The Ultimate Mythbuster
For Hypnotism
© Kroll Care. All Rights Reserved.
Hypnosis has always been surrounded by many myths and misconceptions.
Ailments like chronic pain are also not left untouched by myths but despite
thorough scientific research and wide clinical use, hypnosis therapy still gives
some people the heebie-jeebies none the less. A mere stigma that hypnosis is a
mystical or esoteric procedure contributes to them feeling afraid.
Some people assume hypnosis is a recent innovation of the New Age
movement, and that it spread through metaphysical communities in the 1970s
and 1980s.
As a matter of fact, hypnosis has been used in the United States since the
mid-1800s.
The method was coined by the legends of modern psychology like Sigmund
Freud, Pierre Janet, and Alfred Binet among others.
This article is aimed at busting the myths about hypnosis prevalent from ancient
times with the help of investigations by modern psychologists and researchers.
Myth #1: The hypnotist will start controlling my mind!
• No one can control your mind unless you let them.
• The job of a Hypnotherapist is to give you suggestions that you are in need
of based on the Pre-Hypnotic Interview.
• At no point during a session will you feel like you are not in control of your
mind.
• If you don't agree with a suggestion that you hear, or don't understand,
your subconscious mind will reject it automatically.

Myth #2: The hypnotist will make me perform embarrassing acts, such as bark
like a dog, or walk like a duck.
• The above assumption is based on Stage Hypnotism and Hollywood
fiction.
• The truth, on the other hand, is, these people are just acting on stage, and
they allow themselves to participate in funny suggestions.
• Hypnotherapy is a process for self-improvement, not entertainment.
Myth #3: Hypnosis is a kind of "Black Magic" or is something "Supernatural"
• Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that has been investigated scientifically.
• Hypnotherapists are not psychics or palm readers.
• Hypnotherapy is based on numerous years of clinical research by famous
psychologists.
• Nicole, who works in a clinic that provides pain management in Atlanta GA
is a licensed associate professional counselor. She completed her Master’s
of Science in Mental Health Counseling, from the University of Wyoming.
Just like her, all professionals in this field have a degree backed by science.
Myth #4: If I am hypnotized, I may not be able to snap out of it
• Hypnosis is very safe and is a state of hyperawareness.
• If there is an emergency, a person would easily be able to come out of the
Hypnotic state by opening their eyes and stretching or speaking.

Myth #5: I have never been in the hypnotized state ever before
• Every person on this planet naturally enters a state of hypnosis at least
twice every day.
• The first one is just before falling asleep at night, and the other one is
while waking up every morning.
• Many people tend to easily enter 'Environmental Hypnosis' while watching
a movie, watching TV, driving on the highway, or while reading a good
book.
• As mentioned on their website, Kroll Care believes in the quote of
Hippocrates that states, “Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.”
