What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis, induced by a hypnotist, creates a state of mind where internal focus and attention dominate. This unique mental state may or may not involve a trance experience or relaxation, varying subjectively from individual to individual.
As a tool, hypnosis allows access to the subconscious mind, enabling the reprogramming of patterns within the nervous system. Hypnosis actively engages the mind to foster positive changes for those battling conditions like anxiety, addiction, or phobias.
