Hypnotism has been used since the 1840s and can take several forms including traditional hypnosis, hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis, and NLP hypnosis. Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to promote healing and can help with issues like addictions, emotions, pain, and more. Self-hypnosis allows one to hypnotize themselves for relaxation. While hypnosis has advantages like stress reduction and helping to change unhealthy behaviors, it also has disadvantages like not being recommended for serious psychological disorders and potential disappointment if used expecting miracles. Modern hypnotherapists use it to treat various conditions from phobias and smoking cessation to confidence issues and exam stress.
