A.
It depends on what is expected. Hypnosis is a very normal and natural
state, so you won't feel like someone different afterwards. Hypnosis is
not magic, it's just a state of heightened mental awareness mixed with
extreme physical relaxation. Some definitely experience deeper states
than others, but all can and do experience "feeling hypnotized" if they
simply go with the flow and allow it to happen. *Hypnotists often also
use "convincers", which allows clients to know and understand that they
are experiencing the hypnosis state. Many have reported
having a euphoric feeling afterwards.
Q. Can everyone be hypnotized?
A.
YES. The average person experiences a hyper-suggestible state at least
several times daily. Another way to feel suggestible is the same as
the state of being in love. Another hypersuggestable state is when your
anxious or nervous and your body naturally tries to calm down.
Q. Can I be forced to do things I don't want to do?
A.
No. The conscious mind always overrides the subconscious mind. It would
take massive mind control plus mind altering hallucinogen type drugs to
be able to control someone to go against their will. Stage hypnotists do
not force people to do funny things either, those people 'want' to do
those things, or they wouldn't have stepped up on stage to begin with,
so they allow for the hypnosis to take place. Hypnosis lets people do
what they already wanted to do. Like a permission slip to the mind.
Q. What are ways hypnosis can help me?
A.
Hypnosis can be used for many things. Examples are: Self esteem,, habit
control, fears & phobias, building confidence, weight control, dreaming,
relationship enhancement, past life regressions, etc. It's endless
really. If you want to change, we just help you -'Unlock You're
Potential'.
Q. What is NLP
A.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This is happening daily (like in schools,
churches, especially seminars, etc.) Some forms are done with the intent
of secretly persuading your decision making. It's already happened to us
through out our entire life, which is why we have a all have some sort
of belief system. Some types of NLP are good, and teach morals, and
sometimes it can be negative. Be cautious! Some could find themselves
handing large amounts of money over to someone or some large
organization, just after a seminar, or presentation. Scam artists are
very good at this technique. The famous Hypnotist- Milton Erickson used
this method effectively in positive ways. Some methods are also very
wonderful in achieving goals, It's knowing the difference that counts.
Q. What brain wave is mostly experienced during hypnosis?
A.
Clients normally drop into a low Alpha state, just a hint lower than the
state they were previously in when they were filling out paperwork or
watching TV. They will not drop into Delta sleep state, but instead,
what is called a 'hypnotic' sleep, where the conscious mind relaxes as
the subconscious mind experiences a heightened awareness. The client
remains in Alpha, and may not technically feel much different, however,
will be super relaxed and stress free. The client may temporarily
experience Theta, which is the brain wave where REM dreaming occurs, but
not for long at all. A client may also experience Beta prior, if was
running late, or really upset, or is extremely nervous. Beta normally
occurs during active times / exercise.
Q. Will I "feel' different after hypnosis?
A.
Since clients are always conscious, most are always aware of all that is
going on, only super focused. Most the time it is other people that
notice a positive change, more than the client. at first because change
has already happened and feels natural and normal. The majority of
clients feel an overwhelming feeling of 'well being' when they emerge
from the hypnotic state. This feels very natural and normal, it won't
feel odd or unnatural. Time gain or loss may be experienced pending the
depth of hypnosis. Slight amnesia is possible, but rare, even then,
memory normally regains with-in the next day unless it's purposely
suggested.
Q. Will a change be noticed right away?
A.
That depends on what each person is wanting to achieve. Which is why we
set up package deals. Some problems are deep rooted and took a long time
to create, which would take some time to re-adjust. It's different for
each and everyone of us. Some feel the change right away, some gradually
feel it. But generally all clients notice some form of positive change
after just one session. We work with each client, but we cannot do all
of the work. Hypnotherapy is a partnership between the client and
hypnotist. If the client follows the guidelines that are discussed, the
outcome will lead to greater satisfaction. The Hypnotist will give tools
to make this transaction easier than it would be with out hypnosis.
Q. Is Hypnosis sleep or loss of consciousness?
A.
No, because the mind does not drop into Delta. It is not the same
as when one goes to bed and the brain wave drops into Delta. One may
experience some Theta during their hypnosis session. Hypnosis is a state
of total physical relaxation and a heightened mental alertness, like
building rapport between the conscious and subconscious. We wake up the
subconscious, while the conscious mind relaxes. It's very easy for one
to accidentally fall asleep, so we pay close attention and if this
happens, we will just wake the client back up and proceed, which is very
normal.
Q. Does a person remember everything that the hypnotist tells them
during the session?
A. Sure! Most clients remember everything. Occasionally if they do
experience some time loss, this is temporary. Hypnotic amnesia, from a
deep stage can happen, but will normally come back with-in that day or
the next. We can however suggest amnesia on purpose if client wants
that, but it's rare.
Q. Can a person live in a hypersuggestable state?
A. Absolutely. They can, and do! People actually walk into the office
already in a hypersuggestable state. As we experience it many times
daily. Some people actually need to be de-hypnotized, by learning to
relax and control stress. This is why we offer stress management
sessions as well.
Q. Will getting hypnotized make me reveal things I don't want to tell?
A.
No. We do not prompt you to tell us your deepest, darkest secrets. But
what ever you do 'choose' to tell us to better understand your
situation, we are bound by law to keep any information confidential. The
only way we could reveal anything is by a court issued subpoena. However
if we feel a client reveals to be a threat to themselves or a threat to
others, by law we have to report it.
Q. Can I afford hypnotherapy sessions?
A.
Yes. We have packages that are individually created. If purchasing a
package, the more one will save on cost. Single sessions are currently
$75. We also are a part of Healthways Insurance Network, which is a self
pay discount to any policy holders on the list. Save by taking advantage
of our package deals too. It's a great investment for one's self.
