Braid Hypnosis

Braid Hypnosis, named after the 19th-century physician James Braid, refers to a technique of inducing a trance-like state to enhance focus and relaxation. This method emphasizes the use of suggestion and mental imagery to alter a person's awareness and perception. It’s often used for therapeutic purposes, such as managing pain or anxiety, improving sleep, or changing habits. Braid believed that hypnosis could tap into the subconscious mind, helping individuals access their inner resources for positive change. Unlike popular portrayals, it is a voluntary process where the subject remains aware and in control.
