Resumen
La hipnosis puede ser usada en diferentes contextos para mejorar la vida del paciente, ya que ésta ha resultado ser una técnica útil para abordar diferentes problemas físicos y psicológicos. Es utilizada como apoyo a diferentes tipos de terapias cognitivas, ya que ha demostrado ser un gran facilitador y potenciador de los resultados de éstas. Sin embargo, actualmente encontramos un decreciente uso de estas técnicas por hallarse inmersas en un halo de presunciones erróneas. En este trabajo se pretende dar fin a estas suposiciones, indagando sobre los conceptos de hipnosis y sugestión, conociendo sus tipos y aplicaciones en el ámbito psicoterapéutico, y mostrando el vínculo entre la hipnosis y los procesos de atención y control cognitivo. Además, indagaremos en el papel que juegan estos procesos en la reestructuración de esquemas cognitivos en las distintas terapias cognitivas, centrándonos en aquellas que pretenden mejorar la experiencia de pacientes con trastornos de ansiedad.
Hypnosis can be used in different contexts to improve the patient's life, as it has proven to be a useful technique for addressing various physical and psychological problems. It is used as a support for different types of cognitive therapies, as it has proven to be a great facilitator and enhancer of their results. However, we are currently finding a decreasing use of these techniques due to their presence in a halo of erroneous assumptions. This paper aims to dispel these assumptions by exploring the concepts of hypnosis and suggestion, understanding their types and applications in psychotherapy, and demonstrating the link between hypnosis and the processes of attention and cognitive control. We will also explore the role these processes play in the restructuring of cognitive schemas in various cognitive therapies, focusing on those that aim to improve the experience of patients with anxiety disorders.
