What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that uses hypnosis, where a person's consciousness changes. Whereas, hypnosis is stimulation to the underworld when a person becomes easily directed, and loses the power to react. With this hypnosis, one is able to change long-term habits.

What are the factors that influence the success of hypnotherapy?

In order for a therapy to work optimally, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

1. Endogenous factors

Endogenous factors are factors that come from within a person, for example about the characteristics that he has. When going to do hypnotherapy, make sure you have strong reasons to change. For example, you are someone who is shy, so you cannot speak in public. You know that slowly this will hamper your other potential. Therefore, the reason you change is to want to develop more. You must be willing to accept such changes, slowly starting to foster confidence by starting a conversation first. So, the main key for successful hypnotherapy is a drive from within.

2. Exogenous factors

Exogenous factors are factors that originate from outside, or the surrounding environment. Hypnotherapy can be successful because of environmental factors too. If you are a shy person, but your job requires you to interact with many people, then the possibility of these changes is fast happening. You may also have heard someone use the reason, "The environment that forces me to change." Well, this exogenous factor is also important.

How is the hypnotherapy process?

There are several steps that can be done when doing hypnotherapy, here are the steps:

1. Stage pre-talk

At this stage, the therapist takes the stage of extracting information. The therapist will find out exactly what causes you to have bad habits, depression, or trauma. Before doing hypnotherapy you can also do it yourself, so this will motivate you to consistently want to change.

The most important thing when doing this information is honesty from yourself. Maybe at this stage, you feel embarrassed or uncomfortable to express what happened in the past. But if you still have resistance, hypnotherapy is less likely to succeed. Extracting information must be done properly, because the therapist needs to get what is disease and distress from a problem.Disease is a condition that causes you trauma, whereas distress is a condition that occurs after trauma.

2. SWOT Analysis

Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats that's the extension of SWOT. Before you get to the hypnosis stage, you need to recognize yourself. You can do things like this yourself. Try to reflect on what are your strengths and weaknesses, these two factors will make you even more sure to change. Then identify the opportunities that you might get, and of course obstacles from within yourself. These obstacles can be in the form of easily giving up when you fail, or not focusing on the goal.

3. Preduction stage

At this stage, suggestions will begin to be designed, and prepared to influence your subconscious. If you want to succeed, you must be sure. When you doubt a little, the risk of failure will be even greater. Many people wonder about the method used, or feel worried during therapy, so that therapy does not work.

4. Induction stage

At this stage of induction, the patient will be taken from the wave alpha (the brain is in a conscious state) to the wave theta (Brain waves are in the frequency of 3hz-8hz, the condition is half asleep). In this condition the patient is made half drowsy, relaxed, but still in a conscious state. Suggestions will be easily included in this condition. This stage of induction is also a determinant, hypnotherapy works or not. When someone is not in a state theta, his mind is still thinking, so suggestions are also difficult to enter.

5. Hypnosis stage

At this stage a suggestion has been put on someone. The condition of your body will become light, half-sleepy, but not fully asleep. Usually the therapist will enter suggestions one by one, not too much, so that the suggestion can work well. What needs to be considered at this stage is not to fall asleep, because suggestions are difficult to enter.

6. Stage posthypnotic suggestion

Suggestions will continue after hypnosis is complete. The purpose of this stage is so that the patient's behavior really forms as expected. An example of a suggestion that is included can be, "From now on, when you reflect, you will feel amazingly amazing."

"When you see the wall paint of your room, you will feel excited and happy."

7. Stage termination

At this stage, the process of hypnotherapy is ended. You will be brought back to consciousness. Of course, indirectly woke up just like that. There are words that will bring you back up.
