 |
Can anyone be hypnotised? |
 |
Yes, but only if they want
to be. The only exceptions being those under the influence of
drink or drugs or the mentally impaired. |
| |
|
|
Can a person be made to do something against
their will? |
|
No. Hypnotherapy is all about negotiation
and persuasion. You cannot be made to do anything against your
will and if anything improper were suggested you would not comply.
You will always remain in control and always be treated with
the utmost respect. You’re probably concerned because
you’ve seen stage performances where volunteers are made
a fool of. These people are carefully chosen for their extrovert
tendencies: people who enjoy the chance to show off! |
| |
|
|
Is it mind control? |
|
No! The therapist is not out to control
you. His or her sole motivation is to help you. The skill of
the hypnotherapist is to work within your control and still
bring about change at a deep level. |
| |
|
|
Am I awake and aware of what is happening? |
|
Yes. Probably more aware than in your normal
waking state. Hypnosis is a combined state of relaxation and
concentration with a heightened sense of awareness. |
| |
|
|
What does hypnosis feel like? |
|
There is no such thing as a hypnotized feeling,
only one of deep relaxation. Rather like being on the verge
of sleep. |
| |
|
|
Are you qualified and governed by a professional
association? |
|
Yes. I underwent my hypnotherapist training
in 2003 and am now a full practising member of the International
Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts. You can view their website
at www.successfulhypnotherapy.com. |
| |
|
|
Do you treat children? |
|
Yes. Hypnotherapy is suitable for both children
and adults. |
| |
|
|
Do you offer a free consultation? |
|
Yes. |
| |
|
|
Is my therapy confidential? |
|
Yes. Our work is governed by a strict code
of ethics and conduct which assures you of professional, confidential
and expert hypnosis treatment. |
