What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of physical relaxation where the subconscious part of the mind becomes extremely active and receptive to suggestions. All hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis. A hypnotist is simply a guide who helps you reach the hypnotic state. Hypnosis is a way of communicating directly with the subconscious mind to enhance our innate abilities.

Who can be hypnotized?

Anyone with normal intelligence can be hypnotized. However, you must be a willing participant as you cannot be hypnotized against your will. Individuals with a strong desire to change will achieve excellent results.

How will I feel while hypnotized?

You are not asleep or in any type of "trance". The feeling is similar to that of meditation or daydreaming. You are aware of all that goes on around you. You will hear everything and afterwards, you will recall everything that took place. You cannot be "told" to forget anything either. This is a very relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Can I be made to do anything against my will?

Absolutely not! You are aware of all suggestions and you cannot be "made" to do anything against your own personal moral code. There is no surrender of mind, will or control.

Will I be able to come out of it?

Yes. It is impossible to remain hypnotized, even if the hypnotist were to leave you unattended. You would simply rest for a few minutes and then bring yourself out easily.

What happens during a session?

During the first session we will discuss the issues surrounding your visit. Together we will create a strategy for addressing these areas of concern. Following this planning, you will be taught the EFT "tapping" techniques and Basic Recipe and then gently guided into a state of hypnosis where you will be given beneficial suggestions that will enable you to resolve your issues as discussed. Ultimately, you will be led back into the fully conscious state where you will feel relaxed and fully aware of all that transpired. The first session will last about 90 minutes.

Follow-up sessions start with a review of your progress followed by EFT and hypnosis where additional suggestions will be given to reinforce the initial session. These sessions normally last 45 to 60 minutes.
