Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis - An Overview

As the Greek word for “sleep,” Hypnotherapy is a practice that places patients into deep relaxation and in an altered state of consciousness. In the 1700s, Franz Mesmer hypothesized that illnesses had a direct correlation with imbalanced magnetic fluids in the body. He developed a cure for ailments using magnets and hypnotic movements. (The term mesmerized is a tribute to his name.) It would not be until 1958, however, that the National Institutes of Health would recognize Hypnotherapy as a treatment for chronic pain and stress-relief.

The fundamental belief of Hypnotherapist is that a person can erase negative emotional reactions to create healthier ones. The practice helps patients change the negative physical and physiological feelings or behavior to provide healing and stress-relief.
