You are welcome to benefit from my 19+ years of experience conducting hypnotherapy. It is a form of psychotherapy with the use of hypnosis. I resort mostly to Cognitive Behavioral Hypnotherapy and Ericksonian hypnosis. Milton Erickson was skilled in localizing and removing mental triggers for physical and psychological symptoms. He was a genius in understanding the mind-body connection and restoring balance and health. A psychotherapist can hypnotize only with the permission of the client.

The hypnotic state itself may feel just pleasant and relaxing. It is similar to that inner state of peacefulness and tranquility often encountered in meditation when you can leave all the problems of the outside world outside and keep finding ever more fascinating 'inner passages.' It may be places of exceptional beauty, empowerment, and Love. Discovering yourSelf and your connection with the Divine – or maybe just that place where you can unwind completely, let go of all stress, relax, and refresh. For some, it is easier to learn to attain such a state with hypnotic guidance than when they try to calm their minds in meditation.
There are many applications of hypnosis. For example, athletes use a hypnotic state to rehearse in their minds that perfect performance before they can achieve it physically, and it helps them attain the performance much faster. Another example might be listening to affirmations in a light hypnotic state to accentuate strengths and shake off negativity. Or using self-hypnosis to stay comfortable during a dental appointment.
From simple self-help applications to demanding a high level of psychological knowledge and psychotherapy skills and attending to deeply buried emotional wounds from the past, hypnotherapy means many different things.
