What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that uses hypnosis, or a deep state of relaxation, to bring about psychological change. During hypnosis, the therapist will use suggestions and imagery to help the patient focus and relax.
The effects of hypnosis can be felt physically, mentally, and emotionally. Physically, you may feel more relaxed, and your body muscles may become more relaxed. Mentally, you may become more focused and open to suggestion. Emotionally, you may feel more at ease and have a greater ability to understand and process issues.
Hypnotherapy can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including insomnia, depression, anxiety, phobias, pain, and smoking cessation. It is also used to boost self-confidence and self-awareness, as well as to build motivation and improve focus.
The success of hypnotherapy is dependent on both the patient and the therapist. For hypnotherapy to be successful, the patient needs to trust the therapist, feel comfortable with the process, and be willing to open up. The therapist needs to be highly trained and sensitive to the patient’s state of mind in order to effectively guide the patient in the right direction.

Types of hypnotherapy
When it comes to hypnotherapy, there is a wide range of techniques which can be used depending on the goal you wish to achieve. Here are the four main types of hypnotherapy that you should be aware of. Note that there are many methods of hypnotherapy.
1. Cognitive Hypnotherapy – This type of hypnotherapy combines traditional hypnosis with modern psychological techniques and aims to help you gain a better understanding of your underlying conditions and create new, healthier behaviours.
2. Analytical Hypnotherapy also known as HypnoAnalysis– This type focuses on analysing past experiences and how those may have caused a certain condition. It is a form of therapy that aims to discover and resolve the root cause of concern. It then works to reprogram the subconscious mind to enable the patient to gain control of their presenting issue and move on from it with great understanding.
3. Neuro-Linguistic Programming – This type of hypnotherapy focuses more on changing negative behaviour and thought patterns. It seeks to identify, examine and change a person’s mental models and how they react to certain situations.
4. Suggestive Hypnotherapy – This type of hypnotherapy works by making positive suggestions to the subconscious mind in order to influence and change the behaviour or thought process. It helps plasticize thoughts which may be causing harm in some way.
5. Parts Therapy – This type of therapy is similar to Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy by Richard Schwartz, Ego State Therapy (EST) by Watkins, Gestalt Therapy by Perl and many other variations. Parts Therapy today is known because of Roy Hunters. This type of hypnotherapy works by helping the client resolve inner conflict by becoming aware of the conflicting aspect of themselves and working with it to resolve the conflict.
