Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnosis?
It's a natural state of focused attention, something we all experience every day. You’re not asleep but rather deeply relaxed, allowing the conscious and subconscious minds to come together.
Can I have hypnotherapy alongside other therapies /medication?
​Yes, hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and can greatly support your healing alongside other treatments, enhancing the benefits of any medications you may be taking. I simply request that if you’re also engaged in talk therapy, you schedule hypnotherapy sessions a couple of days afterward rather than before. This helps ensure our progress isn’t disrupted by immediately revisiting past experiences or traumas after a hypnotherapy session.
How long does it take to see progress?
The experience varies from person to person. For deep-rooted trauma, such as PTSD, it may take around a month to start noticing changes, often requiring 12 or more weekly sessions. For general anxiety, progress may be noticeable after just a couple of sessions, with about 6 sessions being typical. The outcome also depends on the level of commitment and effort the client puts in between sessions.
Can you make me do things I don't want to do?
No, you are always in control. Hypnosis cannot make you do anything against your will, and you can exit the trance state whenever you choose.
What if I fall asleep?
Trance can vary in depth, and some people go deeper than others. However, it’s rarely actual sleep, as sessions aren't long enough to reach that level. Your subconscious mind remains attentive, so hypnotherapy is effective regardless of the depth. At the end of the session, I'll guide you back easily and smoothly.
Take this time to relax and enjoy a moment just for yourself.
