Frequently Asked Questions
Hypnosis is
possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have
given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today, the use of
hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law
enforcement, professional sports, and education.
Most people
are unaware of the positive results and the benefit from hypnosis that can be achieved in a
professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to dispel some of the
myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.
How does hypnosis work?
Our minds work on two levels - the conscious
and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind.
The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as
hypnosis, I can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it
is so quick and easy to change bad habits of a lifetime and to benefit from hypnosis.
Will hypnosis work for me?
Generally speaking, every normal person is
"hypnotisable". That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental
disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using
hypnosis.
How will I know if I am hypnotised?
Most people cannot tell the difference between
hypnotised and the waking states. some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others
feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in
their daily behaviours.
Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and
in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis
is not sleep, nor can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made
to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable
experience.
Why is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis has the lowest cost insurance premium
of all therapies because it is 100% medically safe (BMA/AMA 1950s).
How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit?
Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled
by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the
unconscious, this is the only method that makes sense! By using
hypnosis to quit smoking I can help you
effortlessly transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker.
How many sessions will the treatment take?
Problems such as smoking and
phobias can often be released in as little as one session, however this depends
on individual case history and any underlying emotional or habitual patterns.
Emotional problems, confidence
building, weight control, anxiety and panic attacks normally require a
commitment of 3 to 5 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks to permanently release and
consolidate the change you experience.
