Frequently Asked Questions

Say the word "hypnosis," and many people immediately think of stage shows and of people doing unusual things. Other people think of pocket watches, or spirals twirling.  But it is now much more common for hypnotherapists simply speak soothing words about relaxation and suggestions to focus and concentrate. 

Whenever the subject of hypnosis is brought up, questions seem to arise with it. The following questions are asked repeatedly, by clients, of prospective clients, and of those who are simply curious. With answers to these questions, fears are put to rest, myths dispelled, and more people are able to allow themselves to experience the wonderful benefits of hypnosis to enhance their lives.

Yes, it's real.  Exactly how it works is still under investigation. Over the past few years, researchers have found that when someone is hypnotized, they actively respond to suggestions, even though they sometimes might perceive the dramatic changes in thought and behaviour they experience as happening "by themselves." 

During hypnosis, it is as if the brain temporarily suspends its efforts to validate incoming sensory information, allowing new behaviours and thoughts to occur. And, some people are more hypnotizable than others, although scientists still don't know why.

Relaxation and deep focus are something we’ve all experienced before so in knowing this, the hypnotic trance is a natural state of being.

Hypnotherapy takes us to the subconscious mind where we have all these beliefs that are preventing us from acting the way we want to act; it reduces or takes away the toxicity from those belief systems so we shift our beliefs and actually act in the way we want to act

Hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep but one of altered consciousness. There is a feeling of well-being, an ability to recall past events and the acceptance of new ideas that are not in conflict with personal values.  There is also a higher threshold to pain. The hypnotic state is like meditation, where the body is relaxed but the mind has heightened awareness.  The ability to speak is limited, and the limbs feel leaden or light, tingly or somewhat numb. The perception of time is also distorted where an hour might seem like just a few minutes. 

Most people can be hypnotised, and different people go into hypnosis in different ways as we previously mentioned. Part of the Hypnotherapist's job is to identify what approach will work best for which subject. Those who have trouble trusting the hypnotherapist or the process, may take more time to go into a hypnotic state, and may not enjoy as many benefits.
