Hypnotherapists

Hypnosis is a sleep-like state brought on by another person's suggestions. People under hypnosis may be suggested to relax, change their way of thinking, or even move under direction. Hypnotherapists help people use the powers of their minds to increase motivation, change behavior, and promote healing. The American Council of Hypnotist Examiners reports that the eight areas of application for hypnotherapy are: mental and emotional health, physical health, psychic and spiritual development, creative and educational endeavors, athletics and sports motivation, business interests, legal concerns, and use of imagery to achieve personal goals.
