Hypnotherapy can cure. Hypnotherapy is not a cure. Instead, it is a technique used to facilitate a specific short-term change or outcome. It is appropriate for many self-improvement goals but is not appropriate for all conditions. Only a hypnotist can induce hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a skill that is learned, enhanced, and developed with time and experience.
Anyone can learn this skill. A client can be trained by a hypnotherapist to hypnotize him- or herself. This is called self-hypnosis and is a recognized form of hypnotherapy. There is only one correct way to enter a hypnotic state. Each person experiences hypnosis differently because each person's mind processes information uniquely.
