The length of your hypnotherapy program will be determined by your conscious willpower, your desire to change a behavior, and how you handle your subconscious mind’s need for resistance.

Some clients seek relief in as little as a couple sessions, while others feel it is a benefit for ongoing therapy for as long as they desire.

Typically, a hypnosis client will spend less time in counseling than with a psychologist or MFT. It is recommended that a new client work with a hypnotherapist for a minimum of 4 to 6 sessions that are one week apart for the best results.

If you are ready to make a change in your life and have tried other methods for achieving your goals without satisfaction, hypnotherapy may be right for you. While hypnosis does work quickly, it is not magic, and results will not occur overnight in most cases.

They say that it takes 28-60 days to change a habit in the subconscious mind. The benefits of a hypnosis session creates “Trance-Formations!” Use the hypnosis to overcome self-defeating behaviors, negative habits and learn to manage all aspects of your life!

No. Hypnotherapists are “certified counselors” that specialize in general self-improvement with behavior modification.

There is no licensing in this profession, nor can a hypnotherapist call themselves a doctor or PhD without legitimate medical training from a college program and having completed state licensing exams.

The word Hypnosis comes from Greek origin meaning a “sleep-like state,” however, you will not be asleep, nor will you be unconscious.

You will be aware of everything that is happening and what is being said the whole time, however, you will be so deeply relaxed that you may find yourself drifting into different levels of awareness.

No, since you are still consciously aware of the process, you cannot be put under hypnosis against your will. At the same time, you also cannot be hypnotized to do something that you really don’t want to do for yourself. For example, if your partner wants you to quit smoking but you are not ready to, your mind will block the suggestion with your own resistance, and you will remain a smoker after the session.

Generally, you will remember different parts of your experience depending on how deep your mind goes.

You will find that suggestions that have been given to you in hypnosis will resurface in your analytical, conscious mind after your session, and these will be the thoughts that produce changes in your behavior or way of thinking and feeling.

Unlike what you see in the movies, a well-trained Hypnotherapist rarely uses a “regression technique” to uncover subconscious memories. It is not necessary to go digging around in the mind to find out how, why and what has made you who you are today.

Hypnosis is a tool that, when used properly, allows suggestions to effectively release negative associations of the past that are affecting you in the present. This enables you to work toward a brighter future in your personal and professional life.
