Is hypnosis all about sleeping?
As a counselor, I often meet clients like Xiao Yang. That day, he walked into my consulting room with a tired face and began to complain about his insomnia as soon as he sat down.
I can't sleep all the time, I think about everything when I lie in bed, you say, can hypnosis help me solve this problem? He asked me.
I looked at him with a smile: "Hypnosis, for you, is it the way to make people fall asleep quickly?" ”
He nodded: "Almost, I think hypnosis should be like that." ”
I smiled softly and decided to use a story to help him sort out the concept. I told a story about a girl who overcame her dark fears through hypnosis. In the story, the girl does not fall asleep directly, but enters a relaxed, focused state through hypnosis, and finally successfully confronts and overcomes her fears.
After the story was finished, I looked at Xiao Yang: "Now, do you still think that hypnosis is sleeping?" ”
He shook his head thoughtfully: "It doesn't seem to be the same. Hypnosis is more of a state of mind than just sleeping. ”
I nodded: "That's right, hypnosis is actually a state of deep relaxation and concentration. It can help us reach out to the subconscious and solve some deep-seated problems. For insomnia, hypnosis can help you adjust your sleep patterns and develop better sleep habits. But most importantly, it helps you get to the root of your insomnia and address the root cause. ”
Xiao Yang listened very carefully. Then he asked me, "Can I try hypnosis?" I want to solve my insomnia problem. ”
I told him of course and explained in detail the process of hypnosis and the possible effects. A few weeks later, Yang came to the consultation room again and told me that his insomnia problem had improved greatly and that he now had a deeper understanding and awareness of hypnosis.
So, hypnosis is not the same as sleeping. It is a powerful psychological tool that can help us reach out to our innermost problems and solve them. If you have similar troubles or problems, you might as well try hypnosis, maybe it will open a whole new door for you.
