Questions

What is Hypnosis? 

Hypnosis uses altered mental states (a heightened emotional state, a trance state, or an alpha-theta brain wave state) to achieve a particular outcome. These states allow you to create new neurological connections. 

 Is Hypnosis real? 

While it is true that it would be extremely easy to 'fake' a hypnotic reaction, there are also actual observable and measurable results. Studies that monitor brain activity have shown Hypnosis, and hypnotic suggestions modify the way the brain processes information (particularly regarding the Default Mode Network). In randomized controlled clinical studies, Hypnosis is an effective pain therapy and mental health therapy. 

Can anyone be hypnotized? 

Hypnotic states are states everyone accesses in daily life: heightened emotional states, deeply relaxed states, and even some states in between. So, yes, everyone can be hypnotized. Researchers can measure hypnotic suggestibility and classify susceptibility as either high, medium, or low. 80% of people are moderately susceptible, with 10% highly susceptible and 10% less susceptible. 

Is Hypnosis dangerous?

Hypnosis itself is not dangerous. You cannot get "stuck" in a hypnotic state or trance. The concern is that it is possible that Hypnosis can result in confabulation: the tendency to confuse fantasy as fact. While there is still a need for rigorous study on the matter, it is imperative that you trust your practitioner. I promise all of my clients that I have the utmost respect and take my responsibility as a hypnotist very seriously. I stay far away from any practices that would cause any undesired results.

Can Hypnosis make me do things I don't want to do? 

No, you cannot be forced to do anything you do not want to do in a session. In Hypnosis, you maintain control over your capacity to act on suggestions, albeit if you allow yourself to act on a suggestion, the results may appear or feel as if they occur on their own. 

Can Hypnosis be done virtually? 

Yes! Hypnosis does not require any physical touch or connection to be effective. Hypnosis is just as effective virtually. Have more questions? Feel free to reach out or visit: Hypnosisandsuggestion.org
