deeply engrossed in a book or the TV, you actually slip into a hypnotic trance. This is why advertisers pay so much for TV advertising. The audience are in a light hypnotic trance, and are therefore more suggestible to their messages.

Although it is a natural state of mind, not everyone can enter this state at will. Most people need some help. This is the role of the hypnotherapist. They are there to help you get into a hypnotic trance. It is perfectly possible to do this on your own, but it’s far easier with help.

Can I Be Hypnotized?It is not a battle of wills

Many people make the mistake of thinking that hypnosis is about a battle of wills. The hypnotist tries to over power the subject, and the subject tries to resist.

That is one big reason why many people say they cannot be hypnotised. They don’t want to admit that someone might be able to take over their mind – and I don’t blame them for not wanting to admit that! But here’s the truth…

The truth

Luckily the truth is that hypnosis is the complete opposite. A hypnotherapist is there to help a person achieve a trance state. They cannot force anything.

The subject can resist very easily. It is no challenge. The hypnotherapist relies on the subject to work with them. The actual skill on the part of the subject is being able to let go and allow their mind to enter this pleasantly calm and relaxing mindset.

It is a skill that improves over time

Getting your mind into a trance state is a skill that improves over time. Most people can successfully be guided into a hypnotic trance the first time they experience it, but some people have initial difficulty letting go. Out of those who experience difficulty. almost everyone after 2 or 3 sessions get there in the end.

Type of people who struggle

This is not 100% the case, but the typical person who struggles to get into a hypnotic trance is usually the type who struggles to relax. Some people spend their lives never relaxing, and simply don’t know how to. We all need to relax, and these type of people can receive enormous benefits once they do learn how to go into a hypnotic trance.

Not relaxing enough can lead to many knock on effects to your physical and mental health. So if at first you find difficulty, it is well worth persevering.

Type of people who excel

The more adventurous and creative people seem to have very little difficulty letting go and slipping into a peaceful trance. They probably live a percentage of their lives in this mindset anyway, so it is second nature to them. These people are often capable of achieving deep levels of trance.

Try it for yourself!

If you have never tried hypnotherapy, then why not give it a go? I can talk about it all day, but you won’t really understand what it is until you try it for yourself. It is perfectly safe and pleasantly relaxing.
