Understanding Hypnosis
This section aims to demystify hypnosis and provide clarity on what it is. It's a natural and powerful state of focused attention that allows direct access to the subconscious mind, where lasting positive change can occur.
What exactly is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of heightened focus and relaxation, similar to being deeply engrossed in a book or daydreaming. In this state, your mind becomes more open and receptive to positive suggestions that can help you achieve your goals.
How does hypnosis work?
Hypnosis works by bypassing the critical, conscious mind and accessing the subconscious, where deeply ingrained patterns and beliefs reside. This allows for the introduction of positive suggestions and the facilitation of inner resources for change.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience hypnosis to some degree. The key factors are a willingness to participate and the ability to follow simple instructions.
Is hypnosis like what I see in movies or stage shows?
Stage hypnosis is for entertainment and often uses suggestible volunteers. Clinical hypnotherapy is a therapeutic process focused on helping you achieve specific personal goals. It's a safe, collaborative, and respectful process.
Will I be unconscious or lose control during hypnosis?
Absolutely not. You will remain fully aware and in control throughout the entire session. Hypnosis is not a state of sleep or unconsciousness. You will be able to hear, think, and speak if you choose.
Can hypnosis make me do things against my will?
No. You will always maintain your free will and personal values under hypnosis. You cannot be made to do anything that you fundamentally disagree with. Hypnosis enhances your own ability to make positive changes you desire.

Our first online session is designed to be a collaborative and informative step in your journey. We'll start by you sharing in more detail the specific issue or challenge you're wanting to address. This will help me understand your unique experience and goals. I'll then explain clearly how online hypnotherapy works, demystifying the process and answering any initial questions you might have. To tailor our approach effectively, I'll also guide you through some gentle exploration to understand how you naturally process and take in information on a subconscious level. Finally, we'll begin to explore potential contributing factors or origins of the issue you're presenting. This initial session lays the groundwork for our subsequent work together.
How do online hypnotherapy sessions work?
We will connect via a secure Zoom video call. Just ensure you have a stable internet connection and a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without interruptions. Headphones are recommended for optimal sound quality.
What will a typical online hypnotherapy session be like?
Each session is customized to the individual, generally consisting of: a brief check-in, a cognitive component, a soothing induction into relaxation, focused therapeutic work on the presenting issue through hypnosis, and a gradual return to full consciousness.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on your individual goals and progress.
What can I do to prepare for my online session?
