Introduction to Working with Hypnotherapy

Description

What is hypnotherapy and where did it originate?

The word hypnosis was coined by James Braid during 1842. He used the term hypnotism from the Greek word hypnosis, meaning sleep, because that's what he thought it was. And because doctors and scientists were looking for a word that could best describe the phenomena that was causing a stir in Europe, this phenomena was hard to describe.

In conclusion, Aesculapius' legacy has left a significant mark on the world of medicine and healing. His techniques of inducing patients into deep sleep or trances have evolved over the years to become a cornerstone of modern hypnotherapy practices. While the techniques and methods have changed, the core principle of healing through deep relaxation and visualisation remains a vital part of hypnotherapy today.
