Hypnotherapy for Anxiety and Depression
Hypnosis can be seen as a waking state of awareness, in which a person’s attention is detached
from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings,
cognition and imagery.
Hypnotic induction involves focusing of attention and imaginative involvement to the point
where what is being imagined feels real. By the use and acceptance of suggestions, the clinician
and patient construct a hypnotic reality.
