Hypnosis Pre Talk 

Let me explain a few important things about hypnosis beforehand so you understand what hypnosis is and what it is not:

Our  mind  is  made  up  of  three  different  parts.  We  have  the  conscious  mind,  the subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind. 

The conscious mind is very logical and analytical; it is also where willpower resides. 

However, it only has a 5 -10% influence on our decisions and who, what, and how we are. 

We have something else in the conscious mind: it’s called the “critical factor." This critical 

factor is like an employee of the subconscious mind, but it lives in the conscious mind. 

There, it functions as a kind of a doorman or a firewall. 

The critical factor is really good at what it does. It filters all positive and negative 

suggestions coming from outside and makes an initial analysis to see if they make sense. 

It then takes these filtered suggestions and communicates them to the subconscious 

mind. We don’t know how it happens, just that it does.

Then we have the subconscious mind, where the real ME is at home. 

The subconscious mind is 90 - 95% responsible for who, what, and how we are. Among other things, this is where long-term memory is at home, as well as emotions and habits. It is highly intelligent and yet very spontaneous and juvenile . It does things sometimes that don't seem logical to the outside world but often happen intuitively or out of habit.

All bodily functions are located in the unconscious part of our brain, such as breathing, heartbeat, wound healing, or digestion. It cooperates with the vegetative system of the body and is influenced by the psyche but has no further implications for hypnosis.

The state of hypnosis is 100% natural, and every person knows this state but is often 

unaware of it. Like sleep or the waking state, hypnosis is a third, less known state. People 

can enter hypnosis spontaneously or intentionally, either with the help of a hypnotist or 

through self-hypnosis techniques.

For example, you get into your car completely lost in thought and drive off. Suddenly you 

arrive home and wonder who was driving the car during the time you were lost in 

thought. Top athletes are able to do it naturally as they imagine how they’ll win.. 

Hypnosis has nothing to do with:

• Sleep or being unconsciousness. During Hypnosis your mind is 2 - 3 times sharper than it is right now and you will remember every thing that was said  
• It’s not about weakness or lack of willpower. The conscious mind will do every thing to protect the subconscious, so it will sabotage what your trying to change if it doesn’t like it. 

• You can not get stuck in hypnosis. People love being in the hypnotic state, but you can pull your self out with no problem , just open your eyes. 

•  It’s not about Religion or the supernatural 

• Its not a Truth serum - you can lie to me if you want . You are in charge of what you say . 

I can’t make you do some thing you don’t want to do, like tell you to jump out a window . You’ll just open an eye and say are you crazy ? 

In Hypnosis I need your spontaneous, emotional answers and reactions - the first thoughts and feelings that come up. Suppressing emotions is an energy-draining power play. The harder you try to hold down an emotion, the more energy you have to spend. The stronger a feeling becomes, the deeper it takes root. Just let your emotions out, regardless of what they may be. We'll make much faster progress. The reason people give for their problem is wrong in most cases. We may think we know why we have a problem, but the real cause often lies deeply hidden in the subconscious mind. For example, a client says, “I’m depressed 

because my spouse left me.” That’s the conscious, rational mind saying that, or a 

reflection of what the client has been talked into it or diagnosed, so to speak.

That could very well be the so-called FSE (Final Sensitizing Event) but not the underlying 

reason someone becomes depressed.

I do hypnosis, not psychotherapy. It’s like a barrel with a plugged-up drain, filling up, drop by drop. At some point, a single drop overflows the barrel - why should we concentrate on this final drop (symptom)? Whatever it is that’s clogging the drain has to be removed so the water can flow normally again. The cause and not the last drop made the barrel overflow. But it’s that “last drop” that most people remember, and that’s what many other talk therapy forms focus on. In Hypnosis we don’t keep talking about a traumatizing event over and over , that just re traumatizes the person and that type of therapy can go on for years with no solution. In hypnosis, using uncovering methods, we get to the root of the problem. The real cause, the plug, lies deeply buried in the subconscious mind, and in 95% of cases, a person's self-established theories or the diagnoses they may have received are way off the mark. A problem is only really eliminated when it is resolved or neutralized in the subconscious, 

Problems in the subconscious are seldomly resolved with logic and willpower. In hypnosis, the filtered suggestions are passed on to the subconscious mind. Here, the 

suggestions are compared with a person’s long-term programming stored in the long-term 

memory. Everything we have ever perceived with our five or six senses is recorded here. 

Consequently, every experience, including prenatal events (i.e., before birth), is stored 

permanently here.

Let’s take smokers, for example. They tell themselves, “smoking is unhealthy, smelly, 

expensive, the kids complain, and in winter, I have to go outside in the cold to smoke.” 

