Hypnosis; It is a trance state in which concentration and focus are at the highest level. Hypnosis created by looks, words or objects during sessions is a special state of consciousness. During hypnosis, the person closes himself to external stimuli and focuses on the suggestions of the hypnotist voluntarily.
There are moments in daily life when we spontaneously enter the hypnotic state of consciousness. Just like watching a program that attracts our attention on TV, forgetting time and place. In these cases, we close ourselves to external stimuli and focus on that subject.
WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnosis is just a technique. It is the state of putting a person in a trance state. Hypnotherapy is therapy in this trance state. In order to perform this therapy, it is not enough to just know hypnosis; it is not enough to know the person's personality organization, consciousness, unconsciousness, the chain of emotions, what to do with the memories that come, and how to intervene when traumatic memories come. You also need to know.
Thanks to hypnosis, we can reach the person's unconscious much more easily with a self-focused mind. It may be easier for him/her to notice vital events that are important to him/her, which he/she does not notice in daily life or thinks he/she has forgotten.
