Self hypnosis started out as hypnosis in which you needed a hypnotist to hypnotize you. This was done for psychological treatment. At first it was under scrutiny but in 1954 it was recognized as a valid form of therapy. This paved the way for the many other trends in hypnosis that we would soon see coming. As you can see self hypnosis can help with some things but not all things can be done with self hypnosis. Self hypnosis is a form of therapy and used to cure or improve upon yourself physically and mentally but it is not magic. When dealing in the realm of reality we must look at this form of therapy in a realistic view point. When we are hypnotized the hypnotist will tap into our subconscious mind allowing them to place subliminal messages into our unconscious section of our minds. Self hypnosis is the same concept only you are placing your self into a hypnotized state. By using self hypnosis you are using your mind during a restful state so that you can change habits, behavior and personality traits to all for you to reach your goals.
