Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, an amplified state of consciousness. It is a therapeutic tool and the objective of the sessions will vary according to a specific framework (relaxation, care, personal development, etc.). It will allow us to revisit reality and the way the patient perceives it.
On a daily basis, we all experience at some point a modified state of consciousness, therefore a hypnotic state. We observe a landscape… and after a while our mind takes us elsewhere. Ultimately we no longer necessarily look at him…. The same can happen during a conversation.
The applications of hypnosis are very vast. This can range from stress management to phobia, through assertiveness disorders or even to change addictive behaviors (such as smoking or eating disorders). The therapist will reduce the importance of the symptoms. It will not create with the wave of a magic wand a new behavior, but it will be based on a will, an already existing discourse to help the patient to perceive a reality differently and escape from suffering, to put it at a distance or even to resolve it.
