Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the questions that are commonly asked about hypnotherapy and hypnosis. Call Carolyn on 07514 931 096 if you would like to ask any other questions.
How will I feel during hypnosis?
Hypnosis is totally natural and something very normal. It is an extremely pleasant state of relaxation, similar to day dreaming. You remain awake and totally in control at all times.
Will I lose consciousness whilst in hypnosis?
No. During hypnosis the client is always fully aware and in control of everything that happens.
Will I reveal personal secrets whilst in hypnosis?
No. Hypnotherapy is not the same as stage hypnosis. You are in full control of all you say and do.
Are there any dangers?
None. You will be in a safe environment and will simply be relaxed.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Most people can go into at least a light trance. This is sufficient for most hypnotherapeutic goals. Therefore the majority of people can benefit from hypnotherapy to some extent.
Will I remember what happened during hypnosis?
You will remember most things but not all. This is the way the memory normally works. For example, when you listen to a speech you don’t remember everything that has been said, but you will recall the majority of it. The same applies with hypnosis.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions required varies from person to person and will depend on your needs and preferences. My goal is to work with you for the shortest time necessary for you to achieve the changes you want to make.
As a general guide, the number of sessions may range from 4 for a specific fear or phobia, 6 – 10 sessions for generalised anxiety and 8 – 12 sessions for clinical depression.
How long is each session?
The initial consultation is one hour in length. Each hypnotherapy session thereafter is approximately one hour.
Stop smoking therapy is a one-off session of two hours.
