What is Adjunctive Clinical Hypnosis for Emotional Resolution?
Adjunctive clinical hypnosis is a powerful tool that enables healthcare professionals—including doctors, nurses, therapists, and psychologists—to help patients overcome phobias and emotionally charged events using structured hypnotic techniques. By working with distancing imagery and hypnotic reframing, clinicians can guide patients toward resolution without triggering distressing emotions.
Unlike traditional exposure therapy, hypnosis provides a controlled and calming approach that allows patients to process experiences at their own pace, improving outcomes and patient comfort.
