Question 1

What is hypnosis?

Accepted Answer

Hypnosis is NOT sleep, more a deep state of relaxation with a high level of focus.   Your brain waves start to slow down and you become more acutely in touch with your inner world: emotions, thoughts and memories.   There are varying levels of hypnosis and you may be aware or you may not.  The deeper you go, the greater the lack of conscious awareness and the faster the positive changes.  And however deep you go, you are always in control

Question 2

Is hypnosis similar to meditation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your brain goes into the same state but different to meditation, hypnosis can take you there the very first time.  This is due to the embedded therapeutic techniques that help you work with your brain.  In hypnosis, unlike meditation, there is no need to quiet the conscious mind.  The conscious mind can chatter and this has no negative impact; you can still take on the positive effects of the hypnosis session you are in

Question 3

What is hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

It goes far beyond treating insomnia and smoking and can be used for any and all areas of your life where you find you lack self-belief or feel yourself trying to use willpower to break a habit, or keep having recurring events and emotions continually surface

Question 4

How can I know it will work for me?

Accepted Answer

Just about everyone can be hypnotized with the exception of people with some extreme conditions such as psychosis and psychopathy.  Some types of medication can also interferer.  In my experience, medication for depression can interfere with results

Question 5

Does hypnosis weaken the will?

Accepted Answer

No, hypnosis actually helps you increase your will by aligning your subconscious with what your conscious mind already wants.  Hypnosis works with the will, not against it, and you will only accept messages you are ready to believe and which are in your own health's interests

Question 6

Will I lose control?

Accepted Answer

No, absolutely not.  At every step, you will be in control, since successful hypnotic trances require your cooperation and decision to take on the positive messages to achieve the results that you desire.  You can only take on beliefs that fit with your own morals and values

Question 7

Can I get "stuck" in hypnosis?"

Accepted Answer

No, never, and this has never happened.  Even if a session is interrupted there are only two possibilities: you will fall asleep and wake later on, or you will wake immediately.  If at any time there are urgent sounds and signs in your surroundings, your mind will alert you and you will come out of hypnosis.  Your mind is smart and it is ALWAYS looking out for you at all time!

Question 8

Are there any side effects?

Accepted Answer

No side effects.  The great thing about self-hypnosis  and guided meditation is that there is no medication or supplements at all.  You are simply tapping into the resources you always had but never knew lay inside of you!!

Question 9

Do you guarantee my issue will be resolved with hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

No, unfortunately not, the reasons being primarily that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.  Simply put, I provide the tools but this is very much teamwork and you must decide to utilize them   Other reasons why I cannot guarantee results include but are not limited to: there may have subconscious resistance to change. These are known in hypnotherapy as "secondary gains"; ​each client will only break the negative associations and create positive habits, beliefs and behaviour once they are truly ready and willing to do so; you may have a medical condition or be on medication which interferes with hypnosis, particularly for issues related to weight, anxiety and depression. In all cases, it is recommended to seek medical advice before undertaking this program.  For any suspected or confirmed physical or mental condition you must always check with a physician first.

Question 10

Will hypnotherapy change my personality?

Accepted Answer

You will still be yourself.  However, some people achieve such positive changes and others around you may indeed notice a positive difference.  For example, you may feel increased confidence along with health changes and ideal weight attainment.  This is simply because you have let go of unhelpful habits and self-limiting beliefs which are not part of the true you.
