In the past, it was seen as a magical practice. The distress that it triggers has no reason. Applied by a skilled person, able to hypnotize correctly, it can help cure many diseases. Hypnosis is not synonymous with sleep. Most often, the hypnotized person does not lose contact with the extern environment. It is true that he or she does not react to what is happening around them, but it happens because he or she is focused exclusively on the therapist.

Hypnosis is deep relaxation, during which the therapist may transmit suggestions, therefore hypnotize somebody, easier than usual. The hypnotic state opens a window to the unconscious mind and releases hidden memories. The hypnotherapist (the specialist able to hypnotize as a therapy) has access to information and manages to make the patient download the problems that stresses him or her.

In addition, the therapist can hypnotize the patient not to feel pain in the case of injections, not to be afraid of dentist etc. To bring the patient to a deep relaxation state, the therapist resorts, in most of the cases, to the technique of verbal suggestion, which he or she combines with a technique of sight fixing. Concretely, while sending in words the suggestion to relax physically, mentally and emotionally, he or she asks the patient to choose a point with his  or her eyes, a shiny object, or to close his or her eyes and to focus on breathing.

Hypnotists who are specialists in the field of hypnosis are always willing to understand hidden meanings. They attend the Faculty of Psychology, attending in parallel courses of hypnotism and suggestion. They study mystics, occultism, and unconventional therapies. The true nature of hypnosis – says Vincent Harry – is not sleeping, but the increased sensitivity of a person to be given suggestions. Regarding how to hypnotize, there are as many ways as hypnotists are, each of them building their own method of inducing trance.

Hypnosis-therapy is an extension of hypnosis applications to a therapeutic direction. We must understand that it is not magic, you do not just close your eyes, and when you open them again, you are healed and happy. No, things succeed in stages, gradually, but the results are often incredible.

Moreover, hypnosis helps patients better withstand pain and adopt a positive attitude towards the disease, which will allow them to lead a normal life, within the constraints imposed by it.

Unlike hypnosis as entertainment, where the aim is to impress, where the hypnotizer has the opportunity to select subjects with increased sensitivity to hypnotics; in the cabinet, you work with one person, regardless his or her degree of sensitivity.

Therefore, many therapists prefer to use for trance induction lighter techniques, which not only affect a large number of people, but they are well tolerated. Another big advantage is that, whatever the nature of traumas is, in awakening the subject is feeling very well and takes it as a pleasant experience. A session of hypnosis takes 45-50 minutes. At first, the hypnotist is talking to the client and explains what hypnosis is, what is expected during the session, what to do and especially what not to do.
