Hypnosis frequently asked questions (FAQ) answered here. Ask your question or find the answer in others queries about Hypnosis, Hypnotism, Hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis and more. If you have any further definitions you'd like added here, please email me and I'll be happy to add them.  Question from A**** Answer from Grant The induction of a trance and then giving the appropriate suggestions while someone is in that trance for the purposes you've mentioned should only be carried out by an experienced Hypnotherapist. But it's easy enough to learn basic Hypnotherapy. Take a look at this great short course. Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy. In the meantime,
if you look on the
HypnoLinks
International page of my website you may be able to locate a Hypnotherapist

Hypnosis is a natural state, but requires some basic knowledge to induce easily. Then you need to learn how to utilise that trance state - for either therapy or entertainment. Anyone that you attempt to hypnotize must be willing for you to do so. And, once they have succeeded in attaining a trance state, you cannot control them or force them to do anything against their will. I strongly
suggest that if you are keen to learn the art of Hypnosis - for either
entertainment or therapy purposes; that you seek professional tuition via
one of my Hypnosis
ebooks or courses.
I have seen stage hypnotists a few times. What intrigues me the most are post-hypnotic suggestions. I have seen people wide awake, back in the audience, chatting away....then the cue word is given-and they're up and about clucking like chickens, dancing, running around doing anything and everything silly. I guess my question is-why? What goes through their mind once the p.h. suggestion is given? Do they realize what they are doing? I feel no matter how deeply hypnotized I was, there would be no possible way a simple cue word could trigger such ridiculous behavior. I'm not refering to suggestions to take off a shoe or stand up...those are everyday activities. But to hear a cue word and then suddenly act out ridiculuos, silly suggestions without having a care in the world baffles me. How is this possible? Also, when people are hynotized, do they know they are hypnotized? Do they know they are up on stage acting out silly suggestions? I've a million more, but I've babbled enough. I'm sorry if there are too many. I guess answer whatever one is the easiest. Hope your eyes haven't fallen out by all my questions I just threw upon you. Thanks. reminded after the show. Sometimes they know what they are doing on-stage but lack the desire to stop themselves - providing the task is non-threatening. No-one can be forced to enter a trance against their will, or to perform tasks they don't want to while in that trance state. A trigger word or action is simply a signal to perform the requested task. I've often had people refuse to do things on stage because it was contrary to their morals or beliefs. I guess the only way for you to know for sure how it feels is to try it! I once was doing a show where I'd picked a deeply hypnotised subject to perform as Elvis! I gave him all the usual suggestions (I'd done it many times before during other shows), introduced Elvis to the audience, counted to 3 and started "Jailhouse Rock". The guy simply opened his eyes, glared at me and said: "I HATE ELVIS!" Ooops! I could not bypass his critical faculty enough to "make" him do something he hated! As I am also a Registered Hypnotherapist, I must add that for therapy purposes, a much lighter trance is usually adequate - as the client and the Hypnotist are very much working together to help the client achieve a DESIRED result.

Yes I sure do offer training! I have a homestudy course and a 5 day practical course. See more at www.hypnotherapy.ac.nz If you look
at the bottom of my page "Directory
of NZ Hypnotherapists" you'll see a listing for the NZ Association
of Professional Hypnotherapists - of which I am a member. There are
other institutions covering Hypnotherapists in NZ but the NZAPH is definitely
the biggest.
Question from B**** Thank you for your assistance in advance.
I suggest you
check the credentials of your chosen Hypnotherapist and and that he/she
is registered with a major Hypnotherapy organisation. Perhaps you
could ask a few friends who may have had positive experiences with Hypnotherapists
to recommend one for you. The final choice is of course yours - you
must be comfortable with the Hypnotherapist you choose.
how far I can get, really motivated to do so. How can you help? Answer from Grant Yes I probably can help you with your golf - sports motivation (esp golf) is one of my fortes. As you're aware, golf is a game played more mentally than physically. With Hypnotherapy (especially my style of Motivational Hypnotherapy) you can learn how to more easily focus your mind towards what you're trying to achieve. I have recently
mentally trained a young golfer up to turning "professional", and he also
used my Play
Better Golf recording to assist him - as hundreds of others have.
Question from B**** Grant I've been practicing hypnosis for about 8 years and have been involved in small partys etc non smoking, weight loss with hypnosis and qualified as a hypnotherapist 4 years ago I've read so much about the rapid induction but are these people few and far between or am I missing something ? I have various book on hypnosis (26 in all ) and none really go into detail about the subject ,only mentioning it in brief. Any thing you can e mail? Look forward to your reply with interest. Answer from Grant Instant (or rapid) inductions are generally the domain of the stage show. As both a Hypnotherapist and a Stage Hypnotist I see many chances for instant inductions on stage and in the clinic. Rapid inductions should only be attempted when you're confident of the outcome, or your credibility will suffer. On stage, I find the best time for an initial rapid induction is at the outset of the show following a sucessful testing procedure such as a hand clasp when the subjects entire concentration is focused on me. After the initial induction on stage (whether rapid or normal) it's usual practice for all re-inductions during the show to be rapid as a response to a trigger - such as the instruction "Sleep", with an accomanying finger click for effect. In the clinical situation, the only times I use rapid induction techniques are when a client has returned for followup therapy and is forming a history of easy entry into a trance state. Of course in this situation (as with subsequent reinductions on stage) the client has had previously been "primed" during an earlier session with the use of some "ease of reinduction" suggestions. Your own confidence,
coupled with experience at picking the appropriate client and timing will
all have a huge effect on the success of any induction.
It's a question that would have dozens of answers and most of them as variable as the Hypnotherapists you ask. The most consistant answer would be probably be that specific amnesia is inconsistant but very obtainable in many cases. Generally, a deep somnambulistic state of trance would need to be achieved before specific amnesia that was to last for any length of time would be obtained. The Subconscious will itself sometimes block extremely unpleasant or traumatic memories, so it therefore figures that with some assistance (Hypnotherapy) we can also help "block" specific events or times that we may choose to. However the
best way to prevent old memories from being so clear, is to overlay them
with new ones! A good regime of positive visualization and affirmation
will usually do that for you. You can even learn it by yourself by using
my "Be
The Person You Want To Be" recording - which outlines a couple of rules
for effective visualization and affirmation construction.
