Medical hypnosis can be an effective clinical tool for the relief of physical symptoms. Hypnosis is a voluntary, generally safe, and potentially effective process that involves a person and a therapist working together to bring about positive changes. Practitioners may be able to use hypnosis to help people bring about both psychological and physiological change in three main ways: using mental imagery to help a person visualize themselves accomplishing their goals presenting ideas or suggestions that are compatible with what a person desires unconscious exploring to identify whether past events or experiences are causing a personal problem in making positive changes Individuals can also learn the technique of self-hypnosis as self-hypnosis is similar to mindfulness techniques and meditation.
