Non-verbal hypnosis, as the name suggests, does not work with words, but with the symbols and elements that activate emotions in people. If you enter an environment, you feel comfortable and you don’t want to leave, in a sense that place is hypnotic, because all the information that influences you without words is a kind of hypnosis.
Classical hypnosis is the best known to the public, however, according to Diego Wildbergerit is the one that has the least advantages, as it only induces the person to a state of relaxation.
“You are watching TV and out of nowhere the person faints. In fact he has not fainted, he has had access to more intense physical relaxation and the viewer thinks he has fainted. He wanted, but did not want. This technique is used to make shows and shows , but it has no therapeutic purpose, “he points out.
The third modality is conversational hypnosis, performed through words, using metaphors and analogies, in a more motherly and welcoming way.

What are the benefits of hypnosis
Hypnosis has a number of benefits. Among the most common are anxiety reduction, emotional control, increased creativity, resolution of trauma and physical relaxation.

The bias behind hypnosis
In March 2018, the Ministry of Health approved the inclusion of ten alternative therapies in the treatment of the Unified Health System (SUS), including hypnotherapy. However, Diego believes the technique suffers from some bias in hospital wards.
“Since there is no council that regulates hypnosis in Brazil, I believe health care professionals still have some concerns about hypnotist training. After all, where did you study? What are your ethical behaviors? And so on. But not. there is no way to ignore the benefits of the technique and the increase in its research. People are tired of taking medicine, they look for more natural ways, “he says.
