The state of well – being can be described as understanding the quality of life led by various individuals (Statham & Chase, 2010). The concept of well- being in humans is broadly classified into two aspects - the first one is associated with having life satisfaction and a positive effect in one’s life.the study here is only focused towards the use of hypnotherapeutic interventions in the process of promoting a positive psychological heath scenario all across. The study undertakes a systematic review approach with 51 articles and aims to put forward a summarised version of the literature in the aspect of hypnotherapeutic interventions.The result of the study identifies a total of three themes from the systematic literature review conducted. It is found that the three identified themes have been put forward by researchers as the most effective impact of hypnotherapeutic interventions.
