Hypnosis works by accessing the subconscious mind, which is more open to suggestion than the conscious mind. The subconscious mind could be described as everything within your experience and capabilities that you are not consciously aware of in this moment.
Hypnosis is a state of heightened focused attention, heightened suggestibility, and deep relaxation. It is often used in therapeutic settings to help individuals manage pain, reduce stress, and overcome various psychological issues.
