Hypnosis: what kind of problem can it have an effect on?
- Hypnosis to lose weight

Different elements can thus be stimulated, such as self-confidence, self-esteem, or the analysis of lived experience.
Can we heal everything with hypnosis?
Although this technique is now part of the proposed remedies for certain problems and certain pathologies, hypnosis is far from being a universal solution. One, because it does not work on everyone, and two, because it is not a drug that can fight against diseases that require medical treatment followed.
