The Unknown Healing Art, Can It Help You?

Steve Kovacs
What are the healing arts? Well, there are many different healing arts such as the many medical specialties including gynecology, general surgery, pediatrics and a host of other fields dealing with medical science. Then there are the disciplines of psychology, massage therapy, chiropractic medicine and acupuncture.

What about hypnotism, is it a healing art? Is it real? Does it work?

Many questions; let me answer them without wasting too much of your time. Yes, yes, and yes!

Hypnotism is real and certainly helps people. Hypnotherapists work hand in hand with some medical doctors and is utilized by some psychiatrists to help their patients.

There is a very real difference between a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist.

Stage hypnotists gear themselves to more suggestible, willing individuals at a party or club to put on a fun but real show—you know like "you´re a chicken now and when I snap my finger you will walk and cluck like a chicken." Again, this phenomenon is real, however, very different from what a hypnotherapist does.

A hypnotherapist works with clients to help with smoking cessation, weight loss, pain management, anxiety, phobias along with assisting with athletic performance issues. Many people have quit smoking, have lost weight and have had major successes with chronic pain issues under the direction and guidance of a hypnotherapist. Additionally, in regards to pain, hypnosis has been found beneficial in minimizing pain in individuals or even stopping it when nothing else seemed to work.


Some athletes, including world-class athletes, utilize hypnotherapists to help them focus and function at a higher level than they seem to be able to achieve on their own. Hypnotherapists work on tapping into a person´s unconscious mind to help them with whatever issues they want to change or modify. The client or subject is never out of control and will never do something they do not want to do.

Hypnosis is authentic and if you are considering utilizing it, I suggest you look closely into the training an individual went through to be a hypnotherapist. Was their training a weekend, a week or a year? There is at least one school in The United States that has one year of training before certifying a hypnotherapist.

Hypnosis is real and is accepted by most individuals as a tool in various therapies. If you have considered using it to help you in some way, contact an educated professional in the field or talk to your doctor and see if it may be right for you.
