What Happens When a Person Goes Under Hypnosis?

Hypnosis means that the hypnotist provides hints to the subject to awaken some of his special experiences and specific behaviors. Many psychologists believe that hypnosis is similar to other general states, including relaxation, concentration and association. In a state of hypnosis, a person may experience "some changes in perception, thinking, memory, and behavior", including temporary paralysis, hallucinations, and forgetting "to respond to the cues of a hypnotherapist." ^[1]

Social perception or role-playing perspective

According to this view, hypnosis is not mysterious or strange, its role only reflects a special relationship between the hypnotist and the person being hypnotized. Generally, people who have been hypnotized already know about hypnosis and know what happens after hypnosis. In hypnosis, they just play a special social role-the person being hypnotized. This role means that he will be unconditionally commanded by the hypnotist. Because of the requirements of the character, after the hypnotized person enters the state of hypnosis, they tend to obey the instructions of the hypnotist, and make specific behaviors or produce specific feelings. ^[4]

Hypnosis seems to be as old as human development. The history of hypnosis can be roughly divided into three stages.

Hypnosis is now widely used in psychotherapy, medicine, crime detection and sports. In terms of psychotherapy, hypnosis has been used to treat alcohol abuse, sleepwalking, suicidal tendency, overeating, smoking and so on. But unless the patient's motivation is strong, hypnosis generally does not have a noticeable effect immediately. If combined with other psychological treatments, the effect of hypnosis will be better. ^[4]

The hypnosis treatment room requires a relatively quiet environment, the interior layout is simple, and the light is soft. Choose a sofa or treatment bed, let the subjects take a comfortable sitting (lying) position, and start hypnosis. ^[5]
