Descending in the unconscious
Sigmund Freud published his ground-breaking work on the unconscious mind in 1915. S. Freud, C.G. Jung and Lacan were the pioneers who conceptualized and expanded upon the idea of the unconscious. They gained insights into patients’ unconscious using dream interpretation, free association, and verbal slips, also known as Freudian slips, as well as hypnosis.
The relevance of the unconscious is that it affects how we feel, think, perceive, and behave. It is the source of automatic thoughts, memory, emotional memory, insight, knowledge, inner conflict, fears and desires.
To access the unconscious, the hypnotherapist puts the client in a hypnotic trance. This is a state of deep relaxation bordering on the verge of sleep. In this state, the hypnotherapist, through special techniques, accesses the unconscious mind to improve mental health and well-being.
What is the difference between hypnosis and clinical hypnotherapy?
A hypnotist does hypnosis by “implanting” suggestions in the unconscious. The clinical hypnotherapist in contrary uses hypnosis as a tool applying special therapeutic techniques to achieve treatment success. The technics are guided imageries, parts-therapy, regressions, relearning, and discharge of negative or overpowering emotions (abreactions).
