FAQ's
What is hypnosis?
No
one can precisely define hypnosis. Hypnosis is a definition of a state of
mind in which
something can be done. Hypnosis itself neither cures nor
changes anything. It is a learning
process and a method of
concentration that most of us have. It can be a vehicle of change
if
suggestions are given to assist an individual in altering or changing
their basic habits of living.
Will I be awake and remember my
experience?
Yes; you will be fully conscious at all times and
will remember exactly what happened; never
will you be unconscious or
asleep. Most people find the whole experience pleasant, relaxing,
and
enjoyable.
Can everyone achieve a state of
hypnosis?
Almost everyone who wants to be hypnotized can
achieve some depth level of hypnosis.
There are exceptions but once a
person realizes they are not controlled by the hypnotist,
but rather
guided by him, most people will willingly participate. It can be suggested
to you,
for example to think of the feeling in your right foot but
nobody can make you do that. So
the reality is that you are the real
worker and the hypnotist is just the guide.
Can I ask questions about
hypnosis before the actual experience?
Certainly. We will give
you complete information on hypnosis as it pertains to your
problem,
and tell you what kinds of things you can anticipate. Some of
those common questions are
listed here and you can ask any further
questions you like. We would like every client to enter
into the
experience with a full understanding of it.
If I’m nervous, what can I
do to prepare for the session?
Nothing. Most people are a
little nervous over just about any kind of new experience, and
hypnosis
is no exception to this ordinary rule. Just come with a willingness to
participate
and after the education any fears you had will have been
put to rest. Afterwards, you will feel
perfectly normal and probably
refreshed a little. You will be able to drive, talk, and react to
all
the things around you in your own customary way.
Can hypnosis be
guaranteed?
Regretfully, no and you should not believe
anyone who states otherwise. Your own desire and
commitment to fulfill
the suggestions remains the most important element in your success.
Can I bring someone with me to
the session?
You may bring someone to wait for you but we urge
you to go the hypnosis alone.
Hypnosis requires an ability to focus
ones concentration, so any additional people in
the room could
adversely affect your capability to do this.
