Traditional cognitive psychotherapy is that it is done at a cognitive level. The therapist and the patient are talking in a cautious, alert state. Hypnosis deals with the mind at a somewhat deeper level, perhaps a much deeper level. We work with the subconscious part of the mind. It's important to remember that in most states, and the state of California is one of them, a lay hypnotherapist, who is not a trained or licensed mental health professional, is not allowed to, nor should, treat a psychogenic, psychological disorder, disease without the written approval and referral in consultation, of someone who is trained to treat and diagnose these issues and that is very very important. However, in conjunction with traditional therapy, hypnotherapy can speed the process of recovery and I have seen results that people would say are magical.
