Therapists try to find out the root of the disease that might make them travel to the patients childhood (Zimberoff and Hartman 2014). Various patients have positive results from these treatments. In the case of cancer treatments, patients go through extensive episodes of pain, fear, sleeping disorder, emotional outbursts, and anxiety. Many patients, taking medications complain of discomfort. Subconscious mind mainly gives a reason for anxiety and stress as the main reason that holds the background of the pain that is faced during this episode (Plaskota et al. 2012).

She resorted to hypnotherapy where her specialist found out to some unwelcome situations that she faced in her childhood with her mother repeatedly being rejected by male partners and eventually shattered, led her to a development of a phobia tow ards committing to someone in fear of getting betrayed. Thus, she became a sole believer in the theory after her betterment in life. Therefore, the base and root of any fear be a fear towards animals or any particular objects or events, may be treated from the various information of the subconscious mind (Williamson and Gregory 2015). Various kinds of diseases and different sorts of fear may be treated by hypnotherapy and is nowadays relied upon by a lot of physicians as a complementary treatment for quick and complete recovery of an individual.
