What is a hypnotherapist?
From movies and television shows, people often get the idea that when a person is in hypnosis, they are under someone’s “control,” or someone else has “power” over them. In fact, by the person’s desire to be hypnotized, they are allowing the state to take place, and are in total control of their own mind and body. In a clinical setting, a Hypnotherapist helps facilitate the hypnotic state, and provides a safe, controlled, and confidential environment. A professionally trained Hypnotherapist is someone who helps you on a journey to accomplish your goals using hypnosis.

A Hypnotherapist is a person that will try to put their subject under hypnosis (not all subjects are candidates for being hypnotised.)

Certain patients are so traumatized they have blocked out memory of the trauma.
