Good question, the differences between guided imagery and hypnosis are many. But the main differences are that hypnosis is always a state of heightened suggestibility, where this is not true of guided imagery. Guided imagery requires people to visualize things and hypnosis does not (although hypnosis can include visualization, but not necessarily so).
