You don’t want just anyone messing with your brainwaves! Make sure you find someone who is state licensed in clinical hypnotherapy by looking up providers through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis and the National Board for Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists.

You CAN Try This at Home!

You’ve probably already hypnotized yourself before without even realizing it! Have you ever set the alarm to wake at a specific time and found yourself waking up a minute or two before the alarm rings? That’s self-hypnosis. You may not have realized it, but you were probably concentrating on the time you needed to get up in the morning as you were going to sleep the night before. As we drift into sleep, we are in a suggestible, relaxed state — awake, but disassociated. If you’ve never had this happen to you before, try it tonight! If you need to wake up at, say, 6 a.m. tomorrow, think about it as you are drifting off to sleep. Self-hypnosis apps, downloads, programs, and CDs are abundant online, and there are even free tutorials on YouTube that you can easily access on a smartphone, computer or another electronic device.
