Does Hypnosis Therapy Really Work?

By Chase Crawford


You may probably have heard of people turning to hypnosis therapy to help alleviate some of the pains, discomforts, and other medical problems they might be feeling. The big question is this: does it really work? While the results vary, there are however, enough good results to warrant at least a claim to its effectiveness.

Now what is therapy through hypnosis? It is a series of hypnosis sessions wherein the therapist or the hypnotist puts the patient into a guided relaxation that is also focused concentration which is called trance. It is at this condition that the therapist can now make certain changes or modifications, usually based on suggestions, to the patient's emotions, mood, and behaviour. If the problem is medical like pain, stress, anxiety and other related conditions, the therapist can help lessen these to a point where its effects are no longer as dangerous to the patient.

Because this kind of treatment covers a wide variety of medical conditions that hypnotherapists claim can be treated, this short article is not enough to cover it all. It is, however, sufficient to say therapists and doctors often make use of this treatment for suggestion therapy and analytic purposes.

Analysis is when the therapist uses hypnosis to dig deep into the mind of the patient, in the process he is trying to find the main cause of whatever medical problem that he is trying to treat. When he is finally done with the analysis, he can then prescribe the best treatment for the patient. In many cases, a few sessions of hypnosis Melbourne would bring out the root cause of certain medical conditions.

The second one, called suggestion therapy, takes advantage of the hypnotic stage wherein a patient who is under trance or hypnosis is more susceptible to accepting suggestions made to him. This way the hypnotist can help treat the patient with regards to such problems as nail biting, smoking, pain management, and even phobias.

After discussing what hypnosis therapy is, let us now tackle the different benefits of using this method.

Treatment for depression. Psychotherapists have been using hypnosis to treat people who are suffering from major bouts of depression. And aside from that, it is also used to find out if a patient is really suffering from this medical condition. Because the main problem usually lies with the inability of the patient to acknowledge that he is depressed and in dire need of help.

Treatment of phobias. Everyone of us have our own fears. There is probably no person who has no fear whatsoever. The problem starts the phobia seriously affects the normal life of a person. Such intense and uncontrollable fears needed to be treated immediately.

Treatment of stress. More and more people are feeling stressed every single day. In fact, many doctors claim that stress is now among the major killers. Because when you are stressed then your body is affected as well. You have higher blood pressure. You eat the wrong kinds of food. You do not exercise. That is why treatment for your stress should be done as soon as possible.

The ones listed here are just some of the things you need to know about hypnosis therapy. If you have any nagging medical problems that you think this treatment can help you with, find a psychologist Melbourne nearest you.
