In order to understand hypnosis better it is important to understand the workings of the unconscious mind. Our brain is divided into two hemispheres, referred to as the left and right hemispheres. In psychology, hypnotherapy and other mind therapies these hemispheres are called the conscious and the unconscious mind. Each part of the mind has specific functions. The left conscious mind contains all thoughts and actions of which you are consciously aware of. Such as analysing information, criticising events, organising your day, talking to people etc. The right unconscious mind contains all habits, beliefs, memories and events which have happened in your life, it controls all bodily functions such as blinking, breathing etc, it is the creative and imaginative part of the mind.
When you go to visit a psychologist you will primarily be using information which is available in the conscious mind or which you can consciously bring into the conscious mind from the unconscious side of the mind. Often just talking out your problems on a conscious level helps, but on occasion no matter how much therapy you attend your problem just seems to get resolved.
Very often the problem you are presenting does not exist in the conscious mind but in the unconscious mind. Habits, memories and events from the past are programmed and stored in the unconscious part of the mind so it is logical that if you want to resolve these issues you should be accessing information which is stored and programmed in the unconscious mind.
This is done with hypnosis. Hypnosis is communicating with the unconscious mind whereas psychology is communicating with the conscious mind.
While hypnotised you will talk to and actively take part in the resolution of your problem. Many people think that once hypnotised they are asleep or have no control, this is false. While hypnotised the client communicates and talks to the hypnotherapist telling him what he sees, feels, and experiences. It is with this information that the hypnotherapist is able to help the client resolve his problems.
Most problems are resolved within 4 - 6 sessions. A good hypnotherapist will teach his client how to hypnotise himself at home in order to make the sessions more powerful and the healing quicker and more effective.
