FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis allows clients to focus intently on a specific problem and its resolution, while maintaining a comfortable state of physical relaxation.

Our minds include the conscious and the subconscious. We like to think our conscious mind is in control as we live our lives, but the reality is that the subconscious mind determines most of what we do, including our habits. When you are in hypnosis, there is more powerful and effective communication with the subconscious mind.

Hypnosis refers to a trance state that is characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation, and heightened imagination.

Hypnosis is a normal state of aroused, attentive, and highly-focused concentration—comparable to being so absorbed in a movie or novel that one loses awareness of his or her surroundings.

And neuroscience is now showing it has a noticeable effect on the brain.

IS HYPNOSIS SAFE?

Hypnosis is totally safe. No one can make you do anything against your will. Hypnosis is a relaxing, enjoyable and safe experience. It is impossible to get stuck in hypnosis. People sometimes like to stay in the relaxed, enjoyable state because it feels so good, but you certainly won't get stuck or do anything against your will.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I'M HYPNOTIZABLE?

In your free screening we will quickly determine if you are hypnotizable. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we drift in and out of in everyday life. One example is getting so into a movie that you don’t notice that someone is calling for you. Or lying in bed in the morning in that state between waking and sleeping where you just drift. When most people are hypnotized, they feel very relaxed.

SHOULD PARTICIPANTS BE CHOSEN IN ADVANCE?

WILL I BE MADE TO DO STRANGE THINGS OR ANYTHING I DON'T WANT TO DO?

In a word: NO. This is not stage hypnosis done for entertainment purposes. If you were deeply relaxed and I told you to rob a bank or bark like a dog, would you? Thought not. Hypnosis cannot make you do anything you don't want to do. You will be focused on what you DO want to do. In fact, the best hypnotic subjects are people of above average intelligence who are capable concentrating as well as those with active, vivid imaginations.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

During your free screening we can determine how many sessions you need depending on why you're here and what you specifically want to achieve.
