A study in Australia of 37 women found that they measured significantly higher on the Creative Imagination Scale (CSI) when they were pregnant than when they were not pregnant. This study gives encouragement to women wondering whether they are receptive enough to hypnosis to benefit from the HypnoBirthing program. Apparently pregnancy gives women the added advantage of being more receptive to hypnosis! The results of the study also may serve as a reminder that pregnant women are vulnerable to 'waking' hypnosis which may come in the form of birth stories. If you are pregnant, it is important that you only encourage positive birth stories into your life. |
