Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to treat and alleviate a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. Hypnosis allows the subject to experience often very profound levels of relaxation and thus contributes to reduce levels of stress and anxiety. It is often used in conjunction with conventional behavioural therapies like “systematic desensitisation”. Two important components of this therapy are the ability to clearly imagine something that makes you feel anxious, and then achieve a state of deep relaxation. Hypnosis helps make these two easier and faster than many other forms of treatment.
