Facts & Misconceptions, cont'd

"Help! Help! I'm "stuck" in hypnosis and can't come back." Don't worry, you can't get "stuck" in hypnosis. You may enjoy the peace and serenity so much that you just want to stay in the trance state for a while. Many people, when listening to their hypnosis cd's at night, simply fall asleep. They then awaken when it is time to be awake.

Scientists are just begining to realize the benefits of hypnosis. Hypnosis has been with us and used since the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians. It was recognized as a powerful tool for anesthesia, healing and self-improvement since the mid 1800's. James Esdaile, M.D.(1808-1859), a Scottish surgeon in India, performed major operations using as he called it "magnetic sleep" as the sole anesthetic (not that I recommend this use today). But self-hypnosis, when properly learned, is a technique used in preparation for surgery, for promoting healing and for reducing risk, as described by Stanley Fisher, Ph.D, in his wonderful book, Discovering The Power of Self-Hypnosis (Newmarket Press: NY). In fact, the American Medical Association sanctioned the use of hypnosis in 1958.


While in hypnosis, people always tell the truth. A person who has reason to lie may create lies while in hypnosis. They may fill-in gaps in their memories with false material which supports their own self-interest.
