Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness, often referred to as a trance. In this state, individuals may be more open to suggestions, which can help them address various issues such as anxiety, stress, and certain habits like smoking or overeating. During a hypnotherapy session, a trained hypnotherapist guides the client through relaxation techniques and positive suggestions. This process aims to tap into the subconscious mind, allowing individuals to explore thoughts and feelings that may be contributing to their challenges, ultimately promoting personal growth and healing.
