Hypnose - Geht das wirklich? | reporter

Hypnosis is well-known as an entertainment element in TV shows and other stage productions. To entertain the audience, seemingly randomly selected participants are chosen from the audience and put into a trance. They then morph into animals, forget their names, or otherwise make fools of themselves. Timm met with hypnosis trainer Alexander Hartmann in Stuttgart and tried hypnosis himself. Hartmann is critical of stage hypnosis. He says that too often people are ridiculed simply to create the most shocking effect possible. Furthermore, he believes it damages the reputation of reputable hypnotherapists, whose image suffers. Medical and psychological hypnotherapists use hypnosis techniques for their patients. Hypnotherapy was recognized as a scientifically based psychotherapeutic method by the Scientific Advisory Board in 2006. According to the German Society for Hypnosis (DGH), it can be effectively combined with other therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or depth psychology. ... This medical or psychological hypnosis is considered successful in treating pain. Hypnotherapists guide their patients into a trance state. According to the German Society for Hypnosis (DGH), the method also helps with chronic pain. However, several hypnosis sessions are often necessary for long-term pain relief. Hypnosis can also be helpful for anxiety disorders such as phobias or panic attacks. It can also be used for conditions where a doctor suspects a psychosomatic component. Its use in smoking cessation is also well-known. If you are seeking medical help, please always consult your doctor first. A thorough consultation should always take place before hypnosis to identify any potential contraindications. These include, for example, psychotic states or a borderline personality disorder diagnosis. Depression can also be a contraindication. The consultation should also address whether hypnosis is the appropriate therapeutic approach or whether other psychotherapeutic techniques might be more suitable. Recognized and certified hypnotherapists can be found at the German Society for Hypnosis: https://dgh-hypnose.de/therapeutensuche Service Health – Hypnosis in Medicine (WDR) https://www1.wdr.de/wissen/mensch/ser...
