About NCSCH The North Carolina Society of Clinical Hypnosis is a community of dedicated healthcare and mental healthcare providers committed to the competent, effective and ethical use of clinical hypnosis. NCSCH has long been recognized as the premier organization for training in clinical hypnosis, for the quality of our education and training, as well as for the high caliber of professionals who comprise the membership of the organization. However, we also enjoy high membership retention because of our openness, friendliness, and support for the novice as well as the highly skilled and experienced clinician. We welcome new participants and hope you will consider exploring membership, even as we celebrate the many enduring friendships and collegial relationships that have developed over the past 50 years. Providing superior training with national and internationally respected speakers and talented clinicians from NC as well, NCSCH is a volunteer-run grassroots organization founded in 1970 by Nicholas Stratas, M.D. and Vladimir B. Bensen, MD, as a component society of the American Society for Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH), created by Milton Erickson, Kaye Thompson, and others. Meet the Board NCSCH is led by a volunteer group of professionals who give generously of their time and energy. Our Beginnings During the latter part of 1969, two early members of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, Nicholas E. Stratas, MD, Raleigh psychiatrist , and Vladimir B. Bensen, MD, a Raleigh family practitioner met in Dr. Bensen’s house to discuss organizing a North Carolina component of ASCH. Both had experienced the use and importance of the integration of hypnosis into the practice of primary care medicine, psychiatry and psychotherapy for simple symptom removal and/or substitution, behavioral change, treatment of medical/psychiatric problems and personal growth and self-management. Further discussions and interactions with ASCH led to an enthusiastic meeting February, 1970 in Raleigh of the then 15 North Carolina members of ASCH. Personal experiences with the use of hypnosis were shared as well as information about the experience of the founding of the Virginia component in 1958 where Milton H. Erickson, founder and President of ASCH and Editor of the Journal of ASCH had been present. It was decided to go forward to formalize plans for the 32nd component section of ASCH – The North Carolina Society of Clinical Hypnosis. With the approval and authorization of the national executive committee of ASCH, a Charter Meeting was held in Boone, NC in May, 1970. Dr. Bensen was nominated President. Short anecdotal presentations were made and plans for educational meetings were discussed. The purposes of the Society were to bring together professional people who share investigative, scientific and clinical interests in hypnosis in order to provide programs to further, in every ethical way, knowledge and understanding of hypnosis; stimulate research and scientific publication; promote hypnosis as an important tool of ethical medicine; and cooperate with other professional societies that share mutual goals, ethics and interests. Frequently Asked Questions What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is a natural state of selective, focused attention, and, even though it is 100% natural and normal, it remains one of the most fascinating phenomena of the human mind. Our ability to enter this unique state of consciousness opens the door to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration and change. Hypnosis, called by different names in different cultures and times, has been recognized for thousands of years and used for many purposes. When we enter into the absorbed state of hypnosis, we can use our thoughts, talents and experiences in ways not usually available to us. With the help of a trained professional, we can develop innate, individual abilities that enable making desired changes in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors possible. For reasons that are as yet not clear, the focused state of hypnosis allows changes to intentionally be made “automatically,” changes that we could not ordinarily consciously make. Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. However, it may not be useful for all psychological problems or for all patients or clients. The decision to use hypnosis as a component of treatment can only be made in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider who has been trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis. In addition to its use in clinical settings, hypnosis is used in research with the goal of learning more about the nature of hypnosis itself, as well as its impact on sensation, perception, learning, memory, and physiology. Researchers also study the value of hypnosis in the treatment of physical and psychological problems. It's not like what you see in the movies. How can treatment aimed at your mind affect your body? The body responds physically to thoughts. For example, when we think a frightening thought, we can experience increased heart rate, shortness of breath, “butterflies” in the stomach, muscular rigidity, sweating, shaking, and so on. Similarly, when we think a pleasurable thought, we can experience reduced heart rate, deeper breathing, relaxation of muscles, and so on. These are autonomic nervous system responses that are involuntary, but they can be utilized to promote health. When hypnotized, an individual is very open