Hypnotherapy is the application of hypnosis as a form of treatment, usually for relieving pain or conditions related to one's state of mind. Practitioners believe that when a client enters, or believes he has entered, a state of trance, the patient is more receptive to suggestion and other therapy. The most common use of hypnotherapy is to remedy maladies like obesity, smoking, pain, ego, anxiety, stress, amnesia, phobias, and performance but many others can also be treated by hypnosis, including functional disorders like Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

hypnotism (hĭp'nətĭzəm) [Gr.,=putting to sleep], to induce an altered state of consciousness characterized by deep relaxation and heightened suggestibility. The term was originally coined by James Braid in 1842 to describe a phenomenon previously known as animal magnetism or mesmerism (see Mesmer, Friedrich Anton). Superficially resembling sleep, it is generally induced by the monotonous repetition of words and gestures while the subject is completely relaxed. Although almost everyone can be hypnotized, individuals vary greatly in susceptibility. The hypnotic state is characterized by heightened suggestibility and represents an altered state of consciousness as recent research has shown electrical changes occur in brain activity when a person is hypnotized. Ernest Hilgard's neodissociation theory (1977) has been influential in the explanation of hypnosis. Hilgard's theory asserts that several distinct states of consciousness can be present during hypnosis, such that certain actions may become dissociated from the conscious mind. In the late 19th cent., it was used by a number of medical practitioners, who found that individuals susceptible to hysteria are highly suggestible and can be put into deep hypnosis, sometimes leading to a cure. Sigmund Freud used the method in psychoanalysis. In recent years, hypnosis has been widely used by practitioners as an aid in medical practice and psychotherapy. Hypnosis is also used in some criminal investigations, to help defendants to recall events they might otherwise not remember.

Hypnotism is far more subtle than the cartoon mesmerising.\n\nIt is about relaxation and psychology not zapping someone ... move on this is not how you are going to attract someone.

Physical therapy (also known as physiotherapy) is a health profession concerned with the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of disease and disability through physical means. It is based upon principles of medical science, and is generally held to be within the sphere of conventional (rather than alternative) medicine. Physiotherapy is practiced by physiotherapists (also known as physical therapists, e.g. in the United States), though aspects may also be practiced under supervised delegation by physiotherapy assistants or other health professionals.

Hypnosis works better with certain personalities.  The people who can use it best are people who can become absorbed in reading a book to the point where they tune out time and things going on around them.\n\nHypnosis is really just an ability to become extremely focused on something mentally.  I would think you would want to work with a therapist if you do not know much about it.\n\nI used it to quit smoking  with a hypnotist, twice, 3 years apart.  I tried other quitting methods, gum, support-classes, cold turkey, but getting focused enough to believe "I am a non-smoker" was what worked for me.  After I knew I didn't smoke, the withdrawal symptoms were just something I had to endure for a while, like the flu, and not a call for a cigarette.

I've heard of hypnosis as working before. Another way is to just quit cold turkey. You have to be determined to quit.

For many people hynotherapy can actually work very well.  Trust me, it's nothing like the old movies--you know, with  the swinging pocket watch and all.  ;-)
