Hypnosis — or hypnotherapy — uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The person’s attention is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. In this naturally occurring state, a person may focus their attention — with the help of a trained therapist — on specific thoughts or tasks.

The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to discussion and suggestion. It can improve the success of other treatments for many conditions, including:
Phobias, fears, and anxiety
Sleep disorders
Depression
Stress
Post-trauma anxiety
Grief and loss

Hypnosis is not a dangerous procedure. It is not mind control or brainwashing. A therapist cannot make a person do something embarrassing or that the person doesn’t want to do

Psychological symptoms, particularly postpartum depression, may impair women’s well-being after childbirth. Mind-body treatments such as hypnosis are available to help prepare women to maintain or improve their well-being postpartum.Research demonstrates a variety of benefits from using hypnosis in conjunction with other therapies for treating depression, such as encouraging a sense of empowerment and reducing depressive symptoms. Further, a combined approach of therapy and hypnosis has been shown to alleviate depression to a greater degree than therapy alone, and that this effect is maintained even after therapy has ended
