Weight Loss Hypnosis - Is Hypnosis Temporary?

Is Hypnosis It Temporary?

Not only is Hypnosis not temporary, nothing could be further from the truth. But this again is a common myth and misconception. Hypnosis is as temporary as any knowledge that we know and learn. When you learn to ride a bicycle is that learning temporary? Even if you stopped riding for many years, does that mean that it's temporary? No, of course not! Of course we could choose to ride or not ride, because that is our free will. Again, we need to review that hypnosis is not dangerous. If hypnosis was about taking away people's choices, that would be dangerous. But by connecting you through many positive responses to the correct behaviors, an effective hypnotist is able to use those good feelings to guide their clients to a healthy and fit new life. For example, when using hypnosis to lose weight the hypnotist will connect good positive feelings to healthier food choices and bad negative feelings to the unhealthy food choices. This is to guide you from your unconscious/subconscious to correct behaviors that will lead to weight loss.

Studies Show Permanency of Hypnosis

The National Institutes of Health shows over 5000 clinical research studies as of December, 2004 having to do with hypnosis and its benefits currently being conducted worldwide. A study of note published by the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine : JCSM : Official Publication of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, that had a 5 year follow up was "The Treatment of Parasomnias with Hypnosis: a 5-Year Follow-Up Study by Peter J. Hauri, Ph.D., Michael H. Silber, M.B.Ch.B., and Bradley F. Boeve, M.D. This study showed that of the large number of subjects that were symptom-free or at least much improved almost 90% of them maintained the change at the 5 year mark.


Free Will vs. Permanent Programming

There is free will in every human being. Experienced and well trained hypnotists create permanent changes in beliefs, behaviors, and perceptions. These permanent changes last as long as their subjects want them to last when instructed so. So while a permanent suggestion is placed into the subconscious, if the subject, through free will, chooses to behave in the old way, this is not an indication that the <u>hypnosis</u> was temporary. It is only the exercising of free will that is evident. Now if the client wanted to behave in the correct way but seemed to be unable to follow through on their wishes by some kind of uncontrollable urge - that is an entirely different response. That is evidence of some kind of feeling based response. Those feelings are our most powerful motivators, so any unresolved feelings or incorrect feelings left in place will assuredly overwhelm the permanent suggestions. It is now proven that it is time for the client to resolve the feelings that are presently dictating his behavior.

Becoming Familiar With Change

There is also a certain level of familiarity that comes with experience over time. Any time we get something new, it's newness is it's most impressive quality. As we get used to it, it's "newness" seems to wear off. It is probably just as effective as it's always been, but it just doesn't have the shine or polish. If a feeling of gratitude were to be connected to a certain behavior that we wanted to perform, then every time we did that behavior we would feel that gratitude. After awhile, that behavior would become habit, second nature, and that level of gratitude wouldn't seem so special. Now we are ready for the next level of behavior and increased gratitude to continue along our path of growth and experience.

So hypnosis is certainly not temporary, nor a temporary fix. It's meant to move us into the future, onto the path of correct behaviors and more important goals.
