Frequently Asked Questions

How does it work?

Hypnotherapy uses the subconscious mind to help you identify and release self-limiting beliefs.  I use many techniques, including guided imagery, meditation, Gestalt therapy, Parts therapy and Dreamwork, among others - to uncover the root causes of unwanted behaviour. In hypnosis, your ordinary negative thoughts and bad habit patterns can be replaced with new, more positive beliefs. Through post-hypnotic suggestions, this new information can be incorporated into daily life.  Hypnotherapy can quickly bring about dramatic changes in behaviour.  Within each of us is the possibility of a fulfilling, rewarding life. But all too often, painful past experiences and limited identities keep us from realizing our true potential.

Can I be hypnotized?

Yes. Everyone has the ability to be hypnotized.

How does it feel to be hypnotized?

Hypnosis provides a sense of profound physical and mental relaxation that is both revitalizing and refreshing.

Will I go to sleep?

No. When in hypnosis, you will hear everything I say.

What happens if I don’t come out of hypnosis?

This is impossible. All trances end, whether formally ended by me or ended naturally by you.

In hypnosis, will I do anything I don’t want to do or say anything I don’t want to say?

As your Hypnotherapist, I am seriously committed to helping you achieve your therapeutic goals. You will not ever do or say anything under hypnosis that is in conflict with your personal ethical standards and/or desires. You are in full control at all times. My only role is to help you. Your session is also completely confidential.

How many sessions will I need?

This is different for everyone. Some people only need one, others may need up to six.
