Frequently Asked Questions
Will I lose control or do embarrassing things?
No. Clinical hypnotherapy isn't like stage hypnosis. You remain aware and won't do anything against your will.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Most people can enter hypnotic states. Depth varies. If you can daydream or get absorbed in movies, you can likely be hypnotized.
Is hypnotherapy evidence-based?
Yes, for certain applications like anxiety, pain management, and habit change. Research supports its effectiveness.
How many sessions are needed?
Often fewer than talk therapy. Some issues resolve in 3-6 sessions. Complex patterns may need more.
Can I remember what happens?
Usually yes. You're not unconscious—just in a focused, relaxed state. You'll typically remember the session.
What's the difference between hypnotherapy and meditation?
Both involve altered states. Hypnotherapy is guided with therapeutic purpose. Meditation is typically self-directed practice.
