derived from the Greek
word Hypnos, meaning
“sleep.”
•Relaxation + imagination

6. Hypnosis is a slightly altered state of mind that
most of us experience just about every day of our
lives, whether we are driving, daydreaming,
dropping off to sleep at night, or are simply
absorbed in a good book or film.

7.  Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to
give relief and removal of a huge variety
of conditions.
It is an altered state of awareness
induced by relaxation.
 It does not involve become unconscious
or going to sleep

this about by guiding the
individual into relaxation, and

other hypnotic techniques to treat people,
and while he achieved a number of dramatic
“cures” for blindness, paralysis, headache,
and joint pain, the medical community was
not convinced. Mesmer was accused of fraud
and his techniques called unscientific.

14. In the mid of
1900,hypnotherapy regained
popularity due to the career
of Milton H. Erickson (1901-
1980), a successful
psychiatrist who used
hypnosis in his practice.

15.  When in a relaxed state of hypnosis, it allows
you and the therapist to utilize your
subconscious mind - the powerhouse of your
mind.
 You are fully aware of what is taking place at
all times and cannot be made to do anything
you do not want to do.

16. There are three levels of mind which are as
follow:
 Conscious level
 Preconscious level
 unconscious level

18. There are several stages of hypnosis.
 The process begins with reframing the
problem;
 Becoming relaxed,
 Then absorbed (deeply engaged in the
words or images presented by a
hypnotherapist);
 Dissociating (letting go of critical
thoughts);
 Responding (complying whole-heartedly
to a hypnotherapist’s suggestions);
 Returning to usual awareness

with the more deep-seated
problems that many people have
such as anxiety, depression,
phobias, fears, eating disorders

emotional problems/symptoms

the person will have within them a fear,
whether it is of spiders, heights, snakes,
open spaces, dogs, Analytical Hypnotherapy,
seeks to find the root cause, rather than just
removing a symptom of it. Once the root fear
is removed, it becomes powerless.

23.  Pure hypnoanalysis is a very special type of
analytical hypnotherapy and is the single
most effective form of therapy available in
the world today. It is a highly developed form
of analytical hypnotherapy (sometimes called
Hypno-analysis).
 Pure Hypnoanalysis allows you to quickly and
easily resolve the emotions that were causing
the symptoms.

are fully in control but relaxed. You are
