How is hypnosis different from cognitive psychotherapy?
Cognitive counseling often deals with issues at a conscious level, and many of life’s problems require just that. When someone has to problem-solve or make difficult, rational decisions, competent professional help can be essential. For example, hypnotherapy is not a substitute for marriage counseling. It is also not a substitute for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness by a licensed mental health professional. However, when it comes to changing habits or behaviors regulated by the subconscious, competent hypnotherapy can effectively and efficiently facilitate that change.
