hypnotherapy, n.All

Hypnotherapy (n.) was ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠quick and painless but hackwork, like incantation and hocus-pocus, and its cures did not last.

Hypnotherapy (n.) can ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠produce only an obedient imitation of spontaneity — which may be why its cures are so superficial and short-lived.
