Can anyone go into a trance?
So many times client’s will come for help after they have been told that they “couldn’t be hypnotized.” What I have found after more than 30 years in practice is that anyone who is of at least average to above in intelligence, and who wants to, can go into a trance state.
The following is a true story and just proves my point that at times it isn’t the client that is the problem, it is the lack of rapport, a lack of knowledge, or not enough skill. I don’t tell this story to brag or say what great hypnotist I am, I tell it to let people know that they shouldn’t give up hope. If they want to use hypnosis as a technique in getting what they want in life, keep searching for the mentor and he or she will appear.
I just had a really bright, kind, depressed and somewhat angry graduate student come in for help with a sleep problem. This problem was so severe it had cause her to take a leave from grad school. And as we talked I could see that this problem was very complex, it wasn’t just about insomnia. She had already tried everything she could think of, including medication and classical hypnosis. But the roots went so deep that she couldn’t fix it on the conscious level.
The sad thing was that she believed that she couldn’t be hypnotized. When she first started having this problem she went to a friend, who was studying hypnosis. She found that she wasn’t able to “go under.” Then off to another “real” hypnotist who said that she just wasn’t a good subject.
Some of her anger came from the feeling of being stuck with this terrible problem. It saddened me so see her frustration, believing she wasn’t “a hypnotic candidate” This added to her stress and overwhelm. She truly believed “she couldn’t use hypnosis and trance” to get to the bottom of this problem. Somehow she found my website and had the courage to call the Anxiety Control Center.
As anyone who knows me understands, I enjoy helping people to tap into their inner potential, and I also enjoy a challenge. So of course I took her on as a client. I was so sure of her ability to tap help inner resources, that I even offered a guarantee. She would have hope after our first double session, or I wouldn’t charge for it. Just talking on the phone had already convinced me that we could work together. She was creative, intelligent and had a real desire to change. These are the qualities that make a wonderful hypnotic “subject”.
Well, I’ve worked with her for 4 sessions and have found that not only is she able to go into trance. She is so good at it that her unconscious picks up on things outside conscious awareness. I “hold the belief” that people I see are great hypnotic subjects and the unconscious mind does an amazing job of proving me correct.
