Hypnosis Myths and Facts
Hypnosis is often misunderstood and remains a mystery to most. Luckily there is a growing body of research from Harvard, Ohio State, and many others that can put your fears to rest and reveal how effective it can be. While I'm not suggesting it's a quick fix, there is compelling evidence that it can be a much quicker route than talk therapy.

Hypnosis Studies
While there are plenty of examples in the scientific literature attesting to the usefulness of clinical hypnosis, a study published in the journal Gut is noteworthy. The study involved 204 people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Treatment consisted of 12 weekly sessions of hypnosis (lasting about one hour each). Fifty-eight percent of the men and 75 percent of the women reported significant symptom relief immediately after finishing treatment. More than 80 percent of those who reported initial relief were still improved up to six years later. Fewer than 10 percent of the participants tried other treatments after hypnotherapy. (Gut, November 2003).
Talk Therapy Vs. Hypnosis
Consider this study:
In a recent data analysis of over 2000 studies, Aldred A. Barrios, PhD, found that the average client success rate for hypnotherapy after just 6 sessions or less was 93% while psychoanalysis had only a 38% success rate after an average of 600 sessions!
