Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Will I remember everything afterwards?
That depends on how deep in trance you are, but generally most people do remember either everything or certain parts of the experience.
You will find that suggestions, which have been given to you in Hypnosis, will resurface in your conscious, thinking mind after your Hypnosis and these will be the thoughts that produce changes in your behaviour or way of thinking and feeling.
Will I give away any secrets while I am Hypnotised?
NO – you won’t say or do anything at all that you don’t want to. If you were given suggestions that you don’t morally agree with you would come out of Hypnosis.
How do I know I will wake up from Hypnosis?
No one has ever remained in Hypnosis indefinitely. Even if something were to happen to the Hypnotherapist halfway through the session, you would still “come out” of the Trance State once the rapport had been broken.
Is Hypnosis dangerous?
NO – Hypnosis is a perfectly natural tool, which is used to harness the inner power of your subconscious mind.
Therapeutic Hypnosis cannot make you do something against your will or your own moral code.
When I am “under” will I fall asleep?
NO – you will be aware of everything that is happening and being said the whole time, however you will be so deeply relaxed that you may find yourself drifting into different levels of awareness.
Remember, your subconscious mind in active throughout and it is this that your therapist is working with.
Are there any side effects from Hypnosis?
The only side effects are the beneficial ones of feeling more relaxed afterwards and feeling more positive about whatever it was you sought Hypnotherapy for.
Hypnosis is a perfectly natural state.
How does it feel to be Hypnotised?
Everyone is different. Some people say that their body feels like lead weight and others say they feel as though they’re floating away. Most people will agree that it is a lovely feeling because they’re more relaxed than they have ever been before.
Can I be Hypnotised against my will?
NO - anyone can resist and it won’t work. Hypnosis is co-operation between two people – Therapist and client.
