PostHeaderIcon Proof That Hypnosis Reaches The Brain

Whenever AR sees a face, her thoughts are bathed in colour and each identity triggers its own rich hue that shines across her mind's eye. This experience is a type of synaesthesia which, for about one in every 100 people, automatically blends the senses. Some people taste words, others see sounds, but AR experiences colour with every face she sees. But on this occasion, perhaps for the first time in her life, a face is just a face. No colours, no rich hues, no internal lights.

If the experience is novel for AR, it is equally new to science because no one had suspected that synaesthesia could be reversed. Despite the originality of the discovery, the technique responsible for the switch is neither the hi-tech of brain stimulation nor the cutting-edge of neurosurgery, but the long-standing practice of hypnosis.

I am convinced that regular hypnotherapy sessions - both live sessions and recordings of guided sessions found online, have dramatically improved my mental health situation. I have suffered from depression for most of my life, I have had drugs, natural remedies, acupuncture, CBT, you name it. In the last few months, hypnosis combined with a CBT style approach, has helped me through some very difficult times and I have noticed I am smiling - for no reason other than I am feeling better in myself. I have more energy, despite a health problem - even after no sleep and very busy periods. I cannot explain why I feel better, other than hypnosis has helped me to relax very deeply and I think this has given my mind and body space to heal. I will definitely continue with it.

That is really great to hear John - which hypnosis CDs did it for you? I know some people in the Mental Health services section in the Rockingham General Hospital in Perth, Australia who heavily incorporate a selection of Rick Collingwood's Hypnosis CDs for their patients, including depression, with great success too. Refreshing to hear alternatives working rather then issuing sedative medication only. Although there are warnings to not use hypnosis without your doctors permission if you suffer from a significant mental health issue (not inc. depression but). Depression becomes rooted in the deep trenches of the subconscious mind - same place where hypnosis gets down into to replace and provide logical alternatives that stick - so it makes sense really why it worked for you. All the best mate.
