Hypnosis is a fantastic “tool” that can be used in hypnotherapy to change many different emotional and psychological problems. However, it is generally accepted that all hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. Contrary to what you may have heard, hypnosis is quite natural; the client is in an enhanced state of awareness and can concentrate entirely on the hypnotist’s voice and instructions. Hypnosis allows the subconscious mind to bypass the conscious analyzing part of the mind, allowing the therapist to suggest ideas and lifestyle changes.
Hypnotherapy is the “skill” of using hypnosis to alter or remove unwanted habits, behaviours, and emotions at a subconscious level.
Answer: Yes, as long as they are willing to be hypnotized.
There are times when hypnosis might not be appropriate:
There will always be unique circumstances that may prevent hypnosis; if anyone is in doubt, they should always consult their doctor first.
I don’t like the word “under” hypnosis; it suggests that the client is under the hypnotist’s control. The reality is that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. People can enter hypnosis when they choose to and exit hypnosis when they choose to. A hypnotherapist is a guide or instructor who works with the client to achieve the desired outcome.
No, hypnosis is not the same as sleep; hypnosis is a heightened state of mental awareness.
No, not unless you want to.
No, in the controlled environment of a hypnotherapy clinic, there is nothing to fear.
No, you can’t get stuck in hypnosis. Even people who experience euphoria in deep hypnosis will become bored and exit hypnosis after some time.
The feelings of hypnosis differ for each individual; most patients feel extreme physical and mental relaxation. Some can feel heavy or light as if floating or drifting, while some experience tingling sensations in their arms and legs. Some patients think indifferent even though natural hypnosis is taking place. Somnambulistic patients, however, who experience the deeper levels of hypnosis, will often visualize beautiful colours and experience feelings of absolute tranquillity, bliss, and peacefulness.
Yes, hypnosis is safe for children. Children are naturally susceptible to hypnotism and can benefit significantly from it.
The cost of a hypnosis session varies from therapist to therapist because they all set their prices. If the therapist is based in an area like London, then you should expect the price of a session to be set according to the high cost of living there. The session cost is also based on the experience and qualifications of the therapist. For example, hypnotherapy In London could cost you £200 – £500 per session, while in Newcastle upon Tyne, it could cost as little as £85 – £200 per session.
