Common Questions About Hypnosis

Misconceptions about hypnotherapy abound in popular media. Here, I address some frequently asked questions regarding hypnosis.

Can anyone undergo hypnosis?

Yes, most individuals can, provided they are willing to follow my instructions and are open to the changes they seek.

Can hypnosis make me say or do things against my will?

No, in hypnosis, you retain the freedom to accept or reject any suggestions I offer.

Are hypnotherapy results guaranteed?

No, success in hypnosis relies on both your commitment as the client and my skills as the hypnotist. Your motivation plays a crucial role, and I'll ask you to honestly rate it on a scale of 1 to 10.

Will I be unaware of my surroundings during hypnosis?

Not at all! You will remain aware of your surroundings while in a hypnotic state.

Can I become stuck in hypnosis?

No, the notion of getting "stuck" in hypnosis is a misconception. You maintain complete control, and you can emerge from the state whenever you wish.

Is it safe to drive after a hypnotherapy session?

Yes, but I recommend waiting 15 to 20 minutes before driving, as you may still be in a hypnotic state after emerging.

Is hypnosis a form of sleep or complete unconsciousness?

No, you remain fully aware throughout the hypnosis experience.

Is hypnosis dangerous?

Absolutely not. Contrary to depictions in movies or fiction, hypnosis is a safe practice.

Can hypnotherapy replace traditional medical care?

For severe psychiatric issues, consult a psychiatrist or psychotherapist. Physical problems should be addressed by a family doctor. Hypnosis may be suggested in conjunction with traditional medical care, not as a replacement.

Have I never been hypnotized before?

Hypnosis is a part of daily life, experienced when waking up or falling asleep, during focused tasks, or even while engrossed in a movie. It's a natural state that everyone encounters regularly.
