I am a firm believer of hypnosis, and more particularly self-hypnosis, as a fantastic tool to help you, I and everyone else to live a better life. This is in fact the reason, associated with the fact that self-hypnosis can be learned and applied quickly and easily by total beginners, that the first trainings I have run around hypnosis have been self-hypnosis workshops.
The benefits of self-hypnosis are numerous and diverse and include the following:
- conquer stress,
- achieve personal insight,
- build confidence ,
- get rid of addictions,
- manage pain
- and so much more…
Nevertheless, finding articles to support all the benefits of self-hypnosis, are difficult to find, mainly because self-hypnosis is either misunderstood, misperceived, or full of connotations and also because very few people are prepared to acknowledge publicly it worked for them, as they usually will have to explain the issue they resolved with it, which they tend to want to keep private.
Nevertheless, Dani Dudek, a 22-year old senior point guard at Stevens Institute of Technology, New Jersey, USA has benefited and is still benefiting so much of self-hypnosis, that she publicly acknowledged that without it, she would have never been able to live her dream of playing basketball at national level. Self-hypnosis helped her to manage the pain associated with athritis to such an extent that she was only the second woman in NCAA history to top 1,000 points, 800 rebounds and 600 assists.
As explained in this Newspaper article, she has been using self-hypnosis now for a quite a few years to help her triumph of arthritis. Good for her!! Who’s next?
