4 Common Things People Use Hypnotherapy to Treat
You've probably heard of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. You may think that these terms are synonymous with mind control, which is not surprising considering how hypnosis has been portrayed in movies. Hypnosis is used in hypnotherapy, which is a method to help treat particular symptoms or medical issues. In the course of treating phobias and other anxiety disorders, it is occasionally employed.
Typically, hypnosis includes recommendations for calming down, feeling relaxed, and being generally well-adjusted. These ideas may only persist for the duration of the session, but the patient may choose to activate them again at a later time. Here are some conditions that stress hypnotherapists treat.
Insomnia and Sleepwalking
Hypnosis can help people with insomnia fall asleep faster by allowing them to relax. It also helps people having trouble with sleepwalking by teaching them to wake up as their feet reach the ground, which will help you stop the incident from happening again.
Stress and Anxiety
Stress hypnotherapists help with stress management by using a method of regression that returns the patient to the period in time when the stress became an issue. Stress hypnotherapists also ease anxiety using relaxation and suggestive techniques that help calm a patient's breathing and reduce blood pressure.
Weight Loss
Many more people are turning to hypnotherapy to treat weight loss. According to the Professional Hypnotherapists of Australia, a study of 60 women who were at least 20% overweight and had not received any other therapy revealed that hypnosis is a successful method for shedding pounds.
Unwanted Habits
When added to the normal treatment method, hypnotherapy has proven remarkably successful in helping patients quit smoking and other unwanted habits. Stress hypnotherapists guide patients toward an effective replacement action to enable them to quit their unwanted habits.
Apart from the issues mentioned above, you might be surprised to learn that hypnosis is also useful for other problems such as depression, emotional trauma, sexual dysfunction, self-esteem, and confidence. Though no one can foretell the future, all the data points to this therapy method continuing to be fully non-invasive and devoid of adverse effects for many years. It'll help people live a better and more rewarding life. To learn more, contact Alan L Smith PhD CI today!
