Slightly receptive to hypnosis. You are predominantly analytical in your approach to life and underuse some very effective personal mental resources (your creativity and emotions). Only when you have surrendered your constant search for an answer to your questions, do you begin to use these resources. Keeping control is very important to you. It takes a lot of courage to accept help since you believe that by accepting help, you may lose control of how you like to problem-solve. Being spontaneous is avoided because again, it can seem like an opportunity to lose control and be judged. You struggle to let go and relax; you may wait until you are exhausted before you can relax. You can benefit from hypnotherapy, but certain barriers would need to be broken down through the course of your treatment. Trust and respect for your hypnotherapist are important requisites before you are ready to “open up” and be guided through a process of change. Ironically, Hypnotherapy would add more control to your life and help you resolve the issue for which you seek treatment. Can you accept that hypnosis is merely ‘a state of heightened receptivity to suggestion’ and not mind-control? Once you have accepted this, you can then benefit from using these positive techniques.