These are all logical reasons they should give up smoking. “Okay,” they say to 

themselves, “I will stop smoking for these reasons.” That’s a suggestion. This suggestion now goes through the filter known as the critical factor, which quickly checks to see if it makes sense - and yes, at the conscious, analytical level, it would be good to quit smoking. Fine. The suggestion is allowed through to the subconscious. This part of the mind then goes and checks the suggestion with the long-term programming stored in the 

long-term memory. The long-term programming, however, has an entirely separate logic in which unhealthy, smelly, and expensive can’t be found. The logic at this level says: “I feel accepted in the smoking group. When I smoke, it calms my nerves. I’m doing something forbidden. I feel grown­ up. "  Whatever is stored there is compared with the 

suggestion, “I will stop smoking because of x or y.” The long-term programming doesn’t correlate with the suggestion. Which one wins in the end? the unconscious 

mind.

People are not born with the fear of flying or the irresistible urge to smoke a cigarette. Your mother didn't try to calm you with a cigarette when you were three years old. The important detail here is to realize that habits you make at any point in your life are 

also habits that you can break at any point!

Just imagine everything that you have ever perceived with your senses - everything you have heard, seen, tasted, smelled, felt, or experienced - is stored in your subconscious mind. Perhaps you’ve already had this feeling. You hear a certain piece of music or smell some food, and suddenly you’re transported to a point in your past. You think, “Wow, that’s the music we danced to in kindergarten,” or “Oh, that’s what my granny used to cook,” or similar reactions. Emotions are aroused, perhaps images appear, and you feel as if it is all happening again. The feeling is so real, even though you thought you’d long ago forgotten these memories. They’re washed up into the conscious mind due to an external stimulus - a scent, a sound, a touch, or an image - that activates specific synapses in your brain. This brings up recollections that you believed had long been lost, and you wonder how that could happen. All these sensations have been stored in your subconscious. This is a purely random phenomenon, however. When we bring hypnosis into the process, we can eliminate chance. We can go back, in a targeted way, to any point in our lives and can relive everything again as if it were happening for the first time. 

We come now to the most important part of our subconscious mind: self-protection.  This mechanism protects us from real, as well as imagined, dangers. Imagine if we were here 

with another person, one who has a panic-stricken fear of snakes. And now, imagine a 

snake comes slithering into the room. None of us would find it funny, but the 

one with a snake phobia, at this point, will have lost control of all emotions. They might 

jump up on the table, shaking and unable to control themselves. You and I, meanwhile, will have somehow solved the problem of a snake in the room after the initial scare.

Now consider the same situation, only this time someone tosses a rubber snake into the room. At first, our eyes tell us: "Look out, snake!" The one with a snake phobia 

immediately jumps onto the table, shaking, and can't think straight or do anything. You 

and I can laugh about it and maybe even wiggle the rubber serpent in the face of the 

panic-stricken person, but that only makes the whole thing worse for the person whose subconscious mind literally cannot distinguish between real and imitation. The fear is genuine, even though the snake is fake. 

Why does negative programming go into the brain so much more easily than positive programming does? This is relatively simple to explain. We have to be able to recognize and process negative things, such as danger, much faster than we process positive things. This could stem from evolution, back when you would avoid a saber-tooth tiger . Phobics don’t really have a phobia of snakes, spiders, or whatever. There is only the fear of fear, and at some point, in an emotional moment, the subconscious projects the feeling of fear onto something. One time it’s flying, another time spiders, injections, the dentist, whatever, but in the end, it’s always only the emotion of fear. Although the subconscious is highly intelligent but juvenile-like, it’s also relatively lazy, slow, and happy in the comfort zone. It doesn’t really want to change the status quo because changing takes effort, which doesn't appeal to this part of our mind. Considerable effort to lay down the existing programming has already been made - there’s hardly any desire to reprogram now. Removing of these fears usually takes about half an hour to a maximum of three hours. Naturally, more complex cases are occasionally encountered, but they are somewhat rare.

In addition to the self-protection mechanism, we also find the seat of feelings and emotions 

in the subconscious. There are good, positive feelings that we like to have, such as love, 

warmth, security, togetherness, relaxation, etc. Then there are those feelings we find 

unpleasant, like anger, hate, guilt, loneliness, insecurity, and pain. When these negative 

feelings persist long enough, they can be transformed in the form of stomach ulcers, 

irritable bowel, cancer, etc. 

We can, however, positively influence the unconscious mind when, for example, it comes 

to preparing someone for an operation or helping them recover afterward. In some 

hospitals, surgeries are performed with hypnosis alone, with no anesthesia or narcotics at 

all. Dentists can help their patients stop bleeding, relieve pain, reduce the flow of saliva, or suppress the gagging reflex. They can extract teeth, install implants, and drill down to the root, all without injecting an anesthetic , just using hypnosis alone. Furthermore, they can positively influence wound healing so that a 50% faster recovery lies absolutely within the realm of possibility. In people suffering from cancer or other similar challenges, we can accompany the normal medical approaches with hypnosis and support these patients in a very positive way. We can strengthen the immune system as well as help manage the stress that follows the diagnosis. Furthermore, we can discover and resolve the mental-emotional causes that might have brought about the condition in the first place. 

Hypnosis can do an awful lot.
