Central Concepts of Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a treatment style in which a therapist helps to increase the client’s focus and concentration to induce a trance-like state. A person cannot be hypnotized against their will; the treatment will require the person’s cooperation. During a period of hypnosis, the person will experience a powerful sense of calm and relaxation. The trance-like state is important to attain, because in this state the person is more open and receptive to suggestion, which helps create the desired change.
