Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Hypnosis?
During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state, while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion. The U.S. Government Defines Hypnosis As Having two parts: (1) The bypass of the critical factors (2) The establishment of acceptable selective thinking.
Can Any Person Be Hypnotized?
Absolutely everyone! There is not a person that cannot be hypnotized. If they are willing and do not resist, anyone who wants or needs hypnosis can be hypnotized. (Unless there is some form of organic brain damage.)
I’m Very Intelligent Can I Be Hypnotized?
Yes, People with a wide range of intellectual giftedness or limitations can be hypnotized
What Does Hypnosis Feel Like?
Hypnosis is a very relaxing and comfortable experience. It feels similar to the feeling you have just prior to sleep, you are aware of things like sounds, light, even people around you but you are so relaxed you don’t want to move because you don’t want to let anything disturb your relaxation.
Is Hypnosis Dangerous?
There has never been a documented case of harm coming to anyone from the therapeutic use of hypnotism.
Can A Person Be Stuck In Hypnosis?
Never! If you are thinking what if I was to be hypnotized and something were to happen to the hypnotist and I were left alone, still hypnotized? What would happen? Simple! You would just snap right out of hypnosis whenever you were ready. When you are in a state of hypnosis, anything alarming or of importance would pop you right out of this state. There is absolutely no danger to you in a state of hypnosis.
Can I Be Controlled By The Hypnotist?
Certainly not! Hypnosis is always a "consent" state and you have complete control of the situation at all times. It only appears that way in "Stage Hypnosis", where the hypnotist asks for" volunteers" and picks people out of the crowd that most likely would have been the class clowns in high school. Also keep in mind that people don’t just jump right up to volunteer for something unless they have seen, done or have some idea of the "expected" outcome.
Can A Person Be Hypnotized Against Their Will?
No, no one can be hypnotized against his or her will. Hypnosis is always a "consent", The Hypnotist merely guides the subject, into hypnosis. Does Hypnosis Weaken The Will? Hypnosis works with the will, not against it.
Will I blurt Out Any "Secrets"? Certainly not!
Hypnosis is not a lie detector or a "truth serum” You will not say anything you do not want to say.
Will I Do Anything I Should Not Do?
No. You will not do anything in hypnosis that you would not do out of hypnosis.
Will I Be Sound Asleep?
No. You will be completely awake. Should you relax so well that you drift off to sleep, the hypnotist may choose to guide you back into the hypnotic state.
When Will I Start To See Results?
Results are usually evident the very first day. Additional benefits may continue to appear for several weeks.
How Can It Work So Quickly?
Using Hypnosis we go straight to the root cause and resolve the issue. We use methods that are based on how the mind works, not on myths.
Is Hypnotherapy Expensive?
Hypnotherapy is considered to be a “Brief Therapy” which means that, depending on the nature of the specific problem, only a few sessions may be needed to be effective to have a lasting effect.
