Hypnosis therapy is effective primarily when patients express a strong interest in it. Patients who are ambivalent or disbelieving of the need for therapy often do not benefit. Low hypnotizable individuals can still gain advantages from personalized hypnosis approaches. Self-regulation can also be achieved through techniques such as breathing exercises, progressive relaxation, and biofeedback. A significant percentage of patients reported symptom improvements after being taught hypnosis, demonstrating its potential benefits when appropriately applied and willingly accepted.
Hypnosis therapy should not be offered until a patient expresses a strong interest. Two years after starting hypnosis in my practice, over 80 percent of patients improved.
Low hypnotizable individuals can benefit from hypnosis when therapy is individualized. Alternatives to hypnosis include psychodynamic therapy and psychotherapy.
Self-calming can be achieved through breathing techniques, progressive relaxation, and biofeedback. Many patients experience ambivalence about hypnosis if they don't believe in its necessity.
After reviewing case histories, I learned not to offer hypnosis until a patient shows interest. Nearly all patients who used hypnosis reported some improvement.
