Busting The Myths About Hypnosis

20200731_115219_0001[1]

Before your start hypnosis read this: What happens to your mind during hypnosis.

 

"I am intrigued to try out hypnosis as I heard a lot about it by Maris Peer. But I fear that hypnosis will cause me any harm. And I do not want to do something I do not want."

Thank you very much for your interest in hypnosis and its healing effect. Unfortunately, there are many myths around hypnosis mostly based on stage shows or inexperienced therapists.

On the surface this issue boils down to the question of ‘is hypnosis harmful?’ Is it that someone else is controlling your mind or things are coming to the surface that you do not want to know about.

Let’s start first with what hypnosis is. Hypnosis is a method of relaxation and concentration that provides access to a unique state of consciousness. 

This state is characterized on one side by increased insight and awareness.

This state is characterized on one side by increased insight and awareness. In this more active state you observe and make sense of the revealed subconscious material so that you can come up with goal directed activities. 

On the other side hypnosis is characterized by free access to unconscious material without the normal critical judgement. In this more receptive state you are more alert and very safe and in which suggestion can be made to help you make a positive change.

The experience of hypnosis is not different from experiencing a relaxing state or starting to fall asleep.

Hypnotherapy is not about the client being controlled - quite the opposite. 

Hypnosis is empowering you to find all the answers within yourself. You can always ‘reject’ a suggestion or tell the therapist what you want to hear. Have you ever heard about a hypnotherapist who became very rich because he/she made people donate him millions or rob a bank?

What you may have seen on stage shows is that members of the audience are specifically selected for the stage performance. These are people who wish to comply and have a desire to be extroverted. 

Hypnotherapy is NOT stage hypnosis!

Hypnotherapy is a way to work on physical symptoms like tension, fears, fatigue. Or if you find it difficult  to get along in your work or relationship with people; or if you feel irritable, unhappy and believe you are not getting the most out of life.

One of the most important aspects of the client/relationship is empathy and rapport. Therefore, I focus on empathy and trust and offer a free discovery session before any further agreement. 

It is also important to find out how long a therapist has been practicing hypnotherapy, if she is a specialist in a certain modality and if he has professional experience in the field of healing and counselling.

As with any modality it is the experience of the therapists and the rapport with the client that brings the expected change.

Self-Care As A Leader

20190925_155225_0000[1]

Silke, I can’t concentrate well! I take so much longer to structure my thoughts!” “I feel depleted of energy!” “I feel disconnected!”

The first question I normally ask my clients is: Did You SNEASE?

Let me show you my daily snease routine.

PicsArt_12-17-02.52.29[1]

1. Sleep

Get enough sleep. I have a daily routine of going to bed before midnight and wake up at 7 am. The brain needs enough time to restore memories, rejuvenate brain cells and flush out toxins.

2. Nutrition

Eat good Nutrition. After sleep the brain graves for fuel in form of glucose. My morning smoothie consists of fresh fruits (papaya and banana), whole grain oats, a scope of protein powder blended with coconut milk.

My lunch and dinner consists of good proteins (mainly fish, eggs and tofu), starchy carbohydrates (sweet potatoes, green bananas, brown rice) and lots of fresh vegetables.

In between I have some walnuts, apple, cottage cheese or kefir.

3. Emotional Control

Control your Emotions. During brain activities of writing and blogging I keep a brain focus app to indicate break times (for me 45 minutes brain focus and 8- 10 min break work best for me). During my “focus” time I keep away from social notifications.

I try to go for a short walk after lunch to activate my body.

Whenever I catch myself in negative thoughts or feelings I practice mindfulness of accepting and moving on.

4. Activity

Be Active. I work out at least three times a week - ranging from strength to flexibility training. Whenever I get a chance I walk at least 30 minutes a day.

I have a work schedule from 9 am - to 5 pm (even as an entrepreneur) and if I have not finished my tasks, I write them all down on notepads to come back to them the next day.

My coaching sessions count as elevated time for me.

At 7 pm I take another hour to attend to social media posts while my food is cooking in the background. For me cutting the vegetables and smelling the food is mindfulness practice.

5. Social

Be Social. I try to book one or two meetings with close friends every week to create meaning outside my work and to recharge my sense of belonging.

6. Enthusiasm

Ensure you have a mission. I try to align my work to a higher mission to elevate people to reach their fullest self. Knowing that I can live that mission in many ways, comforts me in times when things do not work out the way I planned.

 

Summary

SNEASE is a good structure to create your own SELF-CARE Program.
