Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnotherapy
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis within a therapeutic context to facilitate change. Hypnosis involves a state of focused attention, increased receptivity to suggestion, and often a deep sense of relaxation or absorption. In this state, people may be more open to working with thoughts, feelings, images, and suggestions in ways that produce change. Clinical hypnosis is distinct from stage hypnosis — it is a tool used by trained clinicians for specific therapeutic purposes and does not involve losing control, being "put under," or doing things against one's will.
What does hypnotherapy treat?
Hypnotherapy has the best evidence for smoking cessation, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic pain, anxiety, phobias, and habit change (nail-biting, insomnia). It is used adjunctively for PTSD, health anxiety, performance anxiety, and weight management. Gut-directed hypnotherapy for IBS has particularly strong evidence — multiple randomized trials showing large effect sizes. For many conditions, hypnotherapy is used alongside (not instead of) other evidence-based treatments.
Is everyone hypnotizable?
Hypnotic responsiveness varies significantly between people — approximately 10–15% are highly hypnotizable, the majority are moderately responsive, and about 10–15% show low responsiveness. Higher hypnotizability generally predicts better response to hypnotherapeutic interventions, though benefit can occur across a range of responsiveness levels. Contrary to misconceptions, intelligent, imaginative people tend to be more hypnotizable, not less. Motivation and the quality of the therapeutic relationship also affect outcomes.
What does a hypnotherapy session look like?
A hypnotherapy session typically begins with relaxation and focusing — guiding the person into a hypnotic state through breathing, progressive relaxation, or imagery. The therapist then uses suggestions, imagery, or other techniques appropriate to the therapeutic goal (e.g., suggestions for pain relief, imagery to reduce anxiety, regression to explore past experiences). Sessions end with re-alerting. Many hypnotherapists teach self-hypnosis for use between sessions. Sessions are typically 60–90 minutes.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Hypnotherapy is safe when practiced by a trained mental health professional or other qualified clinician. Risks include emotional distress (as in any therapy), false memories in some contexts (important to consider when using hypnotic regression), and theoretical risks of worsening certain symptoms if used without clinical expertise. It is not appropriate as the primary treatment for psychosis or active suicidality. In Canada, hypnotherapy should be sought from practitioners who also hold a professional mental health credential (psychologist, psychotherapist, social worker) rather than from lay hypnotists without clinical training.
