Why Hypnosis Works (Part 3 of 3)

The prime objective of the subconscious is to protect you, to give you what you want. It strives to keep everything the same, homeostasis. It is slow to change because if it thinks something has worked for you up to now then you should go on doing the same thing.

This is why it can be so difficult to change a longtime habit or belief. Even when you have made a conscious decision to change with the 10-12% of your brain, the 88-90% does it’s best to override that decision.

As a hypnotherapist my client works with the 10-12% and I work with the 88-90%. Between us we work with 100% of the brain and have a much greater chance of success of getting both parts of the brain moving toward to same goal.

And that's why it works!

These are statistics from a comparison study done by the American Health Magazine:
Psychoanalysis: 38% success after 600 sessions
Behavior Therapy: 72% success after 22 sessions
Hypnotherapy: 93% success after 6 sessions
