This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in reducing anxiety disorders among adult patients at Klinik Griya Bahagia Sehat, Bandar Lampung. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, non-participant observations, and analysis of clinical documentation. The study subjects included five adult patients aged 29–56 years, therapists, and the clinic owner as key informants. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, which encompasses data reduction, data display, and systematic drawing of conclusions. The findings indicate a reduction in patient anxiety scores ranging from 65% to 90% after 6–15 hypnotherapy sessions, with significant improvements in physical symptoms, emotional well-being, and daily quality of life. Patients reported positive experiences, increased self-control, and enhanced ability to manage stress and overthinking. Evaluations from therapists and the clinic owner confirmed the effectiveness, safety, and psychological acceptability of hypnotherapy. These results underscore that therapy success depends not only on technique but also on active patient engagement, session consistency, and adherence to structured protocols. The study concludes that hypnotherapy is a safe, individualized, and comprehensive psychological intervention for managing anxiety disorders in adult patients. It is hoped that this research encourages readers to consider hypnotherapy as an adaptive, effective, and contextually relevant alternative intervention within local clinical settings.References
