You don't have to spend much time on the internet to find out that the appliance of hypnosis is very wide. I could answer the question by writing a very long list, that wouldn't be complete. Because of that I will supply you with a short list of the most common thing that hypnosis is used to treat:

• Phobias - spiders, snakes, height, public speaking, anything really
• Weightloss
• Bad habits
• Smoking cessation
• Anxiety
• Sports performance
• Sexual issues

Hypnosis is often used when all regular treatment has failed. In my opinion this is a real shame. Don't get me wrong on this, you ALWAYS go to your doctor with problems regarding physical pain, but when the doctor discards a physical cause of the problems, you can consult a hypnotist. Another approach would be to supplement your physical treatment with hypnosis, if that's okay with your doctor.

A lot of problems seems to stem from unconscious limiting beliefs, and in that case you can seek out a hypnotist immediately. These limiting beliefs can sometimes prevent you from spelling well, reading well, losing weight, stop smoking, and so on. The thing is, that since they are unconscious limiting beliefs, you don't know that you have them, so how would you know that hypnosis could be helpful? You don't, but you can call up a hypnotist, and ask for their oppinion.
