Sixty female breast cancer survivors with hot flashes were randomly assigned to receive hypnosis intervention (five weekly sessions) or no treatment.

Significant improvements in self-reported anxiety, depression, interference of hot flashes on daily activities, and sleep were observed for patients who received the hypnosis intervention in comparison to the no treatment control group.

“Hot flash scores decreased 68% from baseline to end point in the hypnosis group.”

Conclusion: Hypnosis appears to reduce perceived hot flashes in breast cancer survivors and may have additional benefits such as reduced anxiety and depression, and improved sleep.

Nichola Prichard, 45, of Sebastapol, Pontypool, said she has slimmed down from 14st 1lb to 11st 13lb since being hypnotised.

She said the treatment was a far better alternative to paying thousands to go under the knife to have a real gastric band fitted.

More body confident: Nichola has dropped three stone since being hynotised, left. She used to weigh 14st 1lb so covered up on the beach, right

She said: ‘I was so fed up with being overweight I was ready to go the whole hog and pay £6,000 for a gastric band and go through all that pain.

‘I’ve saved all that time and pain and money going to nice relaxing hypnotherapy sessions instead.’

Nichola said following hypnosis, she has transformed her eating habits. She now craves healthy food instead of sugary snacks and knows when she’s had enough.

She explained: ‘I don’t need to diet. I eat healthily, slowly and taste my food and feel full without eating so much.’

Nichola said her treatment was preferable to paying out for a real gastric band as she was fed up of being a size 18-20

Her hypnotist Simon English, 41, from Cardiff, said there’s a growing appetite for his treatment.

He said he talks clients through every aspect of real-life surgery during his five one-hour hypnotherapy sessions, costing £350. He said it’s a ‘visualisation technique’ that makes people thing they really have had the op.

He explains: ‘I say: “The nurse is here now, she is taking your blood pressure and they are wheeling you out on a trolley. Now you are going into the operating theatre. They are making incisions for the surgery.”‘

‘Then as the music fades in the background I describe them being taken into the recovery room. When it’s over they feel a little tightness, that sort of thing, as if the band has been fitted, but nothing painful.’

Think yourself slim: Hypnotist Simon English convinced Nichola she’d had surgery

As they would be in real life, patients are given dietary sheets and advise on how to change eating habits. They are also given a CD which helps reinforce the hypno-technique over following weeks.

Simon said he allows clients to imagine their own surgeon – who could be anyone from a medic who has previously carried out a successful operation to a fictional character from Harry Potter.

‘It is a question of who a person is comfortable with. You can choose anyone to be your surgeon,’ said Simon, 41, who sees 20 clients a week.

‘We had one lady who was into Harry Potter who chose Professor Snape to be her surgeon. People have different ideas about hypnotism based on what they see on TV or what they have seen some guy do down the pub. But people certainly don’t leave here clucking like chickens,’ he laughs.+6

Hypnotists use visualisation techniques to make people believe an event has happened (posed by models)

‘Basically it is about relaxation, not control. There are no swinging watches. It is not a state as such it’s a sort of relaxation.’

Nichola said it certainly worked for her. She’s dropped from a dress size 18-20 to 12-14 and can’t wait to show off her new figure this summer.

She said: ‘We are off to the Maldives to celebrate my husband’s 50th birthday in November and I’m going to be wearing that little white bikini on the beach.’

Going into a trance to heal a broken heart

Twenty-seven-year-old, Krisha Vas was recently dumped by her boyfriend, who she was dating for the last 12 years. She says, “I was devastated as we were in a relationship for more than a decade. I could not imagine my life without him, and was totally heart-broken. I had heard about hypnotherapy sessions and decided to try it out as I wanted to get over him.”Santosh Joshi, a Mumbai-based healer who also uses hypnotherapy sessions as a tool to help people, says, “When Krisha approached me for help, she was going through a very difficult phase of her life. She had to deal with the hurt and rejection. So, we started the session with a pre-induction talk/ discussion. This was done so that she could to allow herself to become hypnotised and also to dispel the misconceptions about hypnosis. I asked Krisha to relax and take deep breaths after closing her eyes. I guided her to relax her body and her mind. I used the Elman technique of hypnosis to regress her, wherein I asked her to open and close her eyes a few times and each time she closed her eyes, I asked a to relaxing 10 times more than before. Soon she was in deep hypnotic trance. Then I asked her to relive the traumatic event, thereby releasing it from her system. Finally, in a trance, I gave her auto suggestions to help her move on in life and forgive and cut the strings of the past event. I also asked her to look at the event as a positive challenge and understand that it will not adversely affect her future. I told her that she should look forward to a much happier and brighter future. She was able to release all the negative emotions that were pulling her back. After a couple of sessions, she had a totally different outlook towards life.”

How it works?

Santosh says, “The mind has two parts – the conscious mind which is about six per cent and the subconscious mind which makes up the rest – 94 per cent (approximately). The conscious mind is the waking state mind in which we choose things, take decisions, it is the active mind, through which we experience life. The subconscious mind, however, is in a dormant or sleeping state. It doesn’t participate in day-to-day life but acts as a store house of emotions, experiences, memories, etc. Emotionally challenging or traumatic experiences like a heartbreak, bad relationships, passing away of a loved one, etc, go down in our subconscious mind as a memory with the emotions we feel while during that time. These emotions, became the root cause of our reactions to certain situations, behavioural pattern, personality traits and also to our emotional issues such as depression, anger, insomnia, emotional meltdown, etc. The key to healing is to release these set of emotions, memories, experiences stored in our subconscious mind. The process is generally referred to as “reliving” is “relieving”. When we revisit a memory of our past through our subconscious mind and relive a traumatic memory as it is happening now, we are able to release the emotions, attached to that memory, which are forming the root cause of our emotional issues. There are various ways to revisiting past memories, hypnosis is one of the methods. The therapy also replaces the negative belief system with a positive belief system. This positive belief system alters the way the person looks at a negative/ traumatic memory and has the potential to change someone’s life completely.”

Why people opt for hypnosis?

Clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, Varkha Chulani, says, “The reason people consider hypnosis is because many find it hard to face their thoughts when ‘conscious’. The trance like state they are put in helps them be at ease with what they discover about themselves and their ideas. My reservation is about going into a hypnotic trance in the first place! It is NOT easily achieved at all. I am a skeptic about hypnotherapy in general. I would rather teach people to have the courage to face their unfortunate ideas about relating and make an effort to unlearn them. So broken hearts can mend very well with sensible straight talk and doesn’t need to get into a hypnotic trance to do that!”

Not for everyone

What you should consider?

People with severe mental illness should avoid opting for hypnosisHypnosis may not be appropriate in people with severe mental illness. In some cases it can also cause anxiety, dizziness, headache, drowsiness and create false memories. It’s controversial and has limited scientific evidence to support its use.
