✺ Hypnotherapy FAQ’s ✺

Hypnotherapy is the study of the use of hypnosis paired with effective change strategies and techniques.
Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of focused attention, where you are more receptive to positive suggestions and can access the subconscious mind to make lasting changes. You’ve been in hypnosis countless times and it’s similar to daydreaming, becoming absorbed in a book or movie, or being in “flow state”.
-
Hypnotherapy helps you enter a relaxed state where your subconscious mind is open to new ideas, enabling you to change patterns, beliefs, and habits at a deep level. By accessing the subconscious, hypnotherapy makes it easier to shift underlying beliefs that affect your daily life.
It’s like a meditation except for the key distinction that while meditation helps you accept a problem, hypnotherapy helps you do something about it!

Results vary depending on the person and the issue being addressed. Some people notice changes after just one session, while others may need several sessions to achieve lasting results. On average, it typically takes 4-12 sessions for lasting change take root.

No, hypnotherapy won’t force you to remember anything against your will. You remain in control throughout the process, and I tailor each session to your comfort level.

You’ll never be pushed to recall anything you’re not comfortable with, and we always prioritize your sense of safety and well-being.
