From Greek, the concept of «hypnosis» is translated as sleep, although this is not the same thing. The words are not synonyms. Visually, two people in these different states will look the same. But their essence is completely different. Schizophrenics change emotions even under hypnosis, and ordinary people can see or remember something only at the time of the procedure. Let’s see how they differ and what is their essence and why schizophrenics see everything «in their own way.»
Hypnotic sleep and its characteristics
If during sleep a person simply rests, and no one rummages through his brain, then with hypnosis everything is exactly the opposite. To immerse the patient in a deep sleep, the specialist uses special phrases. They create a special effect. The man, without noticing it, falls asleep. It is more like deep meditation, when the consciousness is disconnected from the outside world and the person simply withdraws into himself. To understand what hypnosis is, it is worth studying its differences from ordinary sleep and these are:
- Ordinary sleep comes by itself when a person is tired or needs to restart all processes in the body. Hypnotic sleep, on the other hand, does not come by itself. To enter it, you need a special «key». They become the words of the hypnotist. It helps to influence the consciousness of people, relieve them of various clamps, fears, depression, let go of bad memories and anger.
- Noise in the house, a sharply turned on light, a push in the back can pull a person out of a normal night’s rest. But a patient who has entered deep hypnosis can only be returned by a specialist who “lulled” him.
- Everything that will be said by the hypnotist, the client will feel in reality. For example, the smell of tangerine or the taste of whiskey in your mouth.
Sleep and hypnosis have something similar. At the heart of each of the processes lies the same part of the brain — the sentinel center.
Reasons to see a hypnotist
There are situations when neither medication, nor traditional medicine, nor physiotherapy, nor healers help a schizophrenic. This is usually associated with the psyche and emotional experiences. For example, how to get rid of terrible memories that poison life and do not allow you to sleep well at night? In this case, you can contact a specialist who practices hypnosis. The indications for it are as follows:
- obsessive fears;
- addiction to drugs and alcohol;
- gambling addiction;
- rapid development of the disease (schizophrenia).
Protracted depression is also an indication for a healing session, and in schizophrenics this manifests itself quickly.
Contraindications for hypnosis
Not every person can fall into artificial sleep. This applies to schizophrenic women who are carrying a child and nursing mothers. Also under the ban are patients with problems of the central nervous system, the same schizophrenics, with bleeding, exacerbations of bronchial asthma, hypertension, psychosis, cerebrovascular accident, fractures and injuries, heart attacks.
It is advisable to get a detailed consultation from an expert before treatment and undergo a medical examination in order to understand whether or not a potential patient has contraindications for undergoing a course of hypnotic therapy.
