Q & A
Understanding Hypnosis: What You Can Expect.
Before you start your journey, let’s answer the most common questions — so
you feel safe, informed, and ready for positive change.
Understanding the process is the first step.
Q. What can hypnosis help with?
Answer: Hypnosis can support weight loss, smoking cessation, stress reduction, better sleep, pain management, confidence building, and releasing unwanted habits. It’s also powerful for emotional healing and goal achievement.
​
Will I be asleep or unconscious during hypnosis?
Answer: No — hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation. You’re aware the whole time, just deeply calm and more open to positive suggestions. You can talk, move, or open your eyes anytime you wish.
​
What does hypnosis feel like?
Answer: Most people describe it as similar to daydreaming or being so absorbed in a book or movie that the world fades away. Your body relaxes, your mind focuses, and you feel peaceful and safe.
​
Can I get ‘stuck’ in hypnosis?
Answer: Absolutely not. Even if you were left alone, you’d either open your eyes naturally or drift into regular sleep and wake up feeling refreshed.
​
How many sessions will I need?
Answer: It depends on your goal. Some issues resolve in one session, while others — like weight loss or long-term habits — may benefit from a series of sessions to reinforce the changes.
​
Will you make me cluck like a chicken?
Answer: No stage tricks here! That’s entertainment hypnosis, which is very different. In a therapeutic session, everything is for your benefit and under your control.
​
What if I can’t be hypnotized?
Answer: Almost everyone can enter hypnosis as long as they’re willing and open to the process. It’s a skill — and with a skilled hypnotist, even first-timers can experience deep relaxation.
​
Is hypnosis safe?
Answer: Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state your mind already enters several times a day — like when you’re driving on autopilot or lost in thought. In a professional setting, it’s completely safe and used with your consent.
