Will I be able to wake up?
Most definitely! As I said hypnosis is a natural state between being awake and being asleep. If you do not wake up when I tell you to you will sleep restfully and wake up on your own feeling relaxed and refreshed.
Who can be hypnotized?
Anyone who sleeps (everyone does) and can concentrate can be hypnotized. As a matter of fact the more intelligent and imaginitive a person is the easier they can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is only contraindicated in some individuals with psychological conditions and the very young. The reason for this is their lack of ability to concentrate for a period of time. Also some heart condition clients would not be good candidates to undergo regressive hypnotherapy.
What exactly is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is the state of mind between being wide awake-alert, and being in a very light sleep. Basically we are dealing with the subconscious. I use your conscious desires to change your subconscious actions. Thus making your conscious desires reality.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Hypnosis is a very relaxed feeling. In most instances you know what is going on around you, unless you are really deep. It feels like you are just ready to fall asleep. That feeling of shutting down and going out at night.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes. Going into hypnosis is as safe as getting into your own bed and falling asleep at night. Suggestive (change) therapy is safe for practically everyone. There are those with some psychological conditions that hypnosis is contraindicated. Also some heart condition patients are not good candidates for regression therapy only. However, they can handle suggestive therapy just fine. I will take a brief history and will tell you right away if you are or are not a good candidate for Hypnotherapy. Most probably you are a great subject to under go hypnosis."
Can you make my husband/wife quit smoking?
No. The person who wants to make a change must have the desire and be willing to change; and being willing to under go hypnosis. You nor I cannot make someone do something they do not want to do."
Will I do or say anything weird?
No. You will not reveal any secrets, nor do anything that would be against your morals or religious beliefs.
What is the hypnosis process?
First- There is the client interview at which time we will go over your history. I will administer several evaluations to help determine what techniques will work specifically for you. We go over your new goals and come up with suggestions and ideas that will help change your behavior, or get you the information you are seeking. Second- I will do what is called an "Induction." You will become very relaxed. Third- Deepening techniques are used to make you more relaxed than you have ever been. Fourth- The suggestions we come up with are given. Fifth- I wake you up.
Lastly we have a post-hypnotic interview . I will make sure you are wide awake, alert, and you are on your way.
How many times do I have to do this?
This of course depends on you. Although a few people will only have one or two sessions, to be most effective a program normally consists of four to six sessions, it depends on how deep seated the persons problem is, and whether they really want to deal with the issues that come to light. The last session is usually thirty to sixty days from the initial visit depending on the frequency of the sessions. This is the final wrap up to make sure you are happy with your change(s). This is the usual format of course some individuals and programs are different. Such as for weight loss this is a six week program, one visit every other week. People of course did not become the way they are over night. Some habits take longer to change even at the subconscious level.
