What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, a state through which everybody passes on a normal day when they are focused on one thing whilst relaxed at the same time – reading, daydreaming, driving (ever driven home and not remembered the journey?)
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the process of facilitating change whilst a person is in a state of hypnosis. In this state a person is extremely susceptible to suggestion, which can significantly impact their behaviour to achieve an end goal.
Is a person who is hypnotised ‘out of it’?
Not at all. Unfortunately stage hypnosis has given the state a bad reputation. ALL hypnosis is self-hypnosis and is a state a person allows themself to enter willingly (you cannot be forced to relax). This means that it is impossible to ‘get stuck’ in hypnosis, a person could choose to wake themselves at any point, or at worst – fall asleep.
Can everyone benefit from hypnotherapy?
Yes, but only if the desire for change is present. Because this is a self-controlled process, if a person does not really want to change their behaviour pattern, any suggestion to do just that will be immediately rejected.
What does hypnosis feel like?
There is actually no defined sensation for hypnosis. It is a deeply relaxed state, so that is what most people will actually feel. Some may feel tingling, a heaviness or lightness, or even as though they have had a doze. Almost everybody will feel very refreshed and alert after a session.
How long is a session?
A session lasts between 1 and 1 ½ hours. The number of sessions required depends on what the client is hoping to achieve.
Does hypnosis conflict with religious beliefs?
No, because it is a normal state everybody experiences when they are relaxed.
