What is hypnosis?

Medical hypnosis

Medical hypnosis is a so-called brief therapy technique applied specifically in the field of healthcare, as a complement to conventional medical treatment when needed.

It helps manage various health issues by inducing a modified, or activated, state of consciousness in which the person is relaxed, focused and more receptive to suggestions.

In this context, the medically trained hypnotherapist uses induction techniques to help the patient mobilize their inner resources, thereby facilitating the healing and relief process.

Recent scientific studies, particularly in neuro-imaging, have shown that medical hypnosis can alter brain activity related to the perception of pain, stress and other emotional processes. It is increasingly being integrated into hospitals and medical centers alongside conventional medical care.
