Hypnosis is not what you see in the movies, so what is it?

Hypnosis is a natural though altered state of mind. This is where suggestions become
beliefs. Being in this relaxed state bypasses the critical part of the mind allowing access
to the subconscious mind, where many of our self-limiting beliefs and thoughts are
stored. We can effectively weaken or eliminate these negative beliefs and insert more
positive, healing and beneficial suggestions.

Clarifying Common Misconceptions

Will I lose control?
No. You will not lose control while in Hypnosis, in fact you will be able
to take control over parts of your life you may not have had control over
before.

Will I lose consciousness?
No. You will remain conscious and you are not asleep during hypnosis.

Will I reveal secrets?
No. Unlike its portrayal in the movies, Hypnosis is not a form of truth
serum and will not have the client sharing information that they don’t want
to.

Will I "get stuck" in Hypnosis?
No. You will be aware of everything that’s going on around you.

  • You enter some form of hypnosis several times a day, like when you are driving and pass your turn-off
    because you haven’t been paying attention.
  • Everyone also goes through this natural state before they fall asleep and as they come into wakefulness.
  • The client is often more deeply relaxed than they've ever felt before.
  • The client is always in control and fully aware of everything around them.
  • You are free to receive or reject suggestions at any point.
  • A person who does not want to be hypnotized cannot be hypnotized or induced to do or say anything
    which violates personal standards or integrity.
Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It
accepts what your conscious mind decrees.
