2. Hypnotherapy has been in use by
humans for therapeutic (and other)
reasons for a very long time.

4. According to the expert in Celtic
archaeology Anne Ross, the Druids
of ancient Britain and Ireland are
likely to have practiced hypnosis as
part of their repertoire of healing
and other abilities.

5. However, in the Western world, the
use of hypnotherapy was pushed
back into the fringes and was viewed
with suspicion and mistrust, with
many considering that the ability of
one person to put another into a
hypnotic trance was “casting a
spell”,

6. meaning that the hypnotherapist was
possibly a witch or warlock, who
may have malign intentions.

7. Hypnotherapy came back
into focus in the 18th
century, during the
period known as the
Enlightenment.

8. The earliest named pioneer of
hypnotherapy was Franz Mesmer,
who gave his name to “mesmerism”,
which has been used as an
alternative term for hypnosis.

10. Magnetism had just been discovered,
and it was believed by Mesmer and
others of his kind that there was a form
of “animal magnetism”, similar to the
“animal electricity” that had been
discovered by Galvin in his famous
experiment involving frogs’ legs on
copper wire during a thunderstorm.

11. Everyone could see that metals
could affect each other via “mineral
magnetism”; was it possible for
living beings to influence and affect
each other via “animal magnetism”?

13. Later on, the term “hypnosis” was
coined and Mesmer’s name fell out
of favour, similar to the way Galvin’s
name had been dropped and the
word “electricity” used instead.

14. The word was based on the Greek
hypnos, meaning “sleep”, as a
hypnotic trance was considered to
be a form of sleep, the only other
alternate state of consciousness
known (or at least accepted) at the
time.

16. The general public was intrigued by
this new form of therapy and often
came to sessions where they could
experience “instant sleep” and all its
purported benefits.

17. As was the case with all new
therapies, the topic of hypnotherapy
was highly debated.

19. On the one hand, some
practitioners claimed that an
individual in a hypnotic trance could
diagnose their own illness with
extreme accuracy.

20. Others claimed that health could be
transmitted from the hypnotherapist
to the patient using “animal
magnetism” as a medium – a sort of
beneficial infection.

22. However, others dismissed this new
form of therapy as simple quackery
and put the cures down to the
placebo effect.

23. Today, Hypnotherapy has gained
acclamation in the field of
alternative medicine or therapy.

24. It is dubbed as a natural, relaxed
and focused state of mind that
creates an access to the powerful
resources of a persons subconscious
mind. Hypnotherapy is the
therapeutic application of hypnosis
to create positive remedial
outcomes for people.
