DeutschPractical information › What is Hypnosis ?
According to the French dictionary LAROUSSE, hypnosis is a particular state of consciousness between awakening and sleeping.
This "modified consciousness" we experience, naturally, several times a day spontaneously. Have you ever driven your car without remembering any more the last kilometres? Have you asked yourself « Were the lights red or green? Were there people in the street? » Have you ever sat on the sofa with your glance far away? At those moments you are "somewhere else" while being "there"!
Hypnosis is somewhat comparable to those situations. A state where the conscious is present (it is part of you), but leaving a place to your unconscious to express.
In contrary to Sigmund Freud, for whom the unconscious was a place of repulsion, Milton Erickson, an American Psychiatrist of the 20th century and one of greatest therapists of all the time, added the notion of " reservoir of our memories, capacities, potential and possibilities ". He is at the origin of a form of hypnosis that revolutionized the short therapies: the non-directive Hypnosis, the Erickson Hypnosis.
As a Practitioner of Erickson Hypnosis, I adhere to several ethical principles such as:
- Respect for the dignity and the integrity of the person
- Never damage the ecological balance of the person
- Respect and adhere strictly to confidentiality
- Never use Hypnosis for a personal advantage
- Protect the autonomy, the capacity and the right to be informed, the freedom of choice, the decision and judgement of the person
