QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WHAT DOES HYPNOSIS FEEL LIKE?
A deep relaxation. It is a comfortable experience where you might feel a bit drowsy. Your muscles will become limp and your breathing will slow.
DOES IT WORK?
A study carried out found that after 6 sessions of hypnotherapy the recovery rate was 93%.
In comparison, psychoanalysis had a 38% recovery rate after 600 sessions and behaviour therapy had a 72% recovery rate after 22 sessions.
WILL YOU MAKE ME DO SOMETHING WITH WHICH I AM NOT COMFORTABLE?
No, consciousness never disappears in hypnosis. When the deeper states of trance are induced, the conscious mind relaxes, but can intervene when necessary. You will still be in full control.
CAN HYPNOSIS DAMAGE YOUR BRAIN?
No, hypnosis has no negative effect on the brain. It is a safe, proven and effective method for treatment of many habits and conditions.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER THERAPIES?
The wonderful unique thing about hypnotherapy is that it works with the subconscious mind, which is a massive 90% of the mind. Traditional therapies such as CBT and counselling work with the conscious mind, which is just 10% of the mind.
WHY WORK WITH THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND?
The advantage of working with the subconscious mind is that this is where deeper emotions are stored. The subconscious mind holds past traumas, childhood memories, habits, fears and deep routed emotional problems. This means that your issue(s) can be targeted quickly and effectively, at the root cause.
