Learn More about hypnosis
1. What is hypnosis, and how does it work?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and relaxation that allows you to access your unconscious mind. During a session, your conscious mind takes a step back, making it easier to shift thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in a positive way. Hypnosis is often compared to daydreaming or being deeply absorbed in a book or movie—it’s a state where change becomes easier.
2. Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No, hypnosis does not make you lose control. You remain aware and in charge the entire time. You cannot be forced to do anything against your will, and you can come out of hypnosis at any moment if you choose. You will never do anything against your values or beliefs.
In fact, hypnosis is actually much more of a cooperative process than many think! We are here to actively engage with your unconscious beliefs and experience, and this isn’t possible without the involvement of, well, YOU! Many folks think they are too strong willed for hypnosis, but honestly I feel a little bad for these people. They are missing out on a lot of opportunities for fun, healing, and change.
3. Can I be hypnotized?
Yes! Almost everyone can experience hypnosis, as long as they are open to it. Some people enter hypnosis more easily than others, but even if you’ve never been hypnotized before, a skilled hypnotist can guide you into the right state.
4. Is hypnosis the same as sleep?
No, hypnosis is not sleep. While you may feel deeply relaxed, your mind remains alert and receptive. Some people even describe it as a heightened state of awareness.
5. What can hypnosis help with?
We always say that hypnosis is great for the creation, augmentation, or removal of powerful associations, states, habits, and sensations. This can lead to a great many things, including but not limited to:
Overcoming anxiety, stress, or fears
Breaking bad habits (e.g., smoking, nail-biting)
Improving confidence and self-esteem
Enhancing focus and performance
Managing pain and discomfort (it’s better at this than you think!)
And much more!
6. What happens during a hypnosis session?
Hypnosis is a highly interpretive and interpersonal process. Our aim is to find creative and unique solutions to any sort of problem through the power of hypnosis. The more we get to know the nature of your problem, the better we can solve it together.
A typical session starts with a conversation about your goals. Then, you’ll be guided into a relaxed state where your unconscious mind is more open to positive suggestions. We use a wide array of techniques help you shift your mindset and achieve your desired change. At the end, you’ll return to full awareness feeling alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic!
7. What does hypnosis feel like?
Experiences vary, but common sensations include deep relaxation, lightness or heaviness in the body, and a sense of mental clarity. Some people feel like they are floating, while others feel deeply grounded. It’s a comfortable, enjoyable experience.
8. How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the individual and the issue being addressed. Some people experience significant change in just one session, while others benefit from multiple sessions to reinforce and solidify results. Our goal is always to deliver the best results with the most efficient use of your time.
9. Is hypnosis safe?
Yes, hypnosis is a safe and natural process. It has been used for centuries to help people improve their lives. It is recognized by organizations like the American Psychological Association as a legitimate phenomenon that yields safe and effective results.
