Psychology and Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a genuine psychological phenomenon that has valid uses in clinical practice. Since hypnotherapy is an adjunct form of therapy, used along with other forms of psychological or medical treatment, there are many applications.
Clinical uses for hypnosis and hypnotherapy include treating anxiety, depression, insomnia and phobias.
Hypnotherapy can be used to treat addiction, undesirable behaviours, bad habits, and sexual dysfunctions. It can be used to help improve communication, learning and memory, and resolve relationship issues.
Alongside treatment with health professionals, hypnotherapy can aid in pain management and ameliorate medical conditions.
Hypnotherapy is guided hypnosis, or a trance-like state of focus and concentration achieved with the help of a clinical hypnotherapist.
This trance-like state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, movie, music, or even one's own thoughts or meditations.
In this state, clients can turn their attention completely inward to find and utilise the natural resources deep within themselves that can help them make changes or regain control in certain areas of their life.
