Frequently Asked Questions
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation of the mind, similar to deep meditation or deep sleep, that yields numerous healing benefits generated from the subconscious level.
What does Hypnosis feel Like?
Hypnosis can be experienced differently by everyone, but generally it is experienced as an extremely calming and relaxing state for both the mind and the body. You are aware of your surroundings, but you may consciously choose to ignore any distractions and focus on the work your subconscious mind is doing.
How effective is Hypnosis?
Although hypnosis can work quicker than some traditional forms of therapy, it is not a magic quick fix. You still need to put in the work. Most people need between 4-6 sessions to reach their goal.
It is important to note that hypnosis is a skill. Like any skill, it takes some practice.
Is Hypnosis for me?
Hypnotherapy is for individuals who want to transform their emotional or physical pain and gain back control of their lives!
Can the hypnotist make me say or do something I don’t want to?
The hypnotherapist can NOT make you think / say / do anything that you do not want to think / say / do. You (the client) are in full control of yourself / thoughts / ideas / body functions at all times. You share only what you want to share.
The strong-minded or analytical minded are not easily or cannot be hypnotized.
Clients resolve problems during hypnosis by receiving information from their own inner mind. There are different techniques and ways to approach various types of people who wish to bring on their transformations. Each person, each event, each issue is unique. What works for you, might not work for another. Hypnotherapy is customized for each individual.
What is Havening?
The Havening Techniques is a psycho-sensory therapy similar to EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques). Havening uses touch, focused attention and imagination to trigger electrochemical changes in the brain that change how traumatic memories are processed and removes their negative effects from both our psyche and body.
Why try Havening?
Havening is designed to make permanent changes to the landscape of the brain and removes emotional memories, upsetting life events and their negative effects. So, what once caused discomfort, upset or even trauma, can be viewed differently. This creates the opportunity for clarity, confidence and calm. Sometimes in just one session.
