This little tidbit was in our Sunday paper today. My brother had it cut out and marked "Poodle".
Column entitled: Ask Marilyn by Marilyn vos Savant
Given the power of hypnosis, why isn't it used more as a weight-loss tool? -- Pam Stewart, Turlock, Calif.
Two main reasons: 1) people do not want to or cannot be hypnotized, and 2) most studies of hypnosis and weight-loss have found only modest, temporary results.
Yet hypnosis is a real phenomenon with many useful applications, such as managing chronic pain and dealing with the common fear of dental procedures or other phobias.
If you want to try it, seek out a licensed hypnotherapist. Ask your physician for a recommendation. But don't expect a one-session boost for your willpower. To get results you need to spend time and money.
Misstatement #1 Answer: Anyone can be hypnotized by a competent hypnotist.
Misstatement #2 Answer: Chronic pain? Any pain all the way to hypnosis for anesthesia
Misstatement #3 Answer: Phobias? NLP is much faster and we can future pace our work immediately.
Misstatement 4 Answer: A licensed hypnotherapist? The words do not equate well. One may be a fantastic psychologist, psychiatrist, etc. and still be a miserable hypnotherapist as hypnotherapy is not the main tool used.
It is only my humble opinion that dear Marilyn change her name to idiot savant as hopefully she will know a whole lot about something that is not related to hypnosis.
Bandler has rewritten this information (Trance-formation) and has shouted it from the mountain tops but apparently people are not listening. Yes, brother dear, these are my comments to this little article. Love you always, Sissie (Pood) :)
