Find out the Truth about Clinical Hypnosis
Clinical hypnotherapy is a form of Psychotherapy that uses Hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. Hypnosis, in this context, is a state of highly focused attention or concentration, often associated with relaxation. The "clinical" part indicates that this form of therapy is used to help manage or treat a variety of health conditions or unwanted behaviors.
During a clinical hypnotherapy session, the therapist guides the patient into a relaxed, focused state and helps them think about experiences and situations in different ways. This may involve suggesting ideas or concepts to help the patient make changes or regain control in certain areas of their life.
Clinical hypnotherapy can be used as part of a treatment plan for many conditions, including:
- Pain management
- Sleep disorders
- Anxiety and stress
- Mood disorders like depression
- Behavioral problems: Issues such as smoking, overeating, weight loss or phobias can be addressed with clinical hypnotherapy.
Clinical hypnotherapy is not a magic cure and it requires the Client's willingness and cooperation.
