1.
I have concerns about mind control. Is this a possibility?
Absolutely not!
It is you, not the hypnotherapist that determines whether the hypnotic state is to occur.
2. What is a hypnotic state like?
Being in a hypnotic state is like
daydreaming. Your mind becomes clear and
focused and you feel very relaxed. You
always are aware of your surroundings,
but your attention is focused on the suggestions being given.
3. Will I reveal secrets about myself and my life?
You are always in control. The only answers that I choose to obtain from my clients are yes or no answers. Answering a yes or no question is always up to your discretion and a hypnotherapist cannot force you to answer.
4. Will I remember the suggestions given to me after the session?
You will remember the suggestions on a
subconscious level, which will surface
at the appropriate time for the
circumstance.
If you prefer, this issue can be addressed by giving an appropriate suggestion for you to remember everything when the session ends.
5. I am concerned about not being able to come back from hypnosis. Can this happen?
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, like daydreaming. Everyone comes out of this state when they are ready. All of my hypnotic scripts include a wakening instruction.
6. What types of issues have people come to see you about?
There are over 800 therapeutic applications for clinical hypnotherapy. Most of my clients have come to see me regarding smoking cessation, losing weight, anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, fear of driving, procrastination, organization, fear of public speaking and IBS.
7. How many sessions does it take to help in these various areas?
Generally I will see most people between four to six sessions. The exception to this is my weight loss clients and those individuals need a minimum of 12 sessions.
8. What is your current success rate?
My current success rate is at 93%. All of my clients have received tremendous benefit from their sessions and have been able to overcome whatever it was they initially came to see me for.
9.Do most people know when they are in hypnosis?
Most of my clients really don’t know what to expect so I always refer to the first session as an experience. I don’t do a lot of the block/obstacle removals on this visit. My main objective is for them to feel safe and comfortable and just “experience” this pleasant state of deep relaxation. Most people are genuinely and pleasantly surprised and can’t wait to come back for their next session.
10. How long are the sessions?
The actual hypnotic session runs between 45 to 60 minutes in length.
11. Why does hypnosis seem to make such a substantial difference in helping people move beyond their problems?
Hypnosis works so well because the subconscious mind does not judge or criticize the suggestions being given (unlike the conscious mind). It accepts the suggestions willingly and implements the changes so that the individual’s goals can be achieved.
12. What other services do you provide?
I also offer health assessments. I am a Holistic Practitioner and believe in treating the person as a whole….mind, body and emotions. My health assessments include dietary suggestions, herbal and nutrient recommendations, lifestyle modifications and relaxation techniques as well as exercise.
13. Are you available for speaking engagements?
Absolutely! I am always willing to educate people about the importance of optimum health.
14. Do you use any form of reinforcement, especially for the weight loss and smoking cessation clients?
As a matter of fact I do. I personally make an individualized CD for all of my clients. I encourage listening to this CD every night when they go to bed. Most of my clients love it because they state they have never slept better in their life. Some clients have concerns about falling asleep while listening and that is ok. The subconscious mind is still listening and absorbing the suggestions.
