Hypnosis vs. hypnotherapy



What is Hypnosis?



Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention. This can be achieved by reaching a state of deep relaxation.


Hypnosis is a state of reverie or visualization/ideation, in total awareness. We can hear sounds, open our eyes, and even walk. It is a state of increased focus to thoughts that we want to uncover from our innermost being.


We decide what to say, what not, how to say it. We can choose when to come out of the hypnotic state. During hypnosis, we can remember forgotten events, reprogram behaviors, enhance our abilities and performance levels. We can obtain enough focused awareness to relieve and/or manage pain. It is the most rapid and effective psychology tool to correct behaviors and live a healthy life.



¿Qué es la hipnosis?



La hipnosis es un estado natural de atención. Esto puede lograrse al alcanzar un estado de relajación profunda. La hipnosis es un estado de somnolencia o ideación de sueños, en cuales somos conscientes, podemos escuchar sonidos, abrir los ojos, incluso mover el cuerpo. Es un estado de mayor atención o enfoque a los pensamientos que queremos descubrir de nuestro ser más interno.


Durante el trance decidimos qué decir, qué no decir y cómo decirlo. También podemos elegir cuando salir del estado hipnótico o trance. Durante la hipnosis, podemos recordar hechos olvidados, reprogramar comportamientos, mejorar nuestras habilidades y niveles de rendimiento. Podemos obtener suficiente discernimiento para aliviar o controlar el dolor. Es la herramienta más rápida y eficaz de Psicología para corregir comportamientos y llevar una vida física y mental sana.



What does a hypnotherapist do?



He or she is a certified professional with a deep understanding and educational knowledge in the mental health field. Most experienced hypnotherapist have an advanced college degree in psychology, medicine, social work, or other sciences.


The hypnotherapist or hypnotist uses guided relaxation to achieve a heightened state of awareness or trance. This heightened level of awareness can help many clients face and cope with challenges, bring awareness to past events (regression), help manage certain unwanted behaviors, and even control pain.





¿Qué hace un hipnoterapeuta?



Él o ella es un profesional certificado con una profunda comprensión y conocimiento educativo en el campo de salud mental. Los hipnoterapeutas con experiencia tienen un grado universitario avanzado en psicología, medicina, trabajo social o en otras ciencias.


El hipnoterapeuta o hipnotizador lo guía para obtener un nivel profundo de relajación y alcanzar un estado elevado de conciencia o de trance. Este mayor nivel de conciencia puede ayudar a muchos clientes hacer frente a ciertos retos, concientizar ciertos eventos pasados (regresión a la causa), recatar ciertos comportamientos no deseados y controlar muchos dolores y padecimientos.




How much of our brain do we consciously use?



According to past beliefs, humans only use about 10% of their brain capacity— Through functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) it has been proven that brain activity takes up more than said 10% area of the brain during any given moment.


What if we could tap into whatever percentage of the brain we don't use?


The brain is the organ associated with our mind and consciousness but what about the deeper layers of thought, those which we don’t realize are automatically taking place during every millisecond of our lives?


The subconscious mind or the preconscious mind is the accessible information you are aware of and can use as memory recall. Then there’s a much deeper level, the unconscious, where we store primitive, instinctual wishes as well as information that is not easily accessible. This unconscious depth of the mind stores beliefs, patterns, subjective maps of reality formed from the very beginning of our lives, and are the driving force of our behaviors and current thought patterns. Ultimate relaxation or trance achieved with a hypnotist will help you find the power to get to know yourself better and even make changes.




¿Cuánto de nuestro cerebro consciente usamos?




De acuerdo a creencias pasadas, los seres humanos utilizan sólo 10% de su capacidad cerebral,

A través de la resonancia magnética funcional (IRMf) se ha demostrado que la actividad cerebral ocupa más del 10% del área del cerebro en cualquier momento dado. De todos modos ¿qué pasaría si pudiéramos aprovechar cualquier porcentaje del cerebro que no usamos?

El cerebro es el órgano asociado con nuestra mente y conciencia, pero ¿qué pasa con las capas más profundas del pensamiento, esas capas que automáticamente se activan durante cada milisegundo de nuestras vidas?

La mente subconsciente o la mente pre-consciente es la que contiene información accesible que usted ya conoce y se utiliza para acceder a información almacenada en nuestra mente. Pero también hay un nivel mucho más profundo, el inconsciente, donde almacenamos nuestro ser primitivo, deseos instintivos, así como la información que no es fácilmente accesible. Esta profundidad inconsciente de la mente almacena creencias, patrones, mapas subjetivos de la realidad que se han formados desde el principio de nuestras vidas y son la fuerza impulsora de nuestros comportamientos y patrones de pensamiento actual. Suma relajación o trance que se alcanza durante la hipnosis le ayudará a tener un mejor conocimiento de su persona e incluso hacer cambios.



Can I be hypnotized



Seven out of 10 people are easily hypnotized. Some individuals may require more than one session to become totally relaxed and enjoy the hypnosis experience, while others will never be able to reach the relaxation state that enables a person to accept the implantation of suggestions.




How does hypnotherapy work to quit smoking or to control weight issues?



The suggestions given by a professional hypnotherapist work on the part of the brain that generates automatic thoughts. In the case of addictions, whether it is smoking, unhealthy eating habits, and/or many other addictive undesirable behaviors, the goal of the hypnotherapist is to bring unhealthy issues to the surface. Once these thoughts or emotions are revealed, the main objective is to replace them with positive and healthy thoughts and behaviors.




How important is your comfort level with your hypnotherapist?



Prior to being hypnotized, clients fill out paperwork establishing the parameters of the hypnosis sessions. One of the parameters is the importance of confidentiality and also your role as an active participant in your well-being. In order to feel comfortable and understood by the hypnotherapist, it is important to create a professional and therapeutic relationship. This will promote trust during sessions and motivate the resolution of the addressed issues.
