Hypnotherapy

During hypnosis the patient enters a relaxed state, in which respiration, heart and metabolic rates slow down and the conscious mind is bypassed, leaving the unconscious or sub-conscious mind open to suggestion.

The use of trance states to facilitate healing dates back to ancient times. Modern hypnotherapy developed from Austrian physician Anton Mesmer's work in the 1800s, and work by psychologists and neurobiologists in the 1900s.

Hypnotherapists usually encourage light or medium-trance states, in which the patient remains fully aware of everything that's going on.

Two main types of hypnosis are used today. The most common is induction hypnosis, whereby the practitioner talks the patient into a deeply relaxed state and implants mental healing suggestions.
