Silver Bee Photography investigates childbirth hypnosis, its misconceptions, and what benefits it could offer anxiety-ridden mothers.

Austin, TX -- (SBWire) -- 11/11/2014 --Childbirth hypnosis has recently been receiving some attention and Silver Bee Photography gives their readers insight into what its is all about. No longer just a circus act, hypnosis has been used in therapy and medicine as an alternative to anesthesia. Benefits of childbirth hypnosis include “less anxiety and fear during childbirth, greater control of the cervix opening, the ability to detach from discomfort, and greater responsiveness to supportive suggestions and encouragement,” says Silver Bee Photography. However despite these benefits, hypnosis is still commonly viewed as a type of mind-control, or even satanic. As Silver Bee Photography explains, no one is forced into hypnotherapy. “You cannot be made to divulge information or do anything against your will while in hypnosis. A person chooses to enter into a hypnotic state, stay in and come out at will.” These misconceptions can often deter women from investigating the benefits of childbirth hypnosis.

The power of childbirth hypnosis comes from its ability to liberate mothers from fear and anxiety during childbirth, and in effect granting them a less painful experience.

“Fear in labor can cause tension, which can create pain, which in turn causes more fear and the cycle continues. Fear and anxiety can also cause spikes in adrenaline production, which can result in complications during labor. Childbirth hypnosis teaches mothers how to detect pain as pressure and experience a more relaxed comfortable labor. Instead of fear, the mother’s mind is reprogrammed to believe that the birth will be comfortable, easy, and even joyous.”

Mothers who use hypnotherapy during childbirth often report shorter labors, the necessity for fewer drugs, greater alertness, and fewer complications. However, Silver Bee Photography also encourages mothers to consult their doctor before making alterations to their birthing arrangements.

Mothers are also cautioned that, “there are many variables in labor and birth that can affect the outcome of the hypnotherapy. Silver Bee Photography says couples need to have a positive but realistic view of hypnosis for childbirth and understand that it may not be best for everyone. “Approximately 90-95% of the population can be hypnotized, says Silver Bee Photography. “Willingness, belief and motivation are factors that affect the likelihood of hypnosis working.”

For hypnosis sessions or to find out further details about childbirth hypnosis, couples can seek out a qualified hypnotherapist in their area, choose a home study course, or enroll in a hypnosis for childbirth class.
