Hypnosis and Suggestibility

Hypnosis is a focused state of consciousness where a person becomes more receptive to suggestions, often leading to changes in perceptions, feelings, or behaviors. It occurs naturally and can be induced through techniques like guided relaxation. Suggestibility refers to how responsive an individual is to hypnosis or external suggestions; some people are highly suggestible and easily influenced, while others are less so. This variability depends on factors like personality, focus, and openness. Hypnosis is used therapeutically to manage pain, stress, or habits and is safe when conducted by trained professionals.
