 There are many
people who have misconceptions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy, below are
some commonly asked questions in order for you to understand more about
the two subjects. Also any other questions which may be asked on any
area of the treatment;
- What hypnotherapist will be right for me? You
should first check that the hypnotherapist has recognised
qualifications, also look into the treatments they offer. I think the
key component is weather or not you feel comfortable talking to the
therapist, this will indicate good understanding. It is vital you feel
comfortable with the therapist as he/she could play a big role in
helping you to make great change in your life. To help with your search for a hypnotherapist, try, http://www.hypnotherapistregister.com
- Will I be controlled under hypnosis? Absolutely
not. This is the most common misconception made with hypnosis. Hypnosis
in my opinion is best described as deep relaxation, not sleep or
unconsciousness, simply deep guided relaxation. You will be in complete
control of yourself whilst in hypnosis, you are able to come out of
hypnosis whenever you wish and can not be made to do anything you do
not wish to do. This is not what you see on television (stage
hypnotists), it is Therapy and we are here to help you achieve your
goals.
- When can you see me?Appointments
are subject to availability, we can see you from 9.00am - 6.00pm.
Usually the soonest we could see you is 48 hours, but if you contact us
we could have available space instantly or the following day if needed.
We also make home visits if your suffering from Agoraphobia or would
rather be seen at home.
- How many sessions will I need? The
number of sessions solely depends on the issue you are seeking help
with. For instance, smoking cessation is normally dealt with in one
session, weight control could also be dealt with in one or two
sessions. Other issues such as depression, anxiety and stress depends
on the severity and nature of the condition. You will also be taught
self hypnosis and other skills in order to reinforce what has been said
in treatment, a CD can also be made to use for your own leisure.
- Will it work for me? If
you are coming into therapy with an open mind and wanting to be helped,
then there is a great chance of success. Each session Phillip and
yourself will speak about how you are progressing and how best to reach
the goals you desire.
- Do you make me go to sleep? No,
certainly not. A 'hypnotic state' is about being completely physically
and mentally relaxed in order to be able to suggest to your sub
conscious mind an alternative way of thinking. Before giving the sub
conscious mind suggestions, you will talk about that different way of
thinking you wish to have before entering a state of deep relaxation.
- Who will be present? Usually
just you and Phillip the hypnotherapist will be present, but if you
wish to bring along a family member or friend for extra support that is
fine. Children under the age of 17 would need to be accompanied by a
parent or guardian in attendance in the session.
