Pam maintains a common sense, evidence based approach, in common with the vast majority of both clinical hypnotherapists in practice, and those researching the subject. Research and analysis shows that hypnosis is not an "altered state'" of mind or a special brain state, but is a state of relaxation where the mind is far more than usually able to focus attention on particular ideas and suggestions. Contrary to what some hypnotherapists state on their websites and during clinical sessions, there is absolutely no evidence that hypnosis works by speaking to the left side of the brain, or that to be hypnotised is to be put in a trance, where you have no control or understanding of what is happening to you. These beliefs stem from beliefs held hundreds of years ago, and are unfortunately given support by entertainers who perform hypnosis on stage and who are responsible for the views of hypnosis held by the majority of people. Some people are therefore fearful of hypnosis, worrying that they will not be in control of their actions and may be made to do something against their will, or that they will be in a sleep-like state and will not remember what has happened to them. However, being in hypnosis is a perfectly natural and safe activity, where you remain completely in control. You can stop hypnosis at any time. You absolutely cannot be made to do anything that you would not ordinarily wish to do.
