Is hypnosis more than just a cheesy stage act? For the past 3 decades, evidence has been piling up that hypnosis can be a powerful treatment for medical problems like chronic pain, hot flashes, and anxiety, and even help you lose weight.
May 16, 2023 – You might know hypnosis as cheesy stage act. But for the past 3 decades, evidence has been piling up that hypnosis – or hypnotherapy – can be a powerful treatment for medical problems like chronic pain, hot flashes, and anxiety, and even help you lose weight.
The gene helps make an enzyme that regulates dopamine metabolism in the brain – a process linked to attention. The Stanford test is not commercially available yet, but someday, health care providers could use it to screen patients for “hypnotizability” – for example, before surgery to see if hypnosis could help reduce a patient’s pain, said Cortade.You could book a formal screening to see if hypnosis would work for you. The tester may encourage you to, say, raise your arm to see how you respond to suggestion, or try to hypnotize you and ask what you remember.
If so, you’re likely to be more hypnotizable, said Gary Elkins, PhD, a professor of psychology and neuroscience at Baylor University in Waco, TX. “Some people are like, ‘I can hear you, and I didn't experience anything.’ Other people: ‘I could really imagine it.’ And then there are those who report: ‘I can actually smell the rose, the aroma. I felt like I was in the flower garden.’”
