What is Hyper-Suggestibility?

Every moment of every day, we receive little bits of information from the body, the environment, the conscious mind and subconscious mind. When something unusual happens that heightens that information to double and triple proportions, then the conscious mind is receiving more than it can handle. High anxiety may occur. This begins to lead to a "spaced out" experience for the individual because the mind is overwhelmed with information. A kind of conscious trance-like state may take place. The individual is hyper-suggestible at this point and the subconscious mind takes over and works from all its known information. It is also more open and without proper guidance, now receiving all kinds of new information, including too many negatives. Being hyper-suggestible is an uncomfortable state. If a client would arrive at the hypnotherapist's office in a hyper-suggestible state, the Hypnotherapist would take them deeper into hypnosis, suggest good, positive information, and bring them back out with full clarity, focus, and able to more easily deal logically with their conscious mind.
