Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind in which you are very relaxed, and at the same time have heightened focus and concentration. In this state you are more responsive to images and ideas. Hypnosis is usually done with the help of a therapist using verbal repetition and mental imagery, and the goal is to teach you to control your own states of mind. Usually the hypnotist will teach you self-hypnosis so that you can practice on your own.
Most people have acquired misinformation about hypnosis from movies, and worry that the person who is hypnotized is under someone else's control, but the opposite is true. In hypnosis, you actually take control of your life by using more of your mental abilities. It's really nothing like it is in the movies. Recall the last time you drove to a familiar place and suddenly there you were, and you didn't remember driving there at all -- you were relaxed and concentrating on your own inner thoughts. That's what it feels like to be hypnotized.
You may have heard that only certain people can be hypnotized, but in reality, anyone who wants to can be hypnotized. A strong-willed person actually goes into a hypnotic state very quickly, once they have made that decision.
Anyone can learn to use self-hypnosis and visualization, and use them as powerful tools for optimizing your performance.
Hypnotherapy is relaxing and enjoyable! It is approved by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the National Institutes of Health.
