Applications
Hypnosis as a field and as an idea has
been around for a long time. Due to
this, various applications have begun to
emerge that help to put the process of
hypnosis to good use. In fact, the
various applications of using hypnosis
cross many fields such as
entertainment, self-improvement,
military uses, and medical uses. Other
areas that have recently begun to use
hypnotism include rehabilitation,
physical therapy, education, sports, and
forensics. Even artists have begun to
employ hypnotism in order to reach
certain creative purposes. This is
shown the most by Andre Breton, a
surrealist artist, who has employed
hypnosis among other techniques for
his own creative purposes. One of the
growing uses of hypnosis is in the field
of self-improvement; many people
have chosen to do self-hypnosis in
order to help them lose weight, reduce
stress, and quit smoking.
The following sections will discuss
some different fields where hypnosis
has been growing as well as how the
process of hypnosis is working in those
fields.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis as
a form of psychotherapy. It is used as a
method to help the patient or subject
through troubling issues that are
plaguing them, especially when other
methods of self-control are not
effective. Licensed psychologists and
physicians might perform a form of
hypnotherapy on willing patients in
order to help them treat posttraumatic
stress, compulsive gambling, sleep
disorders, eating disorders, anxiety,
and depression.
It is also possible to visit with a
certified hypnotherapist to assist you in
treating issues such as weight
management and the cessation of
smoking. If you go to a certified
hypnotherapist, it is important to
remember that they are not
psychologists or physicians so they
will just be able to assist you with
reaching the hypnotic state and not
with curing your more serious
ailments. It is best that you make sure
whoever you are working with has been
certified to provide you with these
services, whether you choose a
hypnotherapist or a physician.
The process of hypnotherapy has been
seen in many different forms in
modern history. All of them have had
varying degrees of success depending
on the issue faced and the participants.
