What is the difference between stage hypnotism and hypnotherapy?
Stage hypnotism is done for the sake of entertainment. Its important to understand that the participants are willingly becoming hypnotized and going along with the show and if they desired, they would chose not to take the suggestions of the hypnotist. Therapeutic hypnosis uses a state of relaxation to make positive health changes in an individual. Unlike stage hypnotism, the hypnotherapist will not ask you to embarrass yourself or perform in any way.
