Hypnotherapy is therapy that is undertaken with a subject in hypnosis.

The word "hypnosis" (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is an abbreviation of James Braid's (1843) term "neuro-hypnotism", meaning "sleep of the nervous system".

A person who is hypnotized displays certain unusual characteristics and propensities, compared with a non-hypnotized subject, most notably hyper-suggestibility, which some authorities have considered a sine qua non of hypnosis. For example, Clark L. Hull, probably the first major empirical researcher in the field, wrote,

If a subject after submitting to the hypnotic procedure shows no genuine increase in susceptibility to any suggestions whatever, there seems no point in calling him hypnotised...

Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject's behavior, emotional content, and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions including dysfunctional habits, anxiety, stress-related illness, pain management, and personal development.

Does Hypnotherapy work for a poor self image?
Q. I have quite low self esteem and a poor self image. I feel that I need to change my internal view of myself. I need to lose weight and get a job and so on but I lack the inner strength to do so and I think it is down to how I feel about myself inside. Do you think that hypnotherapy could help me make the positive changes I need to make?

Is it true that degree in clinical hypnotherapy can be accomplished in only 40 hours?
