What is "dehypnosis"?

John McGrail, C.Ht. (Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist) gives expert video advice on: Is it true that my hypnotherapist has control of me when I am under hypnosis?; Is it true that only weak-minded people can be hypnotized?; Is it true that I can be put under hypnosis without my consent? and more...

First of all, in each and every session, we enter hypnosis and then we come out of hypnosis back to full conscious awareness which would be called dehypnotizing. Sometimes people come in that have been dealing with an issue or, I don't want to say necessarily a crisis, but something in their lives which has made them enter a hyper-suggestible state. They actually come in already in a state of hypnosis. It's important to remember that we can do anything in hypnosis that we can do in full conscious awareness. From time to time, although not very often (it's very rare), I will have clients that come in that I believe are actually already in hypnosis. Part of their treatment is to take them to a deeper level so that we can dehypnotize them and help them overcome this state of hyper-suggestibility.
