Hypnosis is the means or a way to introduce a deepened state of consciousness (trance) that is most often combined with a profound sense of relaxation and calm. The trance resembles natural, spontaneously occurring states that can be also be experienced primarily when falling asleep, waking up, daydreaming, reading a book while deeply concentrated or watching a film: perception is so concentrated and the concentration of the consciousness is so focused on a specific thing that all other surrounding signals are no longer consciously registered. In this state, fear-causing stimuli can be transformed in such as way that they no longer burden one’s attention. In dental hypnoses, attention is guided towards a pleasant, positive experience in which patients can let themselves be treated while calm and relaxed.
An important factor in this is the trusting relationship in the treatment. The foundation for medical hypnotherapy is the voluntary collaboration between patient and care provider. Going into a trance or state of deep relaxation and re-emerging from it is an entirely voluntary process – it has nothing to do with volition nor does it limit in any way one’s will. Patients are actively involved in the relaxation and are taught how to induce this state of calm and relaxation on their own.
