MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HYPNOSIS AND HYPNOTHERAPY

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a powerful state of focused awareness that can be used to uncover and dissolve the root cause of many issues people suffer from every day. Hypnosis allows you to access all the healing resources inherent within the subconscious mind, promoting natural healing from within. Hypnosis is used to help people discover the subconscious reasons for their symptoms, behaviors, or habits. When they are discovered, certain tools and techniques are used to help release them and relearn a new positive way of thinking subconsciously. This is called hypnotherapy. Hypnosis has been sanctioned and used by the medical community since 1958 to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal psychogenic illnesses.

How Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis works by achieving a level of focused awareness while at the same time bypassing the Critical Faculty - the analytical aspect of the mind. Another way to describe the critical faculty is that it is a comparing mechanism. When new information is introduced to the mind, the comparing mechanism compares the new information to what it already believes is either true or false. This is a protective aspect of our mind. This is why changing habits by willpower alone is so difficult – we often already believe we cannot change, so thinking about making the change happen (using willpower alone) is ineffective. Hypnosis is powerful because with focused awareness, the analytical aspect of the mind is bypassed, and new, healthy, and beneficial suggestions can be made directly into the subconscious, without the comparing mechanism rejecting these new beliefs. So, the change we want to achieve in our life is accepted by the subconscious mind as true, and we see results quickly.

Can I Be Hypnotized?

Yes of course! You’ve already been hypnotized anytime you’ve watched an enjoyable movie, or read a good book. Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of mind that everyone has already experienced. Actually, it’s such a normal state of mind that most people don’t realize they are hypnotized.

Is Hypnosis Safe?

Hypnosis is safe – it’s a perfectly normal and common state of mind we go into naturally every day. You enter hypnosis regularly when daydreaming, watching a good movie, or reading a book. During these activities you remain consciously aware and in complete control, just as you do when a professional hypnotherapist assists you into entering a state of hypnosis.

Is Hypnotherapy Expensive / Do You Take Insurance

I do not accept insurance since as a hypnotist, I am not providing any medical services and I do not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. As a result, that can make the out of pocket investment in using hypnotherapy to make the changes you are looking for appear more expensive. That said - hypnotherapy is an investment.

What I believe

There are no such things as problems, only situations.
For Example: If you are a stop smoking specialist, what do you believe about smoking that will help your audience understand that THEY can quit too?
What do you believe about human potential?
What is a common misconception about your specific niche / industry you want to debunk?
What do you think is the ONE belief that, once your client learns themselves, that will change everything for them in their life?
