Can Self-Hypnosis Help Tourette Patients Control Tics? – Yahoo! News

TUESDAY, July 13 (HealthDay News) — Children and young adults
with Tourette syndrome can gain control over their involuntary tics
through self-hypnosis, a small new study suggests.

But a specialist in the condition said the research is too preliminary
to indicate whether the strategy actually works.

In the study, reported in the July/August issue of the Journal of
Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics, researchers used a video to
teach 33 people aged 6 to 19 how to relax through self-hypnosis. The
participants all had the tics caused by Tourette syndrome.

“Once the patient is in his or her highly focused 'special place,' work
is then done on controlling the tic. We ask the patient to imagine the
feeling right before that tic occurs and to put up a stop sign in front of
it, or to imagine a tic switch that can be turned on and off like a light
switch,” study co-author Dr. Jeffrey Lazarus, formerly of the Case Western
Reserve University School of Medicine and now in private practice, said in
a news release from the journal's publisher.

Of the participants, 26 (79 percent) experienced what the researchers
called a dramatic increase in their ability to control their tics after
two to four sessions.

In an interview, Tourette specialist and University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee psychology professor Douglas W. Woods said other
factors besides the hypnosis training could explain the improvement in the
patients. In many cases, tics go away on their own, he said.

Other strategies besides the “wait and see” approach include
medications and therapy designed to teach patients how to control their
tics, Woods said. He co-authored a recent study that showed the value of
that technique, known as comprehensive behavioral intervention for
tics.

“Maybe hypnosis could be shown to be effective in treating tics down
the road, but I don't think this study does that,” Woods stated.

Is hypnosis the answer to losing weight quickly and safely? Well look into my eyes as I delve into the deepest, darkest recesses of the mind to find out.

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, usually achieved with the help of a hypnotherapist. When you’re under hypnosis, your attention is highly focused and you’re more responsive to suggestions, including behaviour changes that hypnotherapists say can help you lose weight.

Many advertisers on the Internet want you to believe that because hypnosis is “natural”, it cannot harm you and is therefore a superior method of weight loss.

Firstly, it cannot be claimed that hypnosis is one of the most natural ways to lose weight, because it’s obviously not natural to be in a state of induced hypnosis. But, having said that, it could be a safe method. The real question is does it work?

One reason for weight gain is quite often psychological. Basically, it’s all in the mind. So one way to effectively reach your weight loss goal is to reach deep down into your subconscious mind and change the way you think about food.

Imagine if you could lose weight by just relaxing and listening to a pleasant and friendly subliminal message. A message that could be implanted deep into your subconscious. A powerful message that affects your attitude to eating and exercise, without you even realising.

Hypnosis is a unique experience, but you are always in control. Hypnotherapy is rather like being in a daydream, it is a state called “trance”. It might be a deep trance or it might only be a light trance.

With hypnosis there’s no right or wrong way to experience it, there’s just different ways for different people. In general a hypnotic trance is a very pleasant, relaxing and tranquil xperience. While hypnotised you will be aware of all physical sensations around you, perhaps even noticing sounds you wouldn’t otherwise be aware of.

When you are fully conscious again you may be able to recall everything that happened while you were in your trance-like state, depending how deep your trance was.

Hypnosis can help by allowing you to overcome unconscious obstacles, which prevent you from losing weight and from keeping weight off. You know that eating too much is not what you desire and you know that exercise and sensible diet are important.

However, these are not conscious, logical issues. Successful weight loss is all about re-educating your unconscious mind and forming new healthy habits.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy work on a subconscious level to help you achieve a state of mind where you can actually lose weight willingly. Until you are genuinely willing to make these changes, your weight loss goals will seem very difficult to achieve.

So, on the surface it would appear that hypnosis as a weight loss aid has something going for it. After all, hypnosis works for smokers who are trying to give up the fags, doesn’t it? Well, the truth is hypnosis is slow to produce any long-lasting results and will not work for everyone.

Studies have shown that one reason why it doesn’t work is because it requires weekly consultations with a qualified hypnotist for at least 8 weeks or more in addition to any self-hypnosis or listening to some recorded message. So, In order to achieve any benefits from its use, hypnosis must be practiced on a regular basis for a significant period of time.

And, as we all want to see results almost instantly, this method is very likely to fail because we just don’t have the patience to continue. Then there’s the cost to consider. Hypnotherapy sessions do not come cheap.

Unfortunately, the only people who claim hypnosis is easy, simple, and effective are those trying to sell you their programme. So, in conclusion, hypnosis is just another method that seems to be making money for those who practice it.

Listening to hypnosis CDs and losing weight sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie. A lot of people ask me what I think about losing weight by listening to weight loss hypnosis CDs or mp3s. My answer is always the same: they could work wonders in your life and transform your body. All while you lay in your bed in a state of deep relaxation. It will work… under the right circumstances.

These circumstances are dependent on the relationship between “the client” and the hypnotist. This is because a huge component of hypnosis or NLP or therapy of any kind for that matter is the establishment of rapport. Rapport is a term people use to describe a sense of connection to another person. The father of modern hypnosis, Dr. Milton Erickson, used to say “anything is possible in the presence of a good Rapport”.

While rapport is much easier to establish through a face to face meeting, it is possible to create the phenomenon of rapport through pre-recorded weight loss hypnosis mp3s. If the hypnotist in these sessions has led enough face-to-face weight reduction sessions, he will have a great feel for how the general population responds to his guided sessions and therefore will be able to skillfully establish rapport through the use of his voice.

In conclusion, weight loss hypnosis mp3s can be effective with a large part of the population. Somewhere around 70% of the population will connect with the audio and establish some sort of rapport with the hypnotist guiding the session and therefore see results. For the price and accessibility of weight reduction hypnosis mp3s, they are worth trying out if you are serious about losing weight.
