Hypnosis
Hypnosis
is a state of focused attention, inner absorption and
concentration. When you are more focused inwardly, the
body is better able to relax and the mind can work toward
change and healing. The psychologist who uses hypnosis
assists the development of the person's own ability
to relax and concentrate.
Clinical
hypnosis teaches the person to consciously enter deeper
states of relaxation, using more of the mind's healing
capabilities for problems like overeating, smoking,
or pain management. The successful use of hypnosis for
pain management has been documented in thousands of
books and articles, but should be performed only with
a specialist licensed in a field like psychology (Ph.D.,
Psy..D.), medicine (MD, DO) or dentistry (DDS, DMD).
Specialists accredited by the American Society of Clinical
Hypnosis (ASCH) have met extensive training and certification
requirements, and meet rigorous professional and ethical
standards.
