Hypnosis has also helped high school and college students who had difficulty with ADHD and problems with focus and concentration.
Self-Hypnosis: People can learn how to study in a light level of hypnosis, where they can read and recall more accurately. Self-hypnosis allows one to quickly relax so the brain is at optimal function. A person who opens their eyes while in hypnosis does not come out of trance, but the brain will switch from conscious to subconscious function where they are still aware yet relaxed and focused at the same time. Clearing the mind and relieving external distractions is most helpful and easily taught with self-hypnosis. Some of our hypnotherapists have taught the “Hyper-Focus” process to students as young as nine years old. When working with youngsters, we also teach the parents self-hypnosis so that they are “part of the team” and can encourage the students when studying or doing homework. One college student reported that during a test in a particularly difficult class, the only questions she missed were regarding material covered on a day that she was absent. She said that all other questions were answered correctly and easily.
Stress Affects Recall: Most of us have had the experience of meeting someone socially and, within minutes, have totally forgotten their name. Later, when you try to recall it, it is gone, but after that, the name magically pops into your head. You see, if you had really forgotten the name, it would be gone forever. It is your conscious mind that forgets; your subconscious never forgets anything.
Relaxation is an important element in studying and test-taking. When a person is anxious or nervous, blood vessels tend to contract or shrink in size, thereby reducing the blood flow to the brain as well as the rest of the body.
When a person is relaxed, vessels dilate, allowing more blood and oxygen to flow to the brain. More oxygen = better brain function.
Self-hypnosis allows one to quickly relax so the brain is at optimal function. A person who opens their eyes while in hypnosis does not come out of trance, but the brain will switch from conscious to subconscious function where you are still aware yet relaxed and focused at the same time.
Some of our hypnotherapists have advanced training in Super Learning and Test Anxiety. They are skilled in processes that enhance study and memory recall, as well as information regarding music, recording, and learning techniques. In cases of severe anxiety, more advanced processes are employed.
