FAQS

1. What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation, an altered state during which suggestions are made to create beneficial changes in ideas or behavior.

​​

The subconscious mind controls the involuntary functions of the body, including habits and things that we do ‘automatically’ - it is fueled by our emotions and imagination and directs the energy from within.  The subconscious mind also contains memories of every single thing that has occurred to us.

In hypnosis the mind is very receptive to new ideas and open to suggestions which encourage more sensible, balanced or helpful attitudes to reality.

In the clinical setting, symptoms associated with stress or anxiety can be helped; in such cases it is not a substitute for medical treatment, but a very useful supplement to it.  Mind and body affect each other and the person as a whole in benefited by this holistic approach.

For some conditions, regression techniques can be used.  This may mean re-examining (without necessarily re-experiencing) events which influenced us at an earlier time in life.  By bringing these memories to the surface the subconscious mind is able to discharge the negative effects and can be ‘reprogrammed’ for success.

The number of sessions required usually varies from person to person, however most people feel some benefit from hypnotherapy immediately

2. What is Hypnotic Programming?

​

In a nut shell, Hypnotic Programming is a form of Hypnosis used to aid your Subconscious mind into integrating the suggestions we provide it. We focus more on the end result versus the "how' and the "why". A Hypnotic Programming session can take up to an hour depending on your goals and suggestibility.

 

3. What is Hypno-Coaching?

 

In Hypno-Coaching, we use Hypnosis (usually in the form of a session or audio) to reach the subconscious mind as well as a form of Coaching to help you to reach your goal. Think of it as Life Coaching on Steroids. We can leverage the full aspect of your mind both consciously and unconsciously to get you to your full potential.

 

4. Can anyone be Hypnotized?

Most people can, providing they are able to understand the things they have to do in order to achieve this state.
