Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic tool and process in which hypnosis and trancework are used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility during which positive suggestions and guided imagery are used to help individuals deal with a variety of concerns and issues, including depression.

Researchers know that changes in brain wave patterns can affect our mental health especially concerning the symptoms of depression, and hypnosis and other trance-inducing techniques can easily and quickly change brain wave patterns

Researches have shown that certain processes — including emotional changes in the brain — produce measurable activity. This type of activity is known as brain waves. Brain waves can be measured (as cycles per second, called hertz) and an understanding of brain waves can be an important tool in addressing mental and emotional health issues. There are many levels of brain waves but researchers divide them into four primary distinct varieties. They are Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta waves.
