Does Hypnotherapy Truly Work?
Drawbacks Of It

One drawback of hypnotherapy is the mediation is guided, which means patients may become reliant on having a practitioner present whenever they need to feel zen. If the only thing gained from hypnotherapy is a pure reliance on hypnotherapy, the aim of the treatment is lost in translation. Practitioners should put a focus on instilling the one issue at a time mentality for further integration in patients' lives; it is in this way alone that a solid trust can be built between parties. Another potential pitfall to hypnotherapy is when this bond is trust is broken in the process. Hypnotherapy's aim is to illicit openness in a patient, but if a practitioner abuses this information, the trust necessary for this type of therapy to exist disappears.
