FAQ'S

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that we all experience at various times throughout the day. The experience of hypnosis has been described in many ways but is often explained as a deep state of focused attention. Many people describe hypnosis as feeling similar to daydreaming, when they are neither fully alert, nor asleep. Everyone’s experiences and therefore descriptions of hypnosis will vary because all hypnotic states feel different to different people. Hypnosis is usually associated with a pleasant feeling of deep relaxation and this can be part of the therapy, however not all hypnosis nor Hypnotherapy involves relaxation in the traditional sense.

 

Will I lose control of myself?

​In short, no. During hypnosis you will continue to remain in complete control and aware of your surroundings whilst feeling deeply relaxed. You have the ability to emerge from hypnosis at any time if you so wish. Hypnosis is a very empowering process because you are in control and any changes come from yourself, the hypnotherapist could be described as a guide taking you on a journey but they are only the facilitator because any changes can only be made by you and this in itself is very empowering.

The more familiar you become with hypnosis the easier it is to relax into the process, secure in the knowledge that you remain in control and can end a session of hypnosis at any point should you wish to. As most people find hypnosis deeply relaxing and a very pleasant experience, they rarely choose to do this, but they are aware that they could if they so choose.

What will happen in the session?

The therapist will initially speak with you over the telephone and ask for some basic personal details, the therapist will want to know what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to see or feel at the end of your sessions. They will explain what hypnotherapy is, their method of working and what you can expect from the sessions. After this initial telephone consultation the therapist will arrange an appointment for you where, if appropriate you may begin with some talking therapy before being guided into hypnosis using the method which they believe is most appropriate for you. After a session you may feel uplifted, lighter and most likely, very relaxed. As your hypnotherapist will be working with your subconscious mind, change is often very subtle, so you may just notice a very positive shift in how you are feeling.
