IS HYPNOSIS SAFE?
When engaging in a session of hypnotherapy with a trained professional, you will have a natural and rewarding experience that is totally safe. You will be able to end the experience at anytime of your choosing. You will be in complete control of yourself and your actions. It is only by a mutual co-operation between therapist and client that the hypnotic state can be maintained. You cannot be hypnotised against your will. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE HYPNOTISED?
Most people have the idea that when they are hypnotised they are unconscious, asleep or out of control.

When you are hypnotised your mind is alert, you can hear every word the hypnotherapist says. You can also reject any suggestion made by the therapist if it is against your beliefs.

The physical feelings of hypnosis is one of relaxation and comfort. It frees one from the stress and anxiety that plagues so many peoples' lives today.

WILL I LOSE CONTROL?
Hypnotherapy is a process of negotiation and persuasion. You are very aware of everything both you and your therapist say and you will remember everything said. You are in control each and every step of the way. You will not do anything, or act in any way, that is contrary to what you would do if in a fully conscious state of awareness. It is different from stage hypnosis. That is where the stage hypnotist embeds a command in the subconscious mind causing people to act differently and not to remember what they did.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE AFFECTS?
You will not experience any negative effects from hypnotherapy. It is a totally natural, safe process that allows you to feel very relaxed and confident.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
Problems such as stress, phobias, and chronic pain, and habits like smoking or overeating can often be treated in three or four sessions. Problems of a more complex nature might require additional work. Our goal is to complete the work in as few sessions as possible.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS?
Within three to five sessions of hypnotherapy you can achieve results. The average number of sessions needed is three.
