Hypnosis is a state of hyper-suggestibility for transformative change. It is experiencing a relaxed  and focused state that allows effortless transformation from undesired behaviors to desired ones.  This state is reached in the Alpha state (relaxed alertness and light hypnosis). In other words,  hypnosis is a state of mind that helps us to surpass our conscious mind and allows us to access  the subconscious mind, where we store all our memories, beliefs, and habits. Hypnosis is NOT – sleep, unconsciousness, being gullible, weak-minded, controlled by someone else, or losing self control.

Let’s clarify the difference between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a state of mind  where an individual is in a trance-like state, and their focus and concentration are heightened.  Hypnotherapy, however, is a therapeutic technique that uses Hypnosis to help individuals  achieve their desired outcomes. In other words, Hypnosis is a tool, and Hypnotherapy is the use  of that tool to help individuals overcome problems, improve their lives, and achieve their goals.  Hypnotherapy is a safe and effective way to address a wide range of issues, including weight  loss, smoking cessation, motivation, improved sports performance, eliminating negative beliefs,  increasing confidence, overcoming procrastination, grief, and more.

You always maintain your complete sense of awareness. On the contrary, you are more fully  awake and relaxed. You’ll remain conscious of your surroundings and may experience sensations  like tingling, lightness, fluttering eyelids of emotions or energy movement. All hypnosis is self hypnosis.

Before you begin, I will explain the hypnosis process and review your desired goals. Then, I will  start by talking in a gentle, soothing tone, describing images that create a sense of relaxation,  security, and well-being. When you’re relaxed and calm, I suggest ways to achieve your goals. That may include, for example, ways to increase motivation or reduce cravings to eat junk food  or smoke. I will also help you visualize vivid, meaningful mental images of yourself accomplishing your goals. When the session ends, you can bring yourself out of hypnosis on  your own. Or I may need to help you gradually and comfortably increase your alertness.

Because each person is unique, and each person’s motivation and participation are different, there  is no one-size-fits-all solution to hypnotherapy. Some people can get help for their presenting  issues in one session, while others may need 4-6 sessions. However, even with one session, it is a  step toward positive change.

After hypnosis, you will feel relaxed and peaceful. You will have an overall sense of calm and  clarity about your life and a higher sense of awareness – being more connected with yourself.

Hypnosis can be a powerful tool but is not a magic wand. It cannot make you do something  against your will and will not automatically solve all your problems. Hypnosis is not a substitute  for traditional medical or psychological treatment, such as depression, addiction, or other  psychological disorders. Finally, hypnosis cannot make you forget something that happened in  the past. It can help you to process and accept a traumatic event and move on from it, but it  cannot erase the experience from your memory.
