Many,
many doctors and psychologists state
that there are no dangers involved
with hypnosis-- only in being
ignorant of it.
Dr.
David Cheek, M.D., a noted authority
writes:
"We
can do more harm with ignorance of
hypnotism than we could ever do by
using hypnosis and suggestion
constructively"
Dr.
William S. Kroger, author of
"Clinical and Experimental
Hypnosis," states:
"Platonof,
an associate of Pavlov, who used
hypnosis over fifty years on over
fifty-thousand cases, reports as
follows: 'We have never observed any
harmful influences on the patient
which could be ascribed to the
method of hypno-suggestion therapy,
or a tendency toward the development
of unstable personality, weakening
of the will, or pathological urge
for hypnosis."
As
stated in "The Psychology of
Mental Health," Dr. Louie P.
Thorpe, Professor Emeritus,
University of Southern California,
writes:
"Hypnotism
is a natural phenomena, and there
are no known deleterious effects
from its use."
Leslie
N. LeCron, Psychologist, states:
"As
to self-induction, many thousands
have learned it and I have yet to
hear a report of any bad results of
its use"
Andre
M. Weitzenhoffer, Ph.D., a highly
regarded authority in the field of
mind science, writes:
"As
far as it is known today, hypnosis
per se is no more dangerous than
natural sleep. There is no evidence
that hypnosis in itself weakens the
will, damages the nervous system or
in any way adversely affects the
physical or mental well being of
individuals."
Something
to consider...
Could
it somehow be harmful if a person
did not learn how to use their mind
in an effective and powerful manner?
"As
you think, so you are."
