Every year on january 4, people celebrate World Hypnotism Day to debunk myths about hypnotherapy and raise awareness of its advantages. Hypnosis, a profoundly focused and relaxed state wherein peripheral awareness decreases and the capacity to react to suggestion increases, is a very helpful tool in treating addictions such as alcoholism, smoking cessation, or chronic pain relief, as well as reducing pain and anxiety following surgery or childbirth. However, before choosing to receive therapy, one must have faith in a licensed professional.
Hypnosis's history
The history of hypnosis began in 1770, when Franz Mesmer, a German physician, began employing it in Vienna and paris to treat his patients. Motivated by his approach, further medical professionals adopted it and dubbed it mesmerism. But, the practice was immediately disapproved of as being occult in some way. james Braid, a Scottish surgeon, brought it back to life and named the technique "hypnotism" or "hypnosis."
In an effort to dispel fallacies and raise public awareness of hypnotism's many advantages, the World Hypnotism Day Committee and Board Certified Hypnotist tom Nicoli founded the event in 2004. During the first commemoration, free consultations and hypnotism education programs were planned. Every year on january 4, there are awareness-raising activities regarding the benefits of hypnosis as a tool for positive life change and its use in healing from traumatic experiences.
