Hypnotherapy is a psychological technique that induces a sleep-like state and can be used in conjunction with other therapies such as psychotherapy to promote positive changes in the mind. The process often begins with the initiation of a relaxed state to sustain an inward focus in an effort to reduce external awareness and enhance one’s ability to respond to therapeutic suggestion. This is aided by a calm stream of instructions from a highly-specialised therapist, which aims to direct the session to best benefit the individual. When in this altered state of consciousness, hypnosis might intensify one’s concentration on a particular memory or experience, allowing other sources of distraction to be ignored.
