I Couldn’t Concentrate On Anything You Said! – Will It Still Work?
In this article I’ll explain why it’s completely okay if you can’t concentrate on much of what your therapist says during your hypnosis session.
If you find this happens to you, this is a very good thing because it means you were in a deep state of trance.
You can be in a light or deep state of trance and either way, your subconscious mind will be open and receptive to the suggestions it receives, but deeper levels of trance are especially pleasant and restorative.
The Deepest Level of Trance
The deepest level of trance is called ‘Delta’. Delta is the last stage before sleep, and when a person is in this stage they might feel as though they actually ARE asleep – but they’re not.
I once had a client who was deeply hypnotized within two minutes of me starting to talk – every time.
And yet during each and every one of his sessions, I was able to get feedback from him that indicated he (or rather his subconscious) was absorbing every word I was saying.
Each time he came out of trance he could never recall what had gone on during the session. But the results spoke for themselves and he was a satisfied customer who went on to refer many of his friends to me.
So, what I’m saying is that you can still concentrate even in the deepest state of trance – only it is not your conscious mind that is paying attention, it is your subconscious – and that’s the whole point of the exercise!
