The Power of Hypnosis in Healing

Hypnosis, which involves narrowing the focus of attention, can help heal the mind, stock negative thoughts, and enhance motivation. It is the oldest form of Western psychotherapy and has been used successfully for pain management. Hypnosis works by reducing the brain's salience network and increasing connectivity between the executive control network and the insula, enabling individuals to control and alleviate pain. Studies have shown that hypnosis is effective in reducing pain levels and anxiety during medical procedures, leading to shorter procedure times and lower medication use.
