Clinical hypnosis, also known as hypnotherapy, is a powerful and effective tool to improve people's health and well-being; It allows the patient to experience a feeling of deep relaxation, while their attention is focused inward (their internal emotions and sensations) and towards the appropriate suggestions made by the therapist, which help them make positive changes.

 

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep in which the person loses the will, control and consciousness, but is characterized by inducing the patient to a condition called trance, in which he is in reality in an improved state of consciousness, which allows access to the person's own resources.

 

Trance is used as an emotional disinhibitor, and suggestion is used to bring about changes in the patient's cognitive, physiological, emotional, and behavioral processes. The patient can end the process at any time, since they are always in control of the session and nothing is accessed that the person's mind does not allow. The therapist's role is simply that of facilitating the experience.
