    Hypnosis: For Improving Better Health

    Uploaded by

    David Tesfaye
    Hypnosis is defined as a scientifically verified altered state of consciousness that can promote human change. It was discovered in 1765 by Franz Mesmer who believed in "animal magnetism" as the mechanism, though later James Braid renamed it hypnosis from the Greek word for sleep. There are three main types - traditional, Ericksonian, and neuro-linguistic programming. Hypnosis can be used for stage performances, psychic investigations, and clinically for improving health issues like insomnia, depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, and weight loss. While hypnosis has benefits like reducing pain and controlling behaviors, there are also risks like losing judgment and higher risk of accidents if not performed properly.
