People sometimes ask me why I emphasize the use of hypnosis as a central part of psychotherapy. Hypnosis is often described as ‘alternative’ or ‘complementary’. But as you’ll see in this video, I don’t see the role of hypnosis as peripheral at all.
In fact, I think everyone should understand the role of hypnotic trance both in psychotherapy and everyday life. And so I present to you my top three reasons for using hypnosis as an integral part of psychotherapy.
I explain why, like breathing oxygen, hypnotic trance happens to someone whether they believe in hypnosis or not, why emotional problems are really hypnotic disorders, and how pattern matching works. I also share some interesting research that found CBT has a 70% better success rate why using hypnosis.
