Hypnosis is a natural psychological state with physiological attributes superficially resembling sleep and marked by an individual’s level of awareness other than the ordinary conscious state.
A person under hypnosis has heightened focus and concentration with the ability to concentrate intensely on a specific thought or memory, while feeling increasing levels of relaxation and blocking out sources of distraction.
Many people come to the Hypnotherapist thinking that there is something about trance which is markedly different from their “normal” state of consciousness. This is definitely not the case. A Light Trance will likely feel no different from relaxation. Since trance is a normal, natural state, then clients will likely feel a feeling of familiarity, no matter how deep in trance they go because trance is not about feeling “zonked out;”.
It’s important to know that during the trance induction, the client is always in control and can only accept the suggestions that are consistent with his/her own internal values and beliefs.
