Hypnotherapy and the Benefits of Hypnotism

By Mark Allen

Hypnotism and hypnotherapy have been recognized as beneficial for hundreds of years. In the last few decades, there have been hundreds of clinical and medical studies. Millions of people now reap the benefits.

For centuries people have looked for different ways to improve themselves and alleviate suffering. Psychology, and psychiatry, psychology are devoted to trying to understand and improve the human condition.

Since the beginning of medicine, people have looked for means of "alternative" healing and self-improvement. This category includes hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

People have many different reasons for trying hypnotherapy or hypnosis. These include relief from both emotional and physical problems, as well as wanting to reach one's potential and improve one's self.

Hypnotism can can be used to overcome low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and anger, as well as physical problems like over-eating and weight loss.

Hypnosis can also help to overcome various negative habits and addictions like cigarette smoking, gambling, even drug and alcohol abuse.

Hypnosis has successfully been used in the treatment for symptoms of severe medical problems like cancer and diabetes. Surgical recovery times are reduced, and there have even been cases of patients undergoing surgery with minimal anesthesia.

Hypnotism and hypnotherapy certainly aren't a "cure-all", or even always the best alternative. However it is becoming increasingly clear that there are real, tangible, and lasting benefits to this type of therapy and self-help. - 14130
