Research suggest that hypnosis helps reduce anxiety and fear. This could lead to reduced pains associated with child birth.
From studies, when an individual is hypnotized, that individual is more relaxed, peripheral awareness is reduced and that individual is in a trance-like state and in extreme cases even numb to pains. This helps reduce pains during childbirth.
Problem solving is a part of critical thinking, but overall critical thinking is more about analyzing and observing different aspects of a situation.<span />
