Using Self Hypnosis Well
If you are already using self-hypnosis in a negative way, then it
is good to be aware of that so you notice when you are doing it.
It’s also important to know what to do instead.
Preparing to Succeed with Self Hypnosis
When hypnotised, a person can rehearse a problem situation whilst
feeling comfortable. Although simple, this is a highly effective
way to prepare the mind and body to respond in the required manner
when the situation arises for real. It can give the subject the
feeling that they have successfully negotiated it before, and allow
them access to the skills they need.
This is particularly effective because, as with dreaming, the emotions
and body respond as if the hypnotic experience is real. You do not
distinguish between actual and imagined reality. Hence the fact
that you can imagine something scary now and feel scared!
Done repeatedly, this imagination can lead to you responding in
a frightened way when you encounter the actual situation. Hence,
the prevalence of fear around public speaking!
