Hypnotherapy is medical in nature, stage hypnosis, however, is a performing art.

Ericksonian Hypnosis – A more subtle approach that uses storytelling and metaphors, developed by Milton Erickson. It’s gentle but effective. Self-Hypnosis – You guide yourself into a relaxed, focused state—great for stress relief or boosting confidence. Cognitive-Behavioral Hypnosis – Combines hypnosis with CBT techniques to treat things like anxiety, habits, or negative thinking. Stage Hypnosis – This is all about entertainment. Shows like Hyprov bring hypnosis to the stage, mixing it with comedy for a fun, interactive experience. Hypnotherapy – Used by trained professionals to help with deeper issues like trauma, phobias, or chronic pain.
