Question 2

What is it used for? For whom?

Here is a list of subjects for which it is possible to consult:

Weight control (e.g .: weight loss, muscle gain, eating disorders, etc.)

Question 3

Is it really effective?

Accepted Answer

Hypnosis therapy is as effective as other types of therapy: it all depends on how you receive it and whether you agree to do the work on yourself. This approach is another tool for overcoming difficulties: the therapist accompanies the person in his process and serves as a guide, but it is the client himself who determines the effectiveness of the consultations through his involvement and his willingness.
