Hypnotherapy
Numerous studies have shown that hypnotherapy is an effective tool to help to deal with both physical and mental issues.
Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a trance-like state of inner absorption, concentration, and heightened suggestibility. This state is similar to being completely absorbed in a book, film, music, or even one’s own thoughts or daydreaming. In it, a person is unusually responsive to an idea or image, but they are not under anyone’s “control.” Instead, a trained hypnotherapist can help clients in this state relax and turn their attention inward to discover and utilize resources within themselves that can help them achieve desired behavioural changes or better manage pain or other physical concerns. Eventually, a client learns how to address their states of awareness on their own and, in doing so, gain greater control of their physical and psychological responses.
