The Department of Psychology, Centre for Postgraduate Studies and Research, St Agnes College (Autonomous), Mangaluru organized a two-day workshop on hypnotherapy on 9 and 10 March 2023. The workshop was conducted by Dr Jini Gopinath, a trained Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Hypnotherapist who has done extensive work in the field of mental health, wellness and education for the past 20 years.

Hypnotherapy is an adjunctive technique that utilizes hypnosis to aid in the treatment of specific symptoms or health conditions. Hypnotherapy works by inducing a hypnotic state marked by waking awareness that allows people to experience detached external attention and focus on inner experiences.

The goal of the workshop was to introduce hypnotherapy steps, procedures and techniques and to strengthen their knowledge in regard to psychological interventions through demonstrations and videos.
