What form of therapy does John Francis Leader practice?
John
Francis Leader is a certified and accredited
psychotherapist who specialises in the use of
hypnotic techniques to enable people to take
control of their own lives resulting in greater
productivity and the opportunity to eliminate a
wide variety of complaints.
What is Hypnosis?
Unlike
the television or Hollywood version, hypnosis is
simply a state of deep relaxation. In this state
the critical factor is set aside and the desired
change is instantaneous.
Can
anyone be hypnotised?
Yes.
In fact, most people experience hypnosis several
times a day. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis.
Also, the state experienced directly on entering
and leaving sleep is hypnosis.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Because hypnosis is an altered state of
consciousness, or awareness, at no time will you
be asleep or unaware of what is going on. You
will, however, be likely to feel more relaxed than
ever before. A feeling of peace, serenity and
wellbeing generally accompany this relaxation.
Can
I be made to do something against my will?
Absolutely not! There is a safeguard in hypnosis.
Anything suggested to you in hypnosis that is
against your morals, beliefs, religion, ethics,
wants or desires will simply be rejected by you.
It is impossible for you to be made to to do
anything against your will.
What about those stage shows then?
Successful stage hypnosis relies on willing
volunteers. Those people have a desire to join in
the show and perform. Hypnosis merely helps them
to overcome inhibitions that they may, ordinarily,
have against performing in public.
Will I remember what is said or done, after I come
out of hypnosis?
Hypnosis is not an unconscious state, so you will
remember what is being said and done. If you have
no apparent memory of what is said or done, this
is likely to be because you were drifting and
daydreaming in your own pleasant thoughts during
that part. Generally, with gentle prodding, you
will fully remember everything.
Am
I giving up control during Hypnosis?
No!
You will be in such complete control during the
entire session that if anything is said or done
that you disagree with, or that you feel is in bad
taste, you can simply open your eyes and leave the
room. No one can control your mind, except you.
Can
only 'weak-minded' people be hypnotised?
On the
contrary, while everybody can be hypnotised, those
that respond better are people with strong and
active minds capable of imagination and mental
dexterity. Those that refuse to be hypnotised,
generally are exhibiting either a lack of
understanding of the subject entirely, or
'weakness' in the form of inflexibility.
Does Hypnosis wear off?
Yes &
No. The state of hypnosis being a relaxed 'Day
Dream' state leaves you when either you or the
therapist ends the session, but the results of
your hypnotic session are self-rewarding and
therefore the effects
will become stronger.
Are
there harmful after-effects?
Again,
no. There is not one case on record of anyone
being harmed because of, or through, hypnosis.
After the session, most people feel relaxed and
mellow but in complete control of all of their
faculties and able to perform any task or duty
such as driving or working. Most people experience
a very pleasant energy increase after the session.
Why
is Hypnosis sometimes linked to witchcraft and
fortune telling?
Television and Hollywood are mostly responsible
for this. There is nothing magical, mystical or
mysterious about hypnosis, and we actively
disassociate ourselves from those that would have
you believe otherwise.
