Hypnosis is a trance state that is characterized by narrowed attention and a severely limited response to stimuli. It is used in therapy as a method of working with the subconscious. It has been used to treat m.in. anxiety, addictions, eating disorders and emotional disorders.<\/p>\n\n
The hypnotic state is not always triggered by another person, as it can occur spontaneously<\/strong>. Sometimes a person thinks about something so deeply that he is not able to repeat what other people said to him at the time. A similar situation can occur when driving a car on a known route. A tired driver acts as if on autopilot, which creates a risk of an accident.<\/p>\n\n The beginnings of hypnotherapy date back to antiquity, while interest in it increased in the twentieth century. Americans Dave Elman and Milton Erickson played an important role in its development.<\/p>\n\n During hypnotherapy, the therapist puts the patient into a trance state, using m.in for this purpose. direct suggestions, visualization and relaxation techniques. Contrary to popular myth , a person who is in hypnosis does not lose control over their actions<\/strong> and can stop the process at any time. A hypnotherapist has no way of getting a person to act against their own beliefs.<\/p>\n\n<\/a>What does a hypnosis session look like?<\/h2>\n\n
