What to Expect
You'll sit or lie comfortably while the therapist guides you into a relaxed, focused state (hypnotic trance). You remain aware and in control throughout — hypnosis is a state of heightened receptivity, not unconsciousness. In this state, therapeutic suggestions and exploration of underlying material are more accessible. Sessions close with a gradual return to ordinary awareness. Most people feel refreshed rather than groggy afterwards.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Will I be unconscious or lose control?
- No. Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation, similar to being absorbed in a good book. You remain aware and can come out of trance at any time.
- Can anyone be hypnotised?
- Most people can enter some degree of hypnotic state, though depth varies. Willingness and trust in the process are key factors.
- How many sessions do I need?
- Simple habit change or phobias may respond in 3–6 sessions. Deeper psychological work takes longer. Your therapist will outline a realistic plan after an initial consultation.
