Hypnotherapy is growing more popular as a form of alternative treatment and is actually quite different than the hypnosis that you may have seen in films or TV shows.

Hypnotherapy is a great way to address addictions that one may be struggling with. Hypnosis can help a patient reach the core of addiction and overcome the hold. Hypnotherapy may also be helpful for those who are seeking to lose weight. Some studies have shown that hypnosis may be 30 percent more effective than diet and exercising without the therapy.

Hypnotherapy may also be a great way to manage pain such as is found in migraines, arthritis and fibromyalgia. Not only can it help you get to the root of pain, but it can help isolate the pain and overcome it.

For those struggling with stress, hypnotherapy may be a great way to help the body learn to calm down and be able to deal with stressors as they come instead of being so overwhelmed by them.

Finally, for those challenged with falling or staying asleep at night, hypnotherapy may be a great way to achieve a deep REM sleep.