to suggestions that can enhance positive and diminish negative physical reactions. Can anyone be hypnotized? Some people find it easier to relax than others. By the same token, some people are able to go into trance more quickly and more deeply than others. About 85% of people can go into at least a light trance. For most therapeutic goals, light trance is enough to enable almost everyone to benefit from hypnotherapy to some extent. In a relatively small number of situations, (say, when hypnosis is being used instead of a general anesthetic, e.g., as in labor and childbirth), a deeper level of trance may be needed. For these purposes, it is helpful to determine the trance capability of a given person, before making a decision about the advisability of using hypnosis as an anesthetic. Even for those people (maybe 10-15%) who do not enter into even a light trance state, hypnosis may still be helpful to assist their relaxation and improve their suggestibility to constructive comments and suggestions. Can children be hypnotized? Because children are naturally imaginative, they naturally and easily engage in hypnosis and respond well to hypnotic suggestion for a wide variety of problems, e.g., self- esteem issues, anxiety, behavior problems, habit change, and certain medical issues. It is important that your child’s therapist be competent and experienced in dealing with your child’s particular issue or problem. Will I be asleep or unconscious? The word hypnosis comes from the ancient Greek word ‘hypnos’ meaning sleep, but it is mis-named. Hypnosis is NOT sleep. Sleep and hypnosis may seem similar since we may be relaxed and have our eyes closed (although not necessarily), but there are many differences. One main difference is that we tend to be in a relaxed state, but with heightened awareness! If a person were to fall asleep during a session, they would return to normal consciousness when asked to, or simply awaken after a short nap. They would feel refreshed, relaxed and would have no ill effects at all. “I don’t think I was hypnotized – I heard every word you said!” Some people, after a session of hypnosis, don’t believe that they were hypnotized at all. This likely comes from misconceptions about just what a ‘trance’ really is. There are differences between the brain waves of people who are asleep and those who are in trance. In practice, people who are hypnotized often talk with the hypnotist, and can both answer and ask questions, hear everything that is said very clearly, and are perfectly well aware. There is no mysterious feeling to being hypnotized and our minds are not taken over nor controlled. This expectation and perhaps a demand to have some mysterious experience beyond conscious control or awareness seems to leave some people disappointed and even denying they had any experience at all. These same people may actually have received substantial results and unconscious change. Will I lose control of myself? No, there is no loss of control. Hypnosis allows clients to be more focused and less distractible and more skillful in using their own mental abilities constructively. In this way, they can achieve more of their goals, and consequently, actually achieve more (not less) control of their personal comfort, health, and well-being. The ‘control’ misconception appears to originate from stage hypnosis which actually involves people doing what they want to be doing in a social agreement to be entertaining. Can I get stuck or trapped in the hypnotic state? No. At any time a client can re-alert or choose to ignore suggestions. No one stays hypnotized indefinitely – you will always “come out” of trance within a short time. Will hypnosis make me remember things accurately? No. Hypnosis can improve our recall of events that we believe happened to us. But hypnosis is not a way to find out the truth (whatever that may be) about events that are in dispute. That is, under hypnosis you may re-experience events, but there is no guarantee that you are remembering them correctly. Hypnosis only assists the subject in recalling perceptions, not truths. Courts recognize this, and sometimes take the position that being hypnotized influences your ability to later testify in court on those matters. You should get legal advice before attempting to use hypnosis to improve your recall of events when there are, or might be, court matters involved. Selecting A Qualified Professional: An Advisory Word to Consumers It is important to keep in mind that hypnosis is like any other therapeutic too: it is of major benefit to some people with some problems, and it is helpful with many other people. However, ASCH and NCSCH recommend that when you are selecting a professional to assist you with a particular symptom or goal, you choose a healthcare provider who is properly trained, licensed and credentialed. This means that the individual has graduate training and holds a currently valid license in a healthcare field, such as medicine, dentistry, psychiatry, psychology, social work, counseling, or nursing. In North Carolina, anyone can claim to be a “hypnotherapist.” There are no competency requirements and no accountability. Your plumber who has read a book on hypnosis can claim to be a “hypnotherapist.” For this reason, we highly recommend that you inquire about the training of any practitioner of hypnosis you intend to consult. Ask about their professional affiliations and background, and be sure you choose a provider who is properly trained, licensed and credentialed.
