Hypnotherapy

 

Hypnotherapy is a safe, evidence-based therapeutic technique that uses guided relaxation, focused attention, and deep concentration to achieve a heightened state of awareness—often referred to as a "trance." In this state, a person may be more open to positive suggestions, insights, and behavior change. It is not sleep or loss of control but a collaborative process between the client and therapist.

 

Hypnotherapy is often used to support mental health treatment for issues such as:

• Anxiety and stress

• Trauma and PTSD

• Confidence, self-esteem, and performance issues

• Negative core beliefs

 

 Frequently Asked Questions

​

 1. Will I lose control during hypnosis?

No. You remain fully in control during hypnotherapy. You are awake, aware, and can choose to come out of the hypnotic state at any time. Hypnotherapy is not the same as stage hypnosis and is never about control—it's about empowerment.

​

2. Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is completely safe when practiced by a trained, licensed mental health professional. It is a non-invasive and drug-free treatment that works alongside other therapeutic approaches.

​

3. What does hypnosis feel like?

Most people describe it as a deeply relaxed and calm state—similar to daydreaming or becoming completely absorbed in a good book or movie. You may feel more focused and aware of your inner thoughts.

​

4. How many sessions will I need?

This varies depending on your specific goals and concerns. Some people notice improvement after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing work. Your therapist will tailor the approach to your individual needs.

 

5. Can everyone be hypnotized?

Most people can enter a light to moderate hypnotic state if they are willing and open to the process. Hypnosis is a natural state, and the more you practice it, the easier it becomes.

​

6. Will I remember everything afterward?

Yes, typically you will remember everything discussed during your session. Some details may fade like a dream, but you’ll be aware of what occurred.

​

7. What conditions is hypnotherapy not suitable for?

Hypnotherapy is not recommended for individuals with certain psychiatric conditions such as psychosis.  Your therapist will assess whether hypnotherapy is right for you.

 

​6.  What to Expect in Your First Session

During your initial session, your therapist will:

• Discuss your goals and concerns

• Explain how hypnotherapy works

• Address any questions or concerns you may have

• Guide you into a light state of hypnosis if you're comfortable

Each session is conducted in a calm, private, and supportive setting. The goal is to help you feel safe, relaxed, and empowered.
