Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
The state of mind commonly known as hypnosis is familiar to everybody. It is best described as concentration directed inwards. It is the sate you are in just before you fall asleep, when you are still aware of the surroundings but is to relaxed to care. Also in our everyday life this sensation is known.
In fact we drift in and out of hypnosis so often we are not aware of it. This happens if you are in a meeting, but become unaware for a while, because your thoughts drift away from the speaker and on to other things, such as what you would like to this weekend or the new car you are planing to buy.
Hypnosis is nothing more (or less) than the dreamlike state of consciousness that occurs whenever you let your thought run freely and let the surrounding reality fade into the distant. The reason we are not aware of when we are in this trance like state it is because it demands a degree unawareness. So if you do not like the term trance you can think of it as a sort of attentive inattention. You are just as conscious as you are driving on the freeway at high speed while planing your next vacation. Should anything unpleasant or out of order take place, as if there suddenly appeared as dog in the middle of the road, you attention will immediately focus back to reality.
A hypnotist is trained to evoke and work with this condition in other people. In principle everybody* is capable of being hypnotized, as long as they do it willingly and have enough concentration to follow a simple suggestion. It can be compared with taking at journey of thought with GPS navigation. The hypnotist can only point you in a direction, he can not make you go there.
The same applies to destination you want to reach. If the hypnotist goes off route the conscious mind will object. The stories of people being hypnotized to commit crimes or other acts against their beliefs are simply myth (or it is at least as easy to persuade people while conscious and really deals with an entirely different aspect of psychology).
Many know hypnoses from the more humorous acts known as stage hypnosis. Under a show like this you use the increased ability to accept suggestions caused by a hypnotic trance to alter the participants perception of what is around them. It is parallel to asking a person, deeply focused on reading a book, if you may use his cell phone. The person picks up the phone beside him and hand it to you without looking away from the book. When you tap him on the shoulder to hand it back to him, he ask where you got it from. Most people have experienced similar things i their life and when you think about it, we are capable of doing extremely complex actions without being conscious about them.
In hypnotherapy you work directly with the subconscious and unconscious mind to influence thought feelings and behavior. A hypnotheripist does not label people with a diagnosis but only look a the problems as they are experienced by the client. Under hypnoses you use the high suggestibility to work with a range of different tools for changing behavior. Tools adapted from other types of therapy or techniques developed specifically for analysis and therapy under hypnosis. This makes hypnotherapy very effective in producing long term results. Most minor disorders can be removed with 1-3 sessions and nearly everybody will feel changes instantly. But hypnosis is build on trust and its important to establish a good relationship hypnotist and client in between to ensure the suggestions sticks. Is this connection made and are the suggestions given at the right level of trance, the results will be remarkable.
*hypnoses is generally not recommend for people who suffer from psychosis, that have an IQ below 70 or children under 6-7 (according to maturity).

Hypnotherapy and Doctors
