Hypnosis is the by-pass of the critical factor of the conscious mind (a persons analytical and judgmental ability) followed by the establishment of acceptable selective thinking.
U.S. Dept. of Education
Over the years that hypnosis has been used as a therapy a number of claims have been made that are purely speculative, having no basis in reality. Trained professional therapists steer well clear of these often ridiculous claims. Remember that the skill of anyone who uses hypnosis is in the construction and application of suggestion. Suggestion used beneficially by a skilled and ethical therapist will bring about positive change for good. Sadly the public perception of hypnosis and hypnotherapy is still being soured by poorly trained and inexperienced hypnotists who insist on making outlandish claims for their art. Hypnosis will not give you psychic powers, make your breasts larger or make you taller. However hypnotherapy will help you overcome a fear or phobia, stop smoking, manage your weight, control pain, manage depression and improve performance.
