Frequently Asked Questions
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of hypersensitivity - meaning that the senses are heightened during hypnosis, so that you are more aware than normal of your surroundings, but not distracted by them.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes, except for young children under 5 yrs old and those with severe psychological illness. Different people can experience varying levels of hypnosis but everyone can benefit from this relaxing and empowering therapy.
Will I lose control or divulge private information?
Certainly not. You will be in control of everything you say and do, at all times.
Will I be asleep?
Hypnosis is that state, in between being asleep and awake, when you are aware of your surroundings, but yet totally relaxed.
What if I don't wake up?
There is no way that anyone can stay in a permanent state of hypnosis. This would be like saying "I won't paint the front fence because the paint might not dry". Even if your hypnotherapist were to faint or suffer serious illness (hopefully not!), you would waken up almost immediately or perhaps fall into normal sleep and awaken when rested as normal.
What is the subconscious mind?
The subconscious mind contains all your wisdom, memories and intelligence. It is responsible for all the things that you do automatically. It controls your blood pressure, heartbeat, body temperature etc. It is that part of you that learns processes automatically like driving, turning a page once you have finished reading it, blinking your eyes. It recalls things from the past, recent or distant. It is 80% of your capabilities and potential as a human being.
