As the conscious mind can typically handle only 7-9 single bits of information, everything above that amount is automatically handled by the CCF. This is why when you talk to someone and they don't hear you, it is because their conscious mind is already at its limits - so the CCF deletes the extra information, or passes what is needed directly to the subconscious mind (and unfortunately, the conscious mind misses the conversation all together).

With Hypnosis, a person is led into this Altered State of awareness by overloading and bypassing the CCF and allowing the conscious mind to "let go". A person in Hypnosis will still hear what is said to them as it offers the conscious mind a manner in which to be of use to the overall system. Of course, by bypassing the CCF, Hypnotherapists can get to the cause of problems in life (such as depression, over-eating, anxiety etc) and have the person reprogram their internal computer to operate in a more productive manner.

If you think of a car with a problem in the engine area, Hypnosis is the ability to pop the bonnet and access the area that is causing the issue. Talking therapies such as Psychology, Counseling and the like rely on the conscious mind to divulge information relating to the problem in the hope the client and therapist can work on the area. Unfortunately (and this is where conventional talk therapies fail most often), the conscious mind has no idea where the problem exists, let alone how to repair it.

As it is the subconscious that handles and manages everything behind the scenes, one needs to access the subconscious mind to effect any great deal of change work. If the subconscious mind manages all your beliefs, all your habits, all your patterns and ways of operating, going to the conscious mind and arguing your case certainly wont let you change much, except the way the client feels about the therapist.

I personally have worked with clients that have spent over a decade on traditional talk therapies and feel they are no different. And why should they be? If you want to fix a problem with your cars engine, you don't start by taking your car to a carwash?
