Hypnosis is a natural state that is similar to the harmless altered trance state characterized by highly focused attention, very deep relaxation. In a conscious state, it is also easy to accept suggestions, but it does not necessarily have a therapeutic effect.
Hypnotherapy is a method of psychotherapy that changes a patient's thinking, emotions, and behavior by guiding the patient into a hypnotic state. In hypnotherapy, the therapist guides the patient into a hypnotic state through verbal suggestion and imagination, and then uses hypnotic terms and techniques to change the way the patient thinks and behaves. Hypnotherapy can help patients with various problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, phobias, etc.
The basic principle of hypnotherapy is to use the characteristics of the human brain under hypnosis to accept and process information differently from the awake state, and guide patients into a relaxed and peaceful state, so that patients are more likely to accept the hints provided by the therapist. And help patients change their way of thinking and behavior, so as to achieve the purpose of treatment.
Hypnotherapy is widely used in medicine and has been proven to be effective for a number of psychological and physical problems. Hypnotherapy is more suitable for sub-healthy people, while those with severe mental disorders need to find a professional psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
