The Study of Emotional Control in Hypnosis

In fact, the formation of many negative emotions is the product of a series of accumulated experiences. If we experience negative emotion, and it is not settled promptly, it will be repressed. In surface it seems not a problem, but it stills exists, it is just under consciousness. Since then, the problem would only be expanding, just like a continually gasifying balloon, it can be easily exploded if being touched.

Have you ever thought of finding a hypnotherapist to relieve your worries? Perhaps you'd better come to know how they deal with negative emotion.

Building a good communication comes first
At first, hypnotherapist will try to build up a mutually trustful relation with the client and make sure that the client voluntarily accepts hypnosis. Then, the therapist will come to realize the reason for seeking therapy and direct him / her into hypnosis state.

After that, the client's psyche will focus on the therapist, and he / she relaxes himself / herself and imagine different scenes under the instruction of therapist.
Under the state of sub-consciousness, the client will be easier to accept therapist's suggestion which helps solve psychological problem.

Recalling the first time
During the therapy of negative emotion, the hypnotherapist usually use “Time line therapy”. For example, for those who often feel the fear, when seeking hypnotherapy, the hypnotherapist will instruct him / her to recall the first-time experience of feeling the fear and come to realize how it happened and the reasons for causing the fear. These experiences possibly date back to the childhood; since he / she was too young to cope with, such fear still exist at present. When grew up, one become more mature, the hypnotherapist will encourage him to look at the event back at a new angle thereby eliminating the fear. When sub-consciousness receives the new message, it will affect one's attitude and thought, correcting the old belief.

Self-hypnosis stress-relieving method
To enter the hypnosis state, self-relaxation and focus of attention are very important and the hypnotist only performs the instruction task, the key factor lies in those who accept hypnosis. The capability of entering hypnosis state is different from person to person; some may find it easy, some may find it hard.
People can normally relieve stress through the simple method of self-hypnosis. First, the light in the room should be made gentle and comfortable, the temperature should be made optimal, and one should sit down or lie down relaxingly in comfortable and natural position. You may untie your tie and shoelaces making your body even more relaxing. Under the comfortable environment, foot's muscle relaxes, in the meantime, one should do the breathing exercise. The eyeball is upward, the eyelid slowly dangles, then take the air in, read 1, 2, 3 in mind, then give out and the eyeball moves downward. The whole process takes about 15 minutes each time.

Reporter's self-experiment
During the interview, reporter tried to experience hypnosis's effect on stress relieving. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Mr. Lien Zun, first instructed the reporter to lie down, and to relax the muscle starting from the foot, buttocks, back, hands and head, and then imagine that he was strolling in a familiar park.
In the whole process, the reporter felt very comfortable and relaxing, the mood was also very calm. Although it lasted for just a few ten minutes, he relaxed a lot. If you have a chance, you may try it.
