​Its main difference is the involvement of another person.

​Hypnosis can happen without any deliberate effort on the part of the individual.
Consequently, hypnotherapy involves the psychological functioning of a subject by whom he or she succeeds in abstracting the surrounding reality while keeping in relation with the “other person” (hypnotherapist). In hypnotherapy, it requires a part of “letting go” from the individual and allowing the “other person” (hypnotherapist) to be in control.

​In conclusion, hypnotherapy has the main purpose of facilitating change through the induction of hypnosis. While, hypnosis is simply a natural occurring state that serves innate functions without any intended purpose.
