What Is The Difference Between Hypnosis vs. Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis
 

Hypnosis is a brain wave state measurable with an EEG machine.  To keep things simple, there are four brain wave states, as follows:

1. Beta is a state of high consciousness.  That is what you should be in while reading this.
2. Alpha is known as a light state of hypnosis.  This is more likely what you are in while reading this.
3. Theta is known as a deep state of hypnosis.  This state is helpful for deep regression work.
4. Delta is the sleep state.

So by now understanding brain waves and what they mean you're able to understand just how we all go in and out of hypnosis naturally every single day!

If you're familiar with meditation then you'll be familiar with hypnosis.  What's the difference between hypnosis vs. meditation?  Same say nothing... except the intent!

Meditation is for relaxing and releasing the stress of the day whereas hypnosis is for accessing the subconscious mind to make a direct change; to improve an area of your current life that you would like to function better or to heal a part of your past that is sabotaging you today.

Hypnothearpy
 

Hypnotherapy is a process whereby we access the state of hypnosis for purposes of therapy.  For example, finding the root cause of an issue, healing unresolved emotions such as past anger, resentment, fear, anxiety, hopelessness, etc.

The practice of hypnotherapy by a qualified and certified hypnotherapist is often referred to as the practice of complimentary and alternative medicine.

The definition of ‘medicine’ is the art and science of healing. It encompasses a range of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
