Hypnosis and hypnotherapy for Tinnitus

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a state of intense relaxation and concentration. When you are hypnotised you are not asleep or unconscious. It is thought that your mind becomes remote and detached from daily care and concerns when you are in this state, and the subconscious part of your mind responds creatively to any suggestions.
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis as a treatment. It can help you focus on things you wish to change, and on the best ways to do it. There are two main types:- suggestion therapy and analytical therapy.
Suggestion therapy is generally used to treat simple problems, such as smoking and nail biting. You will probably need one or two sessions of treatment.
Analytical therapy is based on the principle that every effect or symptom must have a cause. It is usually a long-term treatment, where the hypnotherapist builds a relationship with you and helps you look at and get rid of the 'subconscious' cause of your condition. By doing this, they hope to reduce the severity of your symptoms.
