What is Eriksonian hypnosis?

What is Ericksonian hypnosis and what are its benefits?

Ericksonian hypnosis is a modern, respectful, and effective form of therapeutic hypnosis, developed by the American physician and psychologist Milton H. Erickson. Unlike other, more directive styles, Ericksonian hypnosis uses a gentle, personalized, and deeply human approach.

 

Instead of “dominating” the patient’s mind, the aim is to activate the unconscious resources that already exist within the person. This is achieved through the use of metaphors, stories, and indirect suggestions that naturally induce a state of concentration and relaxation. It is similar to entering a state of conscious dreaming, where the mind becomes more receptive to change and deep learning

  • Ericksonian hypnosis is based on a fundamental premise: each person is unique and possesses within themselves the necessary resources to heal, change, and evolve. The therapist does not impose solutions but acts as a respectful guide, helping the person discover their own answers.

Discover hypnosis: safe, natural and without side effects

Hypnosis is a completely natural, safe, non-invasive, and harmless therapeutic tool. It's not about losing control or falling asleep, but about entering a state of deep relaxation and concentration in which your mind is more receptive to the positive change you desire and deserve.

Contrary to what some movies or shows portray, therapeutic hypnosis is neither mysterious nor dangerous. There are no side effects, no drugs are used, and you remain in control at all times. It is a respectful, gentle, and profoundly effective process for addressing issues such as anxiety, stress, habits, or limiting beliefs.
