Will I lose control?
Two things to remember here. First, your conscious mind is always present in hypnosis and you could choose to come out of a trance (relaxed state) anytime you like. Secondly, your subconscious mind will never act upon suggestions that would violate your ethical and moral codes.
Can hypnosis make me tell secrets?
It won’t happen unless you choose to reveal them. Once again, in a hypnotic state, your subconscious mind will protect your secrets unless you choose to tell them.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Remember, hypnosis is a natural state of mind, and natural states of mind are not dangerous. Of course, when you practice self-hypnosis or listen to a hypnosis CD, don’t do so while you’re driving a car or taking a bath or operating machinery. Always use common sense.
Can hypnosis make me do something against my will?
Absolutely not. First off, you are conscious during hypnosis and could stop a session anytime you wanted to stop. And again, your subconscious mind is very protective of you and would not accept any suggestions that would be harmful to you in any way. Your subconscious mind would not accept suggestions that would violate your moral or ethical codes. If you have ever seen a stage hypnotist, you know that they appear to make people do strange things while hypnotized but the truth is that these people are doing these things in a congruent manner, i.e. there is desire within them to be performers. You might also observe that the stage hypnotist only changes the person's situation, not the person. For example , most people would not cluck like a chicken because who really knows what a chicken is thinking? But that bug that flew up their nose feels real enough!
What if I don't wake up?
Won’t happen. You are in a perfectly natural state of mind and conscious the whole time. Even if you were to drift off to sleep, you would simply wake up just like you would from a nap.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
YOU already have been hypnotized, whether you know it or not. Have you ever been so engrossed in a movie that you became less aware of your actual surroundings? Ever been driving down a highway and began to daydream or perhaps missed that turn because you were thinking of something else? These are only a few examples of hypnosis and demonstrate very nicely how natural a state it is.
How many sessions would I require?
Each person has different requirements and therefore require a different amount of sessions. Generally, providing I believe I can help you help yourself, I set up 3 sessions. Session one would consist of a general outline of the way sessions are conducted, some 'thought provoking' questions and Hypnosis ground work. Session two - review of what was learned in session one, a brief on the intended techniques to be used in this session, and the actual Hypnotherapy. Session three - follow up and further course of action (if necessary).
Is Hypnotherapy a suitable replacement for psychiatric or medical treatment?
Hypnosis is NOT a replacement for psychiatric or medical treatment. Hypnosis is a very good complimentary service and has been known to produce excellent results in a very short period of time.
