How Does Hypnosis Work?

All creatures have two distinct minds: the conscious mind or Central Nervous System (CNS) and the unconscious mind. This unconscious mind is the Autonomic Nervous System ANS. The subconscious ANS retains all experience. When threatened, the subconscious ANS mind prepares us often for fight or flight. It does not analyze like the conscious mind but accepts all messages in a literal sense.

Hypnosis provides a means of communication between the CNS mind and the ANS mind. Many problems can be traced to interpretations by the subconscious ANS mind which, once understood and appropriately dealt with by the conscious mind, can greatly reduce or resolve the problems.

Emotionally responsive memory is stored in the ANS. Traumatic events may be “forgotten” consciously while being stored in the ANS. A major benefit of Medical Hypnoanalysis is the capacity to find the origin of a troublesome disorder, understand incidents, and bring hidden information into the light. Demonstrating these things that are dealt with in a psychotherapist's office do not show themselves, very well, in before and after photos.

Initial Experience

We will discuss your interests and goals to decide if we can achieve what you hope to attain. If we both feel that it will be advisable we will continue. This care plan will be acted upon in a way leading to, in most cases, the attainment of your goals.

In a comparison of therapeutic outcomes conducted by a Health Maintenance Organization, with cognitive-behavioral therapists, my practice of medical hypnoanalysis, (a short-term, directed, dynamic therapy) achieved 33% greater satisfaction for those who reported “somewhat better” and 42% greater satisfaction for those who reported “much better.”

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) is the” Federal Government's lead agency for scientific research on the diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of conventional medicine.” The NCCIH website has many articles about hypnosis.

Owing to preceding life experiences a word is connected in the brain, replacing all of those experiences and can, therefore, evoke all the actions and reactions of the organism which these original experiences produced.
~Ivan Pavlov, Nobel Prize Winner

In general, I believe that no condition is out of bounds for trying Hypnoanalysis on.
~Andrew Weil, MD, has devoted the past 30 years to developing, teaching, and educating others on the principles of integrative medicine.
