frequently asked questions

 

Will I lose control over myself while I am under hypnosis?

Although the state of trance is an altered state of consciousness a person experiencing it does not lose control.  Any suggestion made by a hypnotherapist can still be rejected by the client if it were to challenge or threaten their sense of reasoning.  The hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything against your will.

Are there any side effects of hypnotherapy?

No, hypnotherapy has proved to be a harmless form of treatment.   Most clients describe the whole process of hypnotherapy as very relaxing.

How long does a hypnotherapy session last?

Usually between an hour and an hour and a half.  The first session might last longer because of the initial consultation. Any follow up session would usually last for an hour.  The amount of sessions will depend on the nature of the problem.  However, hypnotherapy is a relatively short course of therapy when compared with psychotherapy or counselling.  Some issues can be dealt with in one or two sessions others can take a few more.
