Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. During hypnosis, a person may be more open to suggestions, which can help in addressing various issues such as stress, anxiety, and certain habits. It is commonly used in therapeutic settings, known as hypnotherapy, to assist individuals in making positive changes in their lives. The process typically involves a trained professional guiding the individual into a relaxed state through verbal cues and imagery. While in this state, the person may experience altered perceptions and increased responsiveness to suggestions, but they remain aware of their surroundings and in control of their actions.
