What is Hypnosis and How Can Hypnosis Help You?

HYPNOSIS STATISTICS
Other Statistics on Hypnosis The study was (and still is) a review of psychotherapy literature by Dr Barrios, which was published in 1970 and originally featured in the The Psychotherapy Journal of the American Psychiatric Association which showed some impressive findings.

After surveying over 2000 journal articles, Dr. Alfred Barrios came up with the following recovery rates:

Type of therapy Recovery rates Number of sessions

Hypnotherapy 93% 6
Behavior therapy 72% 22
Psychoanalysis 38% 600

Hypnosis has the highest success rate It is important to remember that these are average numbers and should not really be interpreted to suggest that any condition can be helped in 6 hypnotherapy sessions. Indeed, some would be overcome in a great deal less time and likewise, some may require more.

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis is a natural therapeutic process that helps to recover suppressed memories or to allow behavior modification with the use of post hypnotic suggestions, or to allow behavior modification with the use of posthypnotic suggestions, metaphors and imagery. With that said, your subconscious mind is reached through these suggestions allowing the conscious mind to rest while the subconscious mind does all of the work. Hypnosis is not a supernatural method.
