i will first say that i can’t be hypnotized but i believe it’s extremely effective for improving your entire mental system.
Your psyche in the subconscious is akin to a room with mirrors inside it. You are never truly concious since every feeling is a reflection that gets filtered through past experiences. No such thing as being present.
What hypnosis does is change those mirror settings and change the mirrors your subconcious looks at.
The mirrors are dependencies or codependencies and internalizations. If you look at them you get a feeling. You can’t break them but you have to stop staring at them and break focus if you want to change how your psyche works. You can get this through positive feedback loops or momentum or sheer willpower naturally but it usually fucks up because the focus is split and has to be shifted entirely. Your entire subconscious identity has to be changed in order for you to change a few things.
One mirror has to be tilted up or down, another has to be moved into another place, and there are mirror complexes that are genetic or foundational and aren’t even in your grasp.
Hypnosis can instruct your subconcious mind or spirit which mirrors to focus on and how they are set. The hypnotist can turn fear of a situation into a relentless pursuit of a situation that rewards you.
A painful stimuli can be turned down. Pain creates resistance also known as learned helplessness. That mechanism gets broken up and shifted. Another one is for example being co-dependent on external affection. That can be turned inwards into a sort of ping-ping situation by turning down empathy and turning up aggression.
Hypnosis is rarely talked about but it sure does work better than any talk therapy where some asshole tells you what is wrong with you and how much of a victim you are and makes you feel past experiences as if they were somehow relevant to your current psychological system.
On the other hand effective abuse complicates by creating internalizations and disempowerments.
Maybe this is easier to understand for people with aphantasia because i have aphantasia and therefore i can’t reflect myself into different situations parralel or into the future. It’s a combination of both an extremely rigid personality and no personality at all. The only way to get a grasp on myself is to look at myself in the mirror and talk to myself which is very hypnotic because i’m not a judgmental person so it’s an indescribable feeling to talk to an exact copy of me. It’s like being given a second opinion by god.
