What is Clinical Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy was approved by the American Medical Association in 1958, and it is the use of hypnosis and the hypnotic trance in a psycho-educational, medical or therapeutic setting. Hypnosis is a method of communication that induces a hypnotic trance. Hypnosis can be conducted by one individual communicating with another, or it may be conducted by the self communicating with the subconscious; in that case is called self-hypnosis.
What is Hypnotic Trance
The hypnotic trance is a natural state that occurs to all of us spontaneously throughout the day. In that state the mind is very focused and relatively free of distractions. The attention is directed either internally to our thoughts, internal dialogue or images or externally on a movie, driving a car or reading a book. Those are just some examples. Also some forms of meditation and daydreaming may be examples of the hypnotic trance. Hypnotic trance methods include instructions for relaxation and concentration and are facilitated through hypnotic language patterns which include guided visualization; stories; access to memories; repetition and positive and affirming statements.
What happens during a Clinical Hypnotherapy Session?
During a Clinical Hypnotherapy session the client is comfortable and in a deep state of relaxation, and the hypnotic trance is utilized as an aid for feeling, visualizing and obtaining specific mutually agreed-upon therapeutic outcomes. The therapist creates positive suggestions with the client, designed to help the client to experience feelings, images, and self-talk that will produce changes in his or her behavior and emotions.
