How Effective is Hypnosis

By Saline Walsh | July 9, 2022 |

Hypnosis is a trance-like state in which a person becomes more focused and has heightened suggestibility. It involves focused attention on the part of the subject and heightened responsiveness to the hypnotist’s suggestions. There are many different types of Hypnosis that are dependent on the practitioner, including their experience in the field. Many people are skeptical about its possibilities because of misconceptions about what it is and how it works. It’s often conflated with sleep or viewed as an occult activity. Still, in reality, Hypnosis is a method of relaxation that is used to harness the mind’s ability to change the body’s response.

Why Hypnosis is done

The benefits of Hypnosis are vast. Hypnosis is used to help with many conditions, including but not limited to:

stop smoking
lose weight
deal with anxiety or depression
Help to relieve the symptoms of hot flashes connected with menopause
Helping with insomnia or getting better quality sleep by learning how to relax the mind and body.
Hypnosis helps people deal with stress, anxiety, fear, grief, anger, sadness issues.
It helps reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of cancer-related pain, as well as the anxiety associated with dealing with a life-threatening illness.
Decrease the side effects associated with medical procedures.

In addition to medical conditions, it can help people focus on personal development, such as building self-esteem and improving communication skills.

Is Hypnosis actually effective?

Many forms of evidence show that Hypnosis is an effective treatment for medical and psychological conditions. Two studies have shown that people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with hypnosis therapy had significant improvement in the symptom severity, quality of life, anxiety, and depression compared to people who did not receive treatment or received standard pharmacological treatment. Another study showed that individuals who underwent traditional hypnosis treatments experienced a more significant decrease in pain intensity and an increase in quality of life than those who received standard supportive therapy.

In addition, there have been studies on uncontrolled clinical settings showing that patients undergoing gastric bypass were hypnotized before surgery and reported experiencing less pain than control groups after the surgery. The effectiveness of Hypnosis on surgery has also been studied in randomized research trials, with positive outcomes found for patients who are treated before surgery for procedures such as cardiac surgery, gastroscopy, orthopedic surgeries, dental surgery, cataract surgeries, and cholecystectomies.

Hypnosis reduces the anxiety and pain associated with medical procedures and is an effective adjunct therapy for surgical patients.

In addition, it can help control chronic migraines by reducing the intensity of the pain, experience of nausea, and sensitivity to light.

Hypnosis is also helpful in treating menstrual cramps for women with a history of chronic pain during their periods.

Studies on smoking cessation have shown that Hypnosis has similar success rates as other more traditional methods such as nicotine replacement therapy and behavior modification.

Many more positive results have been found from research in hypnosis therapy. However, many of the studies have shown that further research in this area is necessary to better understand how effective and influential Hypnosis can be when dealing with different types of ailments.

What is the success rate of Hypnosis?

According to Kimberly Friedmutter, world-renowned hypnotist and Author of Subconscious Power: Use Your Inner Mind to Create the Life You’ve Always Wanted, “Reportedly, hypnosis has a 93 percent success rate in fewer sessions than both behavioral and psychotherapy according to study trials.”

In 1970, Alfred A. Barrios conducted hypnosis research and found a 93% success rate in only 6 sessions, compared to a 72% success rate with behavioral therapy after 22 sessions on average.

The success rate of Hypnosis is mainly dependent on the person and what their goals are. There tend to be many more positive results than negative ones. However, every case is different with regards to treatment based on what condition they are trying to treat or improve upon with Hypnosis.

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!
