*1.1.7 Expectancy*

Meditators expect to see reality without bias through their "pure bright awareness" rather than suggestibility. People using hypnosis expect suggestibility, believing that the hypnotist will be able to change their perception and motivation profoundly by giving suggestion after entering an altered state; that is, they will not want a cigarette or feel pain [11].

## **1.2 The difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy**

Although hypnosis and hypnotherapy are words that are used rather interchangeably, the two words are not the same. Hypnosis is more a state of mind while hypnotherapy is the name of the therapeutic version in which hypnosis is used [23].
