Frequently Asked Questions
Answering commonly asked questions on hypnotherapy and virtual/remote hypnotherapy sessions
1. How does hypnosis work?
We are beings that respond to situations — especially new ones. When something new happens, we remember it and learn a particular behavior in response to that circumstance. Memories stored in our brains and bodies hold the original physical and emotional reactions that occurred when the given memory was first formed. Each time similar events occur again, the physical and emotional reactions attached to the memory are repeated. These reactions may be inappropriate or unhealthy. In hypnotherapy, the trained therapist guides you to remember the event that led to the first reaction, separate the memory from the learned behavior, and reconstruct the event with new, healthier associations. During hypnosis, a person’s body relaxes while his or her thoughts become more focused and attentive. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnosis decreases blood pressure and heart rate, and alters certain types of brain wave activity. In this relaxed state, a person will feel very at ease physically yet fully awake mentally. In this state of deep concentration people are highly responsive to suggestion.
2. Can everyone be hypnotized?
Yes, people put themselves in a state of hypnosis practically every day. It is a normal state that happens to everyone right before going to sleep. It also happens when we’re reading a book, watching television, or driving long distances. Have you ever been on the freeway and suddenly found yourself at your exit without realizing how you got there? That’s what basically happens in hypnosis, you’re put in a trance state. In therapeutic hypnosis the trance state is prolonged in order to work within its bounds. It is possible to resist hypnosis, as it is possible to resist sleep. However, even if a person resists hypnosis with practice the resistance can be overcome.
3. What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
When you are in hypnosis you feel completely and totally relaxed. You are not asleep, anesthetized or unconscious. Your mind is active, you are alert, you can hear every sound in the room and your thoughts are under your control. Basically, you simply decide to ignore anything outside — it just becomes a part of normal life and doesn’t mean anything to you.
4. What if I can’t be hypnotized?
Everyone can be hypnotized because hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of relaxation. Some people, who are comfortable with meditation, deep prayer, daydreaming, etc., may go into a hypnotic state quicker and deeper than others. However, all of us can enter into a deep hypnotic state.

The session ends with a quick chat. We'll talk about your progress and develop a proactive plan for the subsequent sessions.
