Of course, to get powerful, lasting and fairly rapid results in therapy, it is imperative that the methods employed reach and affect the subconscious mind. This is because the subconscious houses the emotions, imagination, memory, habits, intuition, and is the pathway to the superconscious.

In fact, hypnosis has been approved as a valid medical method since 1958 by the American Medical Association, and currently it is being actively investigated by the National Institutes of Health; and indeed practiced at the Mayo Clinic and at various medical schools from Stanford to Harvard, and is an effective adjunct to conventional medicine even for illnesses up to and including diseases such as cancer. So, you see hypnosis does have it's merits.

Of course everyone is not capable of going into a trance-like state in order to become hypnotized. Research indicates that about 5% of people are not responsive. However, studies also show that with practice people can learn to become responsive.

This 5% will resist the temptation to be put in a trance. If you are not able to relax and are unable to accept auto-suggestion you are not a candidate for hypnosis. However, in most cases if one were able to relax this could be a perfect alternative to over-the-counter drug therapy.

Hypnosis definitely won't make people do what they don't want to do. It can't turn people into robotic automatons. But it does make them very receptive to suggestions. A hypnotic trance is no more than a form of deep relaxation, allowing people to block out distractions and to focus their minds on the important subject at hand.

If you're interested in giving hypnosis a try, it is recommended by experts that you find a therapist or doctor certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, to ensure that practitioners are appropriately trained. Or it is advisable to talk to your doctor first if you plan to use the therapy for medical purposes, like controlling pain or anxiety. And remember that hypnosis isn't a cure-all procedure. People with acute pain who use hypnosis, for example, typically still need medication, just less of it.
