Editor's note:2017 marks the ninth year of Zhang Sina being a hypnotist. In 2008, Zhang then working as a surgeon, participated in rescue work after the devastating earthquake hit Wenchuan of Sichuan Province on May 12 that year. However, when she finished work and left the place, Zhang was diagnosed to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). During her treatment, Zhang began to realize the importance of mental health, which made her determined to become a psychologist.

Then, Zhang resigned from her previous job and opened her own hypnosis clinic in 2009 after further study. In Zhang's eyes, hypnosis is a tool for psychological treatment which can help with losing weight, promoting self-confidence, reducing stress, and maternal delivery. However, whether to introduce hypnotherapy into psychological treatment should be based on specific conditions. Besides hypnotherapy, psychological treatment also includes sand play therapy and treatment conversation.
