Clinical Applications of Hypnosis
Modern hypnotherapists use hypnosis not only for medical purposes but also as an aid for the resolution of many problems of psychological origins. It is often successful when other, more conventional methods of treatment have failed.
Hypnotherapy can be applied, for example, to the following:
- Breaking unwanted habits e.g. smoking, nail biting, stuttering
- Building self confidence and fulfilling potential
- Overcoming phobias, compulsions and panic attacks
- Surviving trauma
- Handling stress and anxiety
- Controlling weight
- Improving memory and concentration
- Coping with nervousness e.g. exams, public speaking, stage fright
- Learning how to relax
- Enhancing sporting performance
- Defining and achieving goals
- Using self hypnosis as an ongoing method of therapy
