In the field of psychology, hypnosis can be used as a therapeutic method known as hypnotherapy. Clinically, this therapy is used to eliminate the habits that are not desirable, such as overeating, smoking, excessive anxiety, even psychological disorders.
Psychiatrists also recommend hypnotherapy to control phobias and panic attacks.
Deep hypnosis is also useful to relieve chronic pain due to arthritis, fibromyalgia and even cancer. In a study funded by NIH's Office of Alternative Medicine, the researchers taught individual hypnosis technique to patients who experience chronic back pain. By regularly practicing hypnotic techniques, these patients were able to reduce the sensation of pain by 80%. In addition, patients also reported experiencing significantly decreased stress and sleep better.
Research published in medical journal also presents evidence of the effectiveness of hypnosis in dealing with acute illness and crisis situations. Doctors in the emergency room to apply the induction technique to help patients who crash more relaxed. The nurses in the intensive care unit also use hypnosis to stabilize the heartbeat and patient's respiratory system.
The use of hypnotic techniques can also accelerate the recovery of burns and reduce the occurrence of infection and scarring. Researchers from Harvard found that hypnosis can also accelerate the recovery of fractures.
Several other medical conditions such as allergies, asthma, red spots on skin, migraines, digestive problems, and high blood pressure also showed a repair response after undergoing hypnotherapy. In addition, the dentists also use hypnotherapy to calm the nerves of patients, reduce pain, and reduce bleeding during oral surgery. Obstetricians also use methods to control pain during childbirth.
In practice, the therapist will bring the subject into a trance. In this condition, the therapist can give advice or speak directly with the subconscious mind of the subject. Basically, semi-conscious condition allows therapy to bypass the conscious subject.
The therapy can bring the subject into a state of semi-conscious in a way that is easy. There are various techniques that can be done. Some of them such as asking the subject to see and concentrate on one spot on the wall or therapist can also swing the pendulum back and forth in front of the subject's face as he asked the subjects to follow the movement of the pendulum with eyes. Furthermore, the therapist would say monotonous sentences such as "You grew relaxed", "You could feel the tension is pulled from your body", and others.
Once the subject is in trance, the therapy will say the suggestions with the same monotonous voice. Advice should be pronounced carefully to get maximum results. After completion of therapy sessions, the therapist will bring the subject back to consciousness by saying words like "the more you aware of the circumstances" and "open your eyes when you are ready". Subjects will then wake up back to consciousness.
To change habits, it is usually not enough with only one therapy session. The impact will not be directly visible, but behavioral changes will begin within a matter of days or weeks. This Hypnotherapy will facilitate the patient to lose weight or quit smoking. In addition, this therapy can also be useful in handling psychology cases.
In the semi-conscious condition, the therapist can talk with the subject and help out all the events that the subject poses problems in the life of the subject. In the semi-conscious condition, the subjects could spend all your mind and heart that cannot be expressed in conscious state. The events of the past can cause symptoms such as nightmares or phobias. A psychotherapist, who is understanding of these issues better, could help the recovery of the subject.
