A pocketwatch is frequently used as a means of visual focus for hypnosis. It can be easily swung back and forth in a rhythmic motion, which can assist in inducing a hypnotic state in someone.

According to Healthline.com, "Hypnosis is a genuine psychological therapy process. A trained hypnotist or hypnotherapist induces a state of intense concentration or focus to help you open up to therapeutic improvement."[1]

Self-hypnosis

According to Jillian Williams, LISW-S, self-hypnosis "can best be described as a self-induced, intentional trance."[2]
