What can I expect in a hypnosis session?
For the session, you will be seated in a comfortable chair where you will then be guided into a relaxed state, very similar to a guided meditation. Although you will be settled in with eyes closed, you will remain awake while in this state and always aware of what is taking place. You will be able to hear everything around you and are able to move freely if so desired. There is no right way or wrong way for you to go into hypnosis and in fact, even a light stage of hypnosis is enough to create change. In the sessions that follow, each time that you do hypnosis you are able to reach deeper levels, making the changes easier to integrate. Once you have let the conscious mind relax, the subconscious mind then is able to come to the forefront. As a trained hypnotist, I can then offer the direct and indirect suggestions to create the positive changes desired. Unlike some dramatic portrayals of hypnosis in movies, books, or on stage, you will not be unconscious, asleep, or in any way out of control of yourself. You will hear all of the suggestions, but it is up to you to decide whether or not to act on them. Once the session is complete, you are then gently guided back to the conscious state of mind.
What is needed for a hypnosis session to be as successful as it can be?
