What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. It aims to address various mental, emotional, and behavioral issues.

Hypnotherapy is a type of psychological therapy that utilizes hypnosis to help treat various mental and physical health conditions, as well as to facilitate behavior change. It’s often used as a complementary therapy alongside other medical or psychological treatments.

Here’s a breakdown of what hypnotherapy involves:

Hypnosis as a state: Hypnosis is a state of focused concentration and heightened suggestibility, where a person becomes less aware of their immediate surroundings and more attuned to their inner experiences, such as feelings, thoughts, and imagery. It’s often described as similar to a deeply relaxed, dream-like state, but you remain in control and are aware of what’s happening. You cannot be hypnotized against your will.

The hypnotherapy process:

Induction: A trained hypnotherapist guides you into this relaxed, focused state, often using soothing verbal repetition, guided imagery (like imagining a peaceful scene), and deep breathing techniques.

Suggestions: Once in the hypnotic state, the therapist makes suggestions tailored to your treatment goals. These suggestions are aimed at helping you change unhelpful thoughts, perceptions, behaviors, or to better cope with symptoms. For example, for pain management, suggestions might focus on altering pain perception or improving pain tolerance.

Reintegration: Gradually, the therapist helps you return to your normal state of awareness.

How it works (theories): While the exact mechanisms aren’t fully understood, some theories suggest that hypnosis promotes specific brain wave activity that makes the mind more receptive to new ideas. Others propose that it accesses the “unconscious mind,” which is more open to new ideas than the rational “conscious mind.” It’s considered a “top-down regulation” where verbal suggestions influence how you think and feel.

Common Uses of Hypnotherapy: Hypnotherapy is used for a wide range of issues, including:

Pain control: For conditions like chronic pain, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and pain associated with burns, cancer, or dental procedures.

Anxiety and stress management: Including panic attacks, phobias, and stress before medical or dental appointments.

Behavioral changes: Such as quitting smoking, weight loss, overcoming sleep problems, bed-wetting, and compulsive behaviors.

Mental health conditions: May be used as an adjunct treatment for depression, PTSD, and certain eating disorders.

Other uses: Reducing hot flashes from menopause, easing side effects from cancer treatments (like nausea), and enhancing self-esteem.

Important: It’s essential to seek a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist for treatment.

Gisela Garcia.

Being so lucky for having the opportunity to learn every day from incredible smart colleagues from across the world is of course another great one.Maybe less known to outsiders, the incredible amount of resources the WBG offers to its employees’ well-being and continuous learning is definitely another.

A few years ago (feels like yesterday) I had the opportunity to attend the Search Inside Yourself Leadership training promoted by Luis Schwarz Kalijman, at the time the head of the Healthy Staff Working Group of the World Bank Staff Association.

Loved every minute of it. I invite you to take a look and learn more. I am definitely curious and motivated to keep learning.

Gulnara Febres.

Luis Schwarz Kalijman is an excellent expert on behavioral health, who mastered the best educational program for the World Bank staff which was considered “the best training program” for a number of years. Luis has established a community of practice at the World Bank focused on the issues of healthy living, which helped thousands of World Bank staff to improve their lives, to take care of their health and stay alert on some recent development in the area. Lous was himself a World Bank staff and knew how the work stress can influence people’s well-being. He cared for people and served as an advocate of good lifestyle and healthy habits. We admired Luis for his invaluable contributions to the World Bank culture, wellbeing of the World Bank staff and post-retirement health care for staff. Grateful to Luis for his hard work and dedication and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Additionally, Luis possesses excellent knowledge and skills in coaching. He has a natural talent for mentoring and guiding others, always willing to lend a helping hand and share his wisdom. Luis consistently demonstrated interest in the growth and development of his colleagues.

JB Collier.

I worked with Luis for many years at the World Bank. He is an outstanding, highly skilled professional. He is also a fantastic leader and mentor in the area individual health and well being.

Carlos Alberto Rios.

I had the opportunity to closely follow the career of Luis, a professional of great integrity and excellence in the field of Public Finance. His decades of service at the World Bank are a testament not only to his high technical expertise but also to the trust and recognition he has earned in highly demanding global environments, having worked on government projects across most regions of the world.
Beyond his solid financial background, I highlight his unique ability to integrate communication analysis, sensory approaches, and mental health perspectives, which allows him to understand the human dynamics behind organizational processes. This holistic vision has enabled him to generate impact not only in financial results but also in the way teams work, communicate, and achieve common goals.
I wholeheartedly recommend him as a world-class professional and an outstanding individual.
