Questions frequently asked about clinical hypnosis.

 

 

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of mind. At least twice a day every human being is naturally in hypnosis. It is the time when you are waking in the morning and when you are going to sleep at night. As you lay in your bed with eyes closed, before sleep, when you can still hear someone else in the room and hear what they may say to you, and yet you are completely relaxed…It is a state of heightened awareness in which the conscious mind is bypassed, and communication is directly established with the subconscious. By using words and images, your hypnotist will simply keep you in the place of comfort for about half an hour.

 “Hypnosis is a genuine psychological phenomenon that has valid uses in clinical practice. Simply put, hypnosis is a state of highly focused attention or concentration, often associated with relaxation and heightened suggestibility. while under hypnosis (i.e., in hypnotic trance), it seems many people are much more open to helpful suggestions than they usually are.

You will have an hour intake when you and I will gather insights and information that will help me craft specific suggestions designed to accomplish the change you desire.

 

Your actual session will look something like this…

​

• During the hypnosis session, there will be relaxing music and you will be comfortable in a recliner with a blanket …shoes off…glasses off…cell phones off. I will be in an office chair and when the session begins I will be on your left side. I will then talk you into a very relaxed state of mind and offer your relaxed mind the suggestions that you and I created together.                                                                                                         

• When the session is done, I will count you from 1 to 5 slowly bringing you back to full wakefulness                                                                                                                                 

• So the first appointment is two hours long - one hour for intake and one hour for hypnosis for a total cost of $175.00                                                                                                                                                                       

• ** Smoking Cessation is a two-hour session. ($250) plus two follow up sessions at $125 per session.

​

What if I can’t quiet my mind?

That’s my responsibility…I have been trained to use words and my voice to help you relax.

 

Am I going to lose control or be forced to accept suggestions when I’m hypnotized?

No. Your mind is very protective of you.  You will not reveal any secrets nor will you accept any suggestion that would go against your ethical and moral code.

 

Will I forget everything that happens during my session?

Actually no…you will hear and remember everything that I say to you during the session.

 

YOU are the expert in creating your life, I am the expert in helping you get what you desire. What area of your life would you like to modify and experience profound change?
