Frequently Asked Questions

What is Hypnosis, What Does It Feel Like, and Is It Safe?

Hypnosis feels calm and relaxing, similar to guided meditation, daydreaming, or being engrossed in a book. It is a safe, non-invasive process led by a trained professional. By accessing a deeply relaxed state, hypnotherapy introduces positive suggestions to reshape limiting beliefs and behaviors, promoting emotional well-being, mental well-being, and personal growth.

It’s important to note that hypnosis cannot make you do or say anything against your will. Hypnosis does not allow anyone to control you in a way that compromises your values or desires. You remain fully aware and in control throughout the session, and you’ll remember everything afterward. 

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic technique that uses hypnosis to access the subconscious mind and deliver positive suggestions by addressing underlying causes. In a deeply relaxed state, a trained hypnotherapist guides you to explore and address the root causes of thoughts, beliefs, emotions, behaviors, and past traumas. This process helps reshape limiting patterns, overcome fears and obstacles, and support your overall well-being. Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive approach that promotes personal growth, aids in overcoming trauma, and leads to lasting transformation.

Can Anyone Be Hypnotized, and Will I Reveal Personal Secrets?

Almost anyone can be hypnotized if they are open and willing to relax into the process. During hypnosis, you remain fully conscious and in control, ensuring you won’t reveal anything you don’t wish to share. It’s a positive, empowering experience where you guide the journey, leading to self-discovery and positive change. You’re always in charge of the process!

How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Do I Need, and What Can It Help With?

The number of sessions depends on your goals and the issues you’re addressing. Hypnotherapy can help with weight loss, anxiety, smoking cessation, stress relief, confidence-building, pain management, and more. While multiple sessions often lead to lasting results, even one session can be impactful. A certified hypnotherapist will tailor the process to your needs, helping you achieve meaningful and lasting improvements.

What happens if the internet disconnects during a hypnotherapy session?

If the internet disconnects, there’s no need to worry—you will naturally come out of the relaxed state on your own, usually within 15-30 minutes, as your mind naturally knows when to reorient itself. If you’re especially tired, you may simply enjoy a bit more rest. Your therapist will also have a backup way to reach you, like a phone call, to get things back on track quickly. And if all else fails? You’ll wake up feeling calm, refreshed, and ready to handle those Wi-Fi hiccups with a peaceful mindset!

EFT (TAPPING)

EFT (Tapping), or Emotional Freedom Techniques, is a holistic healing method that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while focusing on a particular emotion or issue you want to release. This process combines the principles of modern therapeutic techniques with traditional acupressure to help reduce stress, anxiety, and other emotional blockages. By stimulating these points, EFT aims to balance the body's energy system, promoting emotional healing and relief. Everyone deserves to live their best life. WOO HOO!

SOMATIC HEALING

What Is It and How Does It Differ from Traditional Therapy?

Somatic Healing focuses on the mind-body connection, using bodily interventions to help heal trauma by paying attention to physical sensations and experiences that need to be released. Unlike traditional talk therapy, which targets cognitive functions and thought patterns, Somatic Healing emphasizes the body's role in storing emotions and experiences. This approach helps release stored tension and trauma, leading to healing through physical awareness.
