Benefits Of Hypnosis

• Hypnosis has been used by criminologists, psychologists, and other mind specialists to control behavior in a patient. It has been used to treat phobias, allowing a subject to face and endure situations that once may have immobilized them.
  
  
• Hypnosis has been used in many self-improvement categories, such as weight loss, nail-biting, and smoking. It has been used to control bed-wetting and thumb-sucking habits in young patients.
  
  
• Many of the programs that enhance intelligence or education-related skills involve the use of hypnosis -- speed reading and memorization improvement are two examples. Individuals simply seeking to better themselves in their professional careers may seek the services of a hypnotist; the same holds true of artists of all kinds -- actors, musicians, writers.
  
  
• Hypnotherapy has become more and more widely accepted because it does not involve potentially habit-forming drugs, has no serious side-effects and is inexpensive.

• In hypnosis, the “patient” opens his/her mind to be controlled by another person. This can be very dangerous, because the person loses control of judgment. Oftentimes, the person who is hypnotized believes anything he/she is told.
  
  
• There is a risk of being exploited by the hypnotist or another person.
  
  
• Under hypnosis, the “patient” has the potential for doing something illegal or unethical.
  
  
• Physical accidents sometimes occur as a result of hypnosis.
