The Power of Hypnosis

In the article “The Power of Hypnosis”, it talks about the way hypnosis is use now a days, to treat everything from chronic pain to poor study habits. Deirdre Barrett, in the article she talks about her first hypnotherapy case. She explains how most people think that no one what’s to be hypnotized because it shows weak-willed, however, she asserts that she has learned during her courses that hypnotizability is linked with intelligence, awareness and concentration. She talks about all the hypnosis heals, like how it is use to diminishes patients' pain and anxiety during surgery. The same way she uses hypnosis to make her patient stop smoking. In the second article I found on the site “science penguin” the article hypnosis, describes the meaning of the term. The term “hypnosis” derives from the Greek word hypnos , “sleep”, and the suffix –osis “(I) put to sleep”. This article explains that when some is in the state of hypnosis it is said that the person’s consciousness is in an extremely susceptible state open to suggestions. According to Diren, a person under hypnosis, is said to be in a state where they can block any distraction and can focus on a certain dream or thought in their mind. Many people believe that they cannot be hypnotized but, the fact is that anyone can be hypnotized, even when fully alert only if they are willing too. This article also talks about hypnotherapy and how it has performed well in healing warts, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis, which are skin diseases. Lastly this article explain how, a person can perform self-hypnosis as a form to increase motivation such as to reduce stress. This people who self hypnozed themselves use mind machines or sometimes hypnotic recordings. The 3rd source the book, the sect...

... something magical, that other people could actually take control of your body. But after doing a little more research I realized, that there is more than some making you raise your hands. It’s very natural for people to be hypnotized, like when you block out everything in your life and focus in one thing only. I guess that’s why people when they see someone cute, they say, “I am hypnotized” because they only concentrate in that cute someone. What I found very interesting was reading about hypnotherapy. It’s really amazing how I have heard so many stories about people trying to quit smoking and many have fail. But now just with a hypnotherapy some can simple stop smoking. The thing is that any one can hypnotize oneself, like when you are daydreaming. So now I will start to hypnotize myself with the help of hypnosis videos on YouTube, to unstressed myself, wink wink.
