Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis.

The word "hypnosis" (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is an abbreviation of James Braid's (1841) term "neuro-hypnotism", meaning "sleep of the nervous system".

A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably hyper-suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis. For example, Clark L. Hull, probably the first major empirical researcher in the field, wrote,

If a subject after submitting to the hypnotic procedure shows no genuine increase in susceptibility to any suggestions whatever, there seems no point in calling him hypnotised...

Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject's behavior, emotional content, and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions including dysfunctional habits, anxiety, stress-related illness, pain management, and personal development.

A. you would have to find a therapist who takes ALLKIDS. Then find a hypnotherapist out of that group. Otherwise you may have to pay and hope to find somebody ona sliding fee scale.

Q. After hearing a story from someone who went to hypnotherapy, I'm interested in hearing more good or bad stories or insights.

A. I have had great experiences with hypnotherapy. If you have a problem that you need to resolve, make sure you go to a hypnotherapist that will regress you to the cause not one that will merely places suggestions. Suggestions without regressing to the cause will work at first but since the underlying problem is still there, the suggestions eventually wear off. Note: in hypnosis, you are not asleep or in a trance and you can never be made to do or say anything that is against your will. As a matter of fact, you are very alert (It is your conscious or thinking mind that is asked to "step aside" - this is very hard for some people who are constant thinkers and sometimes these people will not be hypnotized). The other thing to realize… [cont.]
