what is psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is the treatment of psychological disorders through psychological methods. These methods include suggestion, persuasion, hypnosis, behaviour modification indirect encounter and psychoanalysis.

 

hypnosis and psychotherapy

One common misconception about hypnosis is that it is a crude tool of suggestion which is used solely to suppress the symptoms of a problem, even if this leads the hypnotic subject to act against their better judgement.

 

The Ericksonian Psychotherapeutic Approach, rather than viewing hypnosis as a state, assumes that it's an interpersonal process unfolding between the conscious and unconscious selves of client and therapist, which can be brought into focus towards the desired outcome.

 

Psychotherapy and hypnotherapy are natural, healing and relaxing processes used to refer to one's unconscious resources to deal with a present crisis through a deeply relaxed state.
