Hypnosis is a natural state which allows for easier access to the unconscious.
Clinical Hypnosis is a skill of using words and gestures in particular ways to achieve specific outcomes.
Hypnotherapy is therapy undertaken whilst in the state of hypnosis.
No.
The fear of losing control is the most often quoted reason people have for not trusting clinical hypnosis but it is not true that people lose control.
This statement is then most often rebuffed by the the statement, " ...but I saw on stage/TV/film/internet a man/woman who hopped around on one leg etc..."
People do hop around on one leg but do not need to be hypnotised to do so. When you watch someone "do" something at the request of a 'stage hypnotist' you are watching the finale of an exercise that has been going on for a considerable period prior to you witnessing that particular act that you remember.
Stage hypnotists look for extroverts to go on stage. There are many people who will go on stage and act out what they are told to, comedians, ventriloquists and magicians will have people 'come up on stage'. These people by their very nature are extroverts so they are quite happy to act out the requests of the stage leader whether that person is a hypnotist, comedian, magician or ventriloquist.
A clinical hypnotist, a qualified hypnotherapist is not looking for extroverts but rather is looking to help someone who themselves is asking for help.
A hypnotherapist is aware that everybody hypnotises them self rather than have anything 'done' to them.
To say that all hypnotists are the same is the same as saying all car drivers are the same.
When you watch car driving stunts in an Action film at the cinema you do not think for a second that you will drive that way suddenly when you leave the cinema even though you are totally absorbed in the film, so absorbed you are in effect hypnotised.
In the same way that you do not expect to and know that you will not lose control of yourself through watching a film equally you will not lose control of yourself during hypnosis.
Yes.
