Hypnosis shows on TV are one of the biggest reasons why people put their trust in hypnotherapy. The viewer can clearly see an effect of the hypnosis. And as the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words.

There is something pretty dramatic about someone closing their eyes on stage. Closing your eyes is something that is done in sleep. It has many implications. It naturally implies that it is safe to do so, that you can trust the hypnotist, and that this is a normal thing to do. That somebody closes their eyes as soon as the TV hypnotist clicks their fingers is very impressive. After all, if a friend of yours or a business associate clicked their fingers, you would not close your eyes, let alone look asleep! So one gets the feeling that the TV hypnotist is very powerful or at least doing something very powerful indeed.

As well as closing their eyes, volunteers for TV hypnosis usually do things that they would not normally do. They eat an onion, asserting that it is an apple. They count the 5 fingers on one hand and get to six, as if by magic. They may behave like a little girl or an old man. They may even act like a chicken, complete with clucking sounds. And they seem to really believe it. Now that is really impressive.

Maybe the first time you see TV shows about hypnosis, you are half-believing and half-doubting it. After witnessing a few shows though, one can only believe that something is indeed going on.

Then at the end of the show, the hypnotist clicks their fingers and the volunteers kind of wake up, startled. They really look as if they have just been woken from sleep and wonder how they got there. One by one, they look around and seem to understand that they are back in the show. As if they had been somewhere far away in a dream. The volunteers then laugh at their own silly antics and look happy to be there.

Stage hypnosis is pretty much the same. Many people go to see a hypnosis show out of curiosity. Or perhaps they go because they are convinced no-one can influence them and want to put it to the test. And mostly, they go for fun. After all it is entertainment.

Increasingly of late, TV and stage hypnotists have been also doing hypnosis for therapeutic reasons. In other words, they move on to hypnotherapy. Even some TV shows now have hypnotherapy with a goal in mind, such as control over food cravings or a phobia.

As well as actual shows on TV, you get some very motivational infomercials. Some hypnotherapists become household names and sell many hypnotherapy CDs and DVDs. And with many satisfied customers. Maybe you know someone who has benefited from such a self-help tool.

I have always been fascinated how clients come to me for hypnotherapy convinced that it will cure their ills, simply because they saw it on TV. Whether it will have lasting results or not is another matter. However, chances are that it will offer much-needed help. It may even lead to further help and a great new beginning. In the grand scheme of things, it is good that people put their trust in hypnotherapy. They move on and discover a better life.

And all because of something they saw on TV.

Hypnotherapy or hypnosis… Can you be hypnotized? Can you be more hypnotized than you thought possible?Think about it. What is your favourite place to shop? What brand of coffee/tea/beer/clothes/food do you buy? Any message repeated over and over again has an effect. Just look at advertising. You hear the same message over and over again. And the advertisers spend a great deal of money repeating their message to us. Naturally, they would only do it because it works.

Most of us have our favourite place to shop.  We may have our favourite magazines, favourite clothes, or favourite food and drink.  And we may think that this is purely our own choice.  But what if this is because of advertising?  Or more succinctly, our response to advertising?

Any message repeated over and over again has an effect.  You hear the same message over and over again.  And the advertisers spend a great deal of money repeating their message to us.  Naturally, they would only do it because it works.

Anyone who has studied Hypnotherapy and NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) knows how to develop positive hypnotic  suggestions.  The trick is in turning the language into positive talk.  And when you hear the same positive affirmations over and over again, they begin to have an effect.  They may even have a profound effect on your thinking and general attitude to life.  You may find yourself using these affirmations in your self-talk without even seeing it.

Since advertising works so well, then positive affirmations do work.  It is just a matter of hearing that good message over time.  You may start viewing life from a different perspective.  You may feel calmer and more at ease with yourself.  The world may seem like a better place.

Hypnotherapy is very popular because it helps make fast positive changes.  To most seekers of hypnosis, its value seems to lie in the depth of the hypnosis.  After all, we have all witnessed hypnotic TV shows where the participants walk around clucking like chickens and flapping their wings.  And you may be surprised to find that it is the part that happens during hypnosis that activates the changes, rather than the act of deep relaxation.

We all know someone who is nice to be with.  Perhaps this is a friend, colleague, or someone we do business with.  This is someone that we can always depend on.  He or she is always helpful, ready with a smile, and says nice things to us.  Maybe you know a sales assistant who is like this, and you go out of your way to buy from them.  Or perhaps you have a friend who is so positive, you always try to make time for them.  This is because they have this way about them that makes you feel good.

We all know people who always complain.  In fact, they seem unhappy unless they are telling their latest tale of woe.  And a lot of woe befalls them.  And they talk about it even more.  It can be depressing just listening to someone being so negative, even if they do not mean to.

The trick is in turning negative self-talk into positive self-talk.  This is a skill that anyone can learn.
