FAQs

Is Hypnosis really safe?
Yes, hypnosis is a proven therapeutic aid. Hypnosis is not sleep. Hypnosis is a guided relaxing state of heightened awareness which means you are fully aware at all times.

Can I get “stuck” in Hypnosis?
No. You will return to full awareness just as spontaneously as when you go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning.

Shall I be aware of what’s happening?
Yes, you are in full control at all times. All hypnosis is self hypnosis so at no time is control ever handed over to the therapist. The predominant feeling of most people is “It didn’t work for me – I never went under.”

Will I know if I’m Hypnotised?
There is no real feeling that you can call a “hypnotised feeling”. Many people cannot tell the difference between the waking state and the hypnotic state. Some people say “I didn’t feel anything”, but the positive results speak for themselves.

So I am not asleep then?
No. You are simply extremely relaxed. This is why the technique is sometimes referred to as “Conscious Hypnosis”

Are there people who cannot be Hypnotised?
No. (Except the mentally handicapped, and those who choose not to be hypnotised.) Entering the state of hypnosis is something you choose to do and as nobody can force you to fall asleep nobody can force you to fall into hypnosis.

Could I be influenced to do anything against my will or nature?
No. In fact, you would spontaneously come out of the hypnotic state the instant any such action was suggested to you.

Can “normal” people undergo Hypno-Psychotherapy and Psycho-Analysis?
Of course! For an insight into yourself, it has no equal!

How many appointments will I need?
Suggestion Therapy usually requires about 3 sessions. The more deep-rooted nervous disorders require “Analytical” rather than “Suggestion” Therapy which usually consists of 8-12 weekly sessions.
