Clinical Hypnosis remains one of the most effective and rapid ways to heal various issues or past traumas.
Unfortunately, much of this knowledge has been somewhat removed from society by the proliferation of psychologists and psychiatrists. The entire industry of psychology was manufactured almost single-handedly by Freud, and to some extent Jung, who were at somewhat opposite ends of the spectrum. Few people are aware that both were hypnotists, though Freud was not a very good one, and that he admitted in his own diaries of being hungry for fame and that he would create the “science” of psychology to be very lengthy and very expensive. In short, he wanted to be famous and line his own pockets by making the “cure” last a long time so he could be paid more.
Jung, by contrast was a very unethical man, who had relations with some of his female clients and was also an occultist. However sincere they may be, the body of work that professional psychologists and psychiatrists have been building upon has foundations laid by these two men. Psychiatry and psychology have continued to develop, but treatment is often drawn out and limited (if the treatment is successful at all).
Hypnosis, on the other hand, has been ignored in favour of these more lucrative, though less effective, practices.
The reality is that hypnosis, competently and ethically performed, can help people deal with a vast variety of issues in a relatively short space of time. While a single good session of hypnosis can, for example, result in someone simply stopping their smoking habit, if one were to go to a psychologist for this, months of sessions of talking are unlikely to resolve the problem. To some extent, the analogy applies to most aspects of the human condition.
