Does Hypnotherapy Work?
Does Hypnotherapy Work? What Hypnosis Feels Like and Whether You Stay in Control If you’ve never experienced hypnotherapy before, it can sound a bit mysterious. Does hypnotherapy actually work? What does hypnosis feel like? Do you stay in control? What if your mind wanders or you can hear every word? In this episode of the Shetland Resolve Calm-Cast, Diane talks about how hypnotherapy works in practice , what being hypnotised can actually feel like and why you don’t need to disappear into a deep trance for it to be useful. She explains why consciously understanding a problem doesn’t always change an automatic response and how hypnotherapy can help work with that gap. You’ll also hear why your mind wandering doesn’t mean hypnosis has stopped working, what hypnotic suggestion really means and why the most useful sign of change is often what happens afterwards , rather than how dramatic the experience felt while you were listening.
