FAQ’s

What is hypnosis / trance?

Trance is a natural state that we all go in and out of many times a day, when we are driving a regular route, even when we are watching TV. Trance is when the conscious and the subconscious mind come together in focus and you can access your vast intellectual resources and get the very best out of yourself. Hypnosis is an inwardly focused state, some think of it a bit like daydreaming. It is not sleep.

How will hypnosis feel?

Everybody’s experience of hypnosis is different. You may hear every word I say or you may find your mind wondering or you may drift off entirely. You do not have to be relaxed to be in hypnosis, but most people describe being very relaxed during and after the sessions.

Is hypnosis mind control?

All hypnosis is self hypnosis. You cannot be made to do anything that you do not want to do. This is why your desire to make a change and commit to the process is so important in order for our sessions to be successful. Hypnosis is a collaborative process between the therapist and the client, and the client remains in control at all times.

How effective is it? Does it work?

As with everything, the more you put in, the more you will get out of it. Your belief in hypnotherapy is not important but your desire to change will affect your outcome.
