Self-hypnosis is similar to what people experience when they go to a hypnotherapist, with the one biggest difference of not leaving with slightly less money in their pocket. The biggest thing is that people need to understand the brain controls emotions, which is what actually makes it possible for someone to heal themselves mentally. In order to have a successful regimen, it is important for the person to find a quiet place and time, so they will not be disturbed by others. To begin the routine, the person should close their eyes and imagine some really calming scene, such as ocean waves or a beach, and visualize all of the stress just floating away. The routine can be done as frequently as the person likes, and most people practice this regimen for at least 15 minutes.
