Actually, What is Hypnosis?
“Sleep!” a hypnotist ordered Dino. In a sudden, Dino fell asleep. Then, the hypnotist asked Dino to kiss his stinky socks. Dino did it. Then, the hypnotist told Dino that his thumb was a sweet lollipop. Dino licked his thumb.
Superkids, we may watch stage hypnosis in Indonesian TV. Among the stars are Uya Kuya, Romy Rafael, Denny Darko, Ferdians YKS, and Yan Nurindra. Stage hypnosis get more and more audience in Indonesia.
Not only in Indonesian television. In the TV series “Pokémon”, Drowzee and its evolved form Hypno are known as The Hypnosis Pokémon. In the CBS TV series “The Mentalist”, the main character Patrick Jane is a former psychic and uses hypnosis on several characters. The Paramount television show “The Montel Williams Show” featured a presentation by Boris Cherniak, where hypnotized subjects reacted to a variety of comical situations, while at the same time showcasing the therapeutic effects such as quitting smoking.
Hypnosis create a highly relaxed state of inner concentration for patients. The technique can be tailored to different treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy. Patients also become more empowered by learning to hypnotize themselves at home to reduce chronic pain, improve sleep, or alleviate some symptoms of depression or anxiety.
Within science, there is no debate as to whether hypnosis exists or works. Science cannot agree on what it is and how it works. However, The British Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis states, “In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on appropriate suggestions made by the therapist.”
