Are Hypnosis Results Permanent?

By Saline Walsh | February 17, 2023 |

Hypnosis has grown in popularity as a complementary therapy over the years. Using techniques such as visualization, suggestion, and relaxation hypnosis can help people improve their mental and physical well-being. For example, hypnosis can be used to treat conditions such as stress, anxiety, and depression by helping the person to change their thought processes or behaviors. While the results of hypnosis are often immediate, there is some debate about whether or not
the effects of this therapy are permanent.

Research on the effectiveness of hypnosis

Research has suggested that hypnosis can effectively treat several mental and physical health issues. Hypnosis has been proven to bring incredible results, from managing stress and anxiety, to alleviating depression, diminishing pain levels, and increasing self-confidence.

A study result published in the journal of Psychological Science has revealed that hypnosis can alter the activity of our brains and enhance cognitive performances. The study found that people who underwent hypnosis had increased theta activity in their brains, suggesting that they were more relaxed and focused.

In 1970, Alfred A. Barrios, PhD, published a study comparing recovery rates for various therapy modalities, also featured in the American Health magazine. He discovered that Hypnotherapy was the most effective therapy option in terms of recovery rate, with 93% after an average of six sessions. Behavior Therapy came in a close second at 72% and required 22 sessions on average for treatment. Psychoanalysis had the least success rate among these three therapies, clocking in at 38% but requiring 600 or more sessions to achieve results.

According to an article published in the Harvard University Gazette, Hypnosis Helps Healing, Carol Ginandes and Daniel Rosenthal, professors of radiology at the Harvard Medical School, published a report on their study of hypnosis to accelerate the healing of fractured bones. The result of the study showed that people who were hypnotized healed faster than those who were not.

Though there is evidence to suggest that hypnosis can be an effective form of therapy, the duration of its results may vary from person to person. Some people experience long-term effects, while others only receive short-term results.

In addition, the type of Hypnotherapy used can influence the length of time the results are felt. For example, if a person receives hypnosis for stress relief, the effects may only last for a short period. However, if they are receiving hypnosis to help them quit smoking, they may experience the benefits of the therapy for months, years, or even their lifetime.

If a person is receiving hypnosis for weight loss, the results may also vary depending on their commitment to healthy eating and exercise habits. While hypnosis can help reduce cravings, it is still important to make lifestyle changes to maintain weight loss results.

Hypnosis can be an incredibly effective tool for athletes striving to attain both short and long-term success in sports. For example, hypnosis can help a person focus their attention and improve concentration before a game. In addition, hypnosis can also help athletes reduce anxiety and increase their confidence levels over a longer period.

Factors that affect hypnosis results

While some people may experience long-term results from hypnosis, others may not. Some factors that can influence the duration of hypnosis results include:

• The person’s willingness to be hypnotized
• The skills and experience of the hypnotist
• How committed they are to following the suggestions made during hypnosis
• Their ability to relax and focus
• How much practice do they put into self-hypnosis
• The type of Hypnotherapy used
• The person’s level of self-awareness
• Their ability to visualize
• The depth of the hypnotic state they can achieve.
• The nature of the problem being treated

Conclusion

Whether or not the results of hypnosis are permanent is still a subject of debate. It is clear, however, different people will have varying experiences with hypnosis, and many factors can influence the success of a given therapy session. As such, it is important to find an experienced and qualified hypnotherapist who can help you achieve the results you are looking for.

After noticing significant positive changes in a close friend of mine that resulted from work with tc, i decided to visit houston to avail myself of tc’s services. Not only are the sessions completely affordable, i was pleasantly surprised by the results achieved as a result of the services tc rendered to me over the course of multiple sessions , over a period of months. I will return soon for another session and likely will remain a lifetime customer of this very generous man.

I’ve been seeing TC since 2014 and am so grateful for his help. Great listener and a very knowledgeable professional.

I've had a very positive experience with TC over the course of 5+ sessions (and to be continued). There is something very special about TC and the way he carries himself. TC is the type of person that you come across once in a lifetime. I believe he has a deep sense of how to effectively guide you to inner peace and understand how you tick. If you are struggling with anything in life, curious about what hypnosis is, or just want to learn more about you don't know, I highly recommend seeing him.

