What are the most common types of hypnosis?
There really aren't different types of hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of conscious awareness in which a person is very, very relaxed and very open to suggestion. Hypnosis can be used in a variety of modalities, therapeutic modalities, for instance. Therapeutic imagery utilizes the trans state of hypnosis to help people use imagery, which is basically how our brains work anyway. We think in pictures, so we use a lot imagery as a discipline, and use that very relaxed state to help people visualize or envision either the state they want to be in, or forget the state they were in. S,o there aren't types of hypnosis, but it is used as a tool in a variety of different modalities.
