Is hypnosis sketchy?

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

The term hypnosis can conjure different meanings depending on how you have been exposed to the idea. When I speak about hypnosis, I am referring to the practice of deep, guided meditation in a safe, controlled, autonomous and therapeutic setting.

Hypnosis is essentially?meditation with a guide, and usually includes positive?"suggestions" similar to affirmations, that help move a client towards better habits or beliefs based on their desired outcome. When I create suggestions for my clients, I am using their own words, desires and language.

Hypnosis is not sleep.?You will remain awake and fully conscious throughout the experience and you will remember everything. In fact, you will be "super conscious" because you will be accessing your subconscious mind which makes up 90% of your mental processing.

I do not practice "stage hypnosis" (entertainment hypnosis). What you see on TV and in the movies is not an accurate portrayal of therapeutic hypnosis.?All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. No one can hypnotize you without your consent. No hypnosis practitioner?can make you do or say anything that you don't agree with. The practice of hypnosis is never successful unless the participant is open and willing to participate.

In my practice, I take time to be fully present with my clients to understand how they want to feel or transform. Once I have the information, I will work with them to develop positive affirmations using their own desires and language. I will guide them into a deeply relaxed state, a theta brainwave state, where the critical thinking mind can quiet and a new mindset or habit can be introduced in to the subconscious.

The more you practice, the deeper you go. Just as with any activity, the more you do it, the better you get. The same goes for hypnosis. You may not go very "deep" in your first session, but the more you practice, the more transformative your results will be. You may experience deep transformation in one session, but depending on your goals, somewhere between 6-12 sessions is recommended to truly?alter a belief?or to transform a habit.

Safety and trust are the foundation of my work. I am happy to answer any questions you have about hypnosis before we begin working together.
