Hypnotherapy is the treatment of disease
by hypnotism, or psychotherapy that facilitates suggestion, reeducation, or analysis
by hypnosis. Hypnosis involves a state of focused relaxation, when the subconscious
mind is open to suggestions. It is a form of treatment, usually for relieving
pain or conditions related to one's state of mind. Practitioners believe that
when a client enters, or believes he has entered, a state of trance, the patient
is more receptive to suggestion and other therapy. The most common use of hypnotherapy
is to remedy maladies like obesity, smoking, pain, ego, anxiety, stress, amnesia,
phobias, and performance but many others can also be treated by hypnosis.
