Nothing to Fear, Everything to Gain - Frequently Asked Questions

People often have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. The old misconceptions have given way to proven, scientifically sound uses, and today, hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields, including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports and education.

I would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How does hypnosis work?

Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious.

We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it can be so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Will hypnosis work for me?

Generally speaking, every person is “hypnotisable”; that is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

How will I know if I am hypnotised?

Most people cannot tell the difference between the feeling of hypnosis and their everyday waking state. In a professionally conducted hypnosis session, you can expect to feel comfortable and relaxed. Some people feel heavy or lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis is completely safe:

• You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time.
• Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get “stuck” in a state of hypnosis.
• You cannot be made to do something against your will!
• Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.

How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit?

Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the method of habit breaking that most makes most sense! I can help ease your transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker - it only takes one hour to quit.
