About Hypnosis and Frequently Asked Questions

Everything to Gain - Nothing to Fear

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today hypnosis is used in a variety of fields, including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports and education.

Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved by a professionally controlled hypnotherapy session. So here I would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions.

How does hypnosis work? Our minds work on two levels - the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In that relaxed state called hypnosis we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it can be so easy to change the habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Will hypnosis work for me? Generally speaking every person is 'hypnotisable'. That is people with a normal level of intelligence and no severe mental disorders. Therefore virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

How will I know I am hypnotised? Most people cannot tell the difference between hypnotised and waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic; others may feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviours.

Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and you can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get 'stuck' in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do anything against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing and enjoyable experience.

How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit? Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious mind, this makes it the only method that really makes sense! I can help your effortless transition into the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker - and it only takes one hour to quit!
