Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind experienced by everyone at least twice a day. When we first wake up in the morning but are not fully awake and at night when we start to drift off to sleep, we're in a light trance.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and the hypnotherapist is just the guide. The power is in the mind of the person being hypnotized.

What does Hypnosis feel like?
In hypnosis a person may feel the same as when they are relaxing by the fireplace or in a comfortable chair reading a good book. One may feel very calm, euphoric, focused and well-rested. A few moments of hypnosis can feel like several hours of sleep.
How does Hypnosis work?

Hypnosis works when a person is ready for change.
As the body becomes relaxed and comfortable, the critical mind and judgment are moved aside. The subconscious mind absorbs new information like a four-year-old and is now able to open up and accept positive suggestions to achieve the desired results.

Will I lose control and do things I don't want to do?
You are always in complete control and will accept only the suggestions that are right for you. No one can control you except you.
How many sessions do I need?
Four to ten sessions are average. Some people can accomplish their goal in a single session. Everyone is different.
Can everyone be Hypnotized?
Anyone of average or above-average intelligence who wants to be hypnotized can be.
Does Hypnosis work well with traditional medicine and therapy?
Many doctors, dentists, psychiatrists, psychologists and chiropractors recommend working with a hypnotherapist.
How does Hypnosis give me the benefits I want?
Positive suggestions are easily accepted by the subconscious mind in hypnosis. Because the subconscious is so powerful, changes in behavior will readily occur.
