Q) What is hypnosis?
A) Hypnosis is a state of altered awareness during which our subconscious mind becomes open and receptive to suggestions. Throughout the day, we naturally, drift in and out of different levels of awareness, obtaining information on a conscious level.
Q) What is the typical session like?
A) The client spends approximately an hour with me. We talk about their needs and then I have them sit or lie down in a comfortable position. I make positive suggestions that reinforce healthy behaviors that the client desires. The hypnosis lasts for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Q) If a person falls asleep while under hypnosis does it still work?
A) Yes. Some people will go into deep relaxation. Because hypnosis works on a subconscious level, you can still hear what is being said and the technique will be effective.
Q) Can you help someone lose weight?
A) Yes. Sometimes, being overweight is the result of over-eating combined with insufficient activity. Hypnosis is uniquely appropriate for getting your eating habits under control and for increasing your motivation to get more exercise. Hypnosis is also used so that people can control their emotions and make better choices.
Q) Is hypnosis safe?