I went to TC to help with a bad habit. After speaking with him, he went right to the root of the problem. Stress! Stress was destroying my body physically. Immediately after the first session, I felt lighter and happy. I am 2 months from my first visit. I have lost 13 pounds without dieting. As far as my bad habit, it's no longer a bad habit. I can't thank him enough for all that he has done. I went for 2 sessions. One might have been enough but two reinforced the behavior.

I was a bit skeptical at first but now I'm a true believer. I used to experience 3-5 migraines a week. It was debilitating. I was on the road to taking very strong medicines on a daily basis, so I thought I'd see if hypnosis could help. It did. I have not had a migraine in over a year!

TC LeNormand helped me understand and remove fear, doubt, and other negative traits caused from childhood trauma. Every session gave me strength to work on my trauma to heal. He is patient, understanding, and guided me with compassion. A genuine person. I felt safe and learned so much. Highly recommend for anyone needing hypnotherapy.

I went to visit Hypnosis Houston about a month ago for my initial visit. Candidly, I went in dealing with an addictive behavior that I wanted to discontinue, and I was completely exasperated, having tried medications, traditional talk therapy, reading books and more. When I spoke with TC, the first thing that struck me is he is incredibly insightful and articulate. We had a conversation about my goals and about the process and what to expect, and then we did some exercises, and finally, he “hypnotized” me. I put it in quotes because it was hypnosis in the traditional sense, being put in a deep relaxed state and listening to spoken suggestions, but it’s not hokey like it is depicted on TV. After our 90 minute appointment he told me to give him a call in a week if I wanted to discuss or have another session. I did not call him, instead I went on about life and gradually things began to change. I did not notice it or attribute to the hypnosis at first, but after looking back and thinking about it, there was a marked change after my hypnosis in my own thought patterns, which in turn has changed my behavior. For example, I have been dissatisfied with my career for many years and have been told by just about everyone that I should go into business for myself, which I have always brushed off because of my aversion to risk and fear of failure. After the hypnosis, suddenly my mind is not hampered with as many of the negative messages that I used to tell myself. Instead this persistent thought keeps appearing that I control my destiny, that I can manifest anything that I desire. This thought has broken my old patterns of behavior and so many amazing things are happening in my life. I fully believe that the suggestions presented to me in my session have transformed my mind and life, because I was willing and open to the suggestion. My advice is give it a try. You have only a relatively small amount of money to lose and your whole life to gain. Try it!

I am a 27 year old that needs a transplant, but in order for me to be approved, I have to quit smoking. Which I have smoked 1-2 packs a day for closer to 15 years now. I have tried just about everything and turned to hypnosis as a last resort..and as a huge skeptic. Fast forward to first phone call: He immediately asked what my motivation was because he made it clear if I felt pressured by anyone or anything else, he couldn't help me. He's not doing this for only financial gain but the act of helping his patients. Fast forward to first meeting: session took 2 hours. He spent time asking about what I envisioned my future to be like and not all the reasons why I smoked. It seems like he's just talking like a therapist but you'll find out the entire time you are in his presence, he's working on you. I felt comfortable, and light. It's not magic, it's just a fascinating practice. AFTER HYPNOSIS CONCLUSION: for the first time in 10 years I got in my truck and didn't need to smoke. I could barely say or think the words "cigarette" or "smoke". As if it didn't exist in my vocabulary anymore. I felt like there's something I should be doing, but couldn't place it. For the first time in over a decade, I haven't had a cigarette in days, and don't feel the desire too. He trained me to think the future is more important that harmful things so I don't process the harmful thing anymore. I don't know why or how exactly it worked but I am thankful it did. I can now get on my transplant list! All because of who would've thought... Hypnosis. About the doctor: I felt comfortable, he obviously can profile people instantly so don't lie to him or the ineffectual treatment is on yourself. He is very friendly and cares about helping and connecting. I feel like HE was what set me up for success. 100/100 recommend and plan on seeing him again for sugar cravings since the first results were unbelievable!
