Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnosis and ‘being hypnotized’ is often described as the state of being somewhere between sleep and awake. This hypnotic trance is similar to being ‘very relaxed’ or in a ‘daydream’ state. The experience of Hypnotherapy varies greatly between individuals, but the following things are usually true:

You’ll feel relaxed and at ease, and probably a little sleepy
You’ll be aware of what’s going on
You will be in control, so you can wake up whenever you want
You will wake up if something unexpected happens
It DOES work!

2. I don’t think I can be hypnotized – Is Hypnosis real?

Hypnosis is real. Almost everyone can be hypnotized or go into a hypnotic state to some extent. It does depend to on what methods would be needed. We can work with both hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (which can get similar results to hypnotism without having to take you into a ‘trance’). Being deeply hypnotized is usually not required for most therapeutic work. Clients also often ask ‘Does Hypnosis work?’ Even if you are not naturally inclined towards hypnotherapy and hypnotic trances, with a good hypnotherapist to help you, the ability can often comes in time and Hypnosis does work. Occasional individuals don’t experience hypnosis because they are ‘refractory’ which means they respond better to ‘not’ commands, than direct instructions.

3. Will I remember what happened?

It is possible, but quite rare. Most people remember what happened, although sometimes clients can forget the exact details. It is highly unlikely that you would suffer total amnesia, even if instructed to under trance, as hypnotism cannot force you into actions that you would naturally find uncomfortable, and amnesia takes a deeper level of trance usually associated with people who are sonambulists (individuals who go into a deep hypnotic trance very easily and deeply.) Even a sonambulist will usually only experience amnesia if they want to.
