What Is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a trance-like mental state in which people experience increased attention, concentration, and suggestibility. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and vivid fantasies.
Hypnosis is a very real procedure that can be employed as a therapeutic tool, despite the fact that there are numerous myths and misconceptions about it. It has been demonstrated that hypnosis offers therapeutic and medicinal advantages, particularly in the treatment of anxiety and pain. Even the symptoms of dementia may be lessened by hypnosis, according to some research.
