    Hi @ellie2000,

    As suggested in the title hypnotherapy is a form of therapy. According to the NHS "Hynotherapy uses hyponosis to try and treat conditions or change habits. There are different types of hypnotherapy, and different ways of hypnotising someone. First, you'll usually have a talk with your therapist to discuss what you hope to achieve and agree what methods your therapist will use. After this, the hypnotherapist may:

    - lead you into a deeply relaxed state - most people feel refreshed and relaxed
    - use your agreed methods to help you towards your goals - for example, suggesting that you do not want to carry out a certain habit
    - gradually bring you out of the trance-like state. Most people feel refreshed and relaxed

    You're fully in control when under hypnosis and do not have to take on the therapist's suggestions if you do not want to.

    If necesary, you can bring yourself out of the hypnotic state.

    Hypnosis does not work if you do not want to be hypnotised

    Important: Do not use hypnotherapy if you have psychosis or certain types of personality disorder, as it could make your condition worse. Check with a GP first if you've got a personality disorder" (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/hypnotherapy/).

    I hope the above information helps but if you have any additional questions or need anything to be clarified, please do not hesitate to reach out to us again :)
