Is Hypnotherapy all about mind control?
Hollywood has lead many to believe that hypnosis can make you lose the control of your mind to a hypnotist. Thus, many people believe hypnosis makes you lose control, but the truth is—you’re fully aware and in charge the entire time. In fact, a hypnotherapist can not make you do something you are unwilling to do. That is part of the reason sometimes that hypnotherapy doesn't work for everyone.
Hypnotherapy helps you tap into your subconscious mind to break habits, reduce stress, and reprogram limiting beliefs. The subconscious operates under the radar of what we are actively aware. Therefore, you may not realize that you're having negative thought patterns stemming from years of negative self-talk. When you enter a state of hypnosis, you can become aware of these negative thought patterns and rewire them to your best positive outcome.
