Hypnotherapy Across Cultures [edit]
Shamanism
Many similarities can be drawn between hypnotherapy and Shamanism: for instance, both practices utilize the unconscious mind and imagination.[1] In fact, some of the earliest documentations of hypnosis can be traced back to native shamans.[2] Both of these practices operate with the intent to help someone solve issues and grow.[1]
Aikido
Aikido is a martial art that shares some similarities with hypnotherapy. One of the interesting similarities between Ericksonian hypnotherapy and Aikido is that both Erickson and the creator of Aikido were frequently ill in their childhoods. Aikido’s centering technique displays qualities similar to that of hypnosis such as: relaxation, deep breathing, increased self perception and awareness.[3]
Uses[edit]
Anxiety Disorders [edit]
Hypnotherapy demonstrates comparable efficacy to other forms of therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, that utilize relaxation techniques and imagery.[4] It has also shown to be successful when used to reduce anxiety in those with dental anxiety and phobias.[5]
Efficacy[edit]
- A 2003 meta-analysis on the efficacy of hypnotherapy concluded that "the efficacy of hypnosis is not verified for a considerable part of the spectrum of psychotherapeutic practice."
- ...
- A 2014 meta-analysis that focused on hypnotherapy's efficacy on irritable bowel syndrome found that it was beneficial for short term abdominal pain and other gastrointestinal issues.[6]
- ...
- In a 2022 meta-analysis on hypnotherapy's efficacy on dental anxiety, it was found that "hypnosis can also be regarded as powerful and successful method for anxiety reduction," but also stated that further research is required.[5]
