Will I remember what we both said when I am under?
Yes, you will remember everything both of us have said. In fact, because your senses are heightened in hypnosis you will find that your memory is clearer than normal. The positive suggestions I give you will go straight into your unconscious mind helping you to achieve your goal.
Can you make me do things against my will?
No, I cannot make you do anything against your will. You are in control. All I do is listen and help you feel respected and heard. The thing I am most likely to say is: ‘how do you feel?’
Can you hypnotise someone like me who is really sceptical?
Oh yes! In fact the more sceptical you are, the easier it is to put you into hypnosis.
Will I be alright after the session or will I feel weird?
The most you are likely to feel is relaxed and possibly a bit sleepy for a couple of minutes. Most people feel refreshed and happier just for being in hypnosis and experiencing the lovely sensation of deep relaxation.
Might I feel worse after analysis?
It is possible that while you are in analysis there may be moments where you feel worse before you feel better, but this is fleeting and everybody feels better when they finish the treatment.
Will I feel out of control in analysis?
No, you are in control. In fact I do not interpret what you say. This is not about thinking your way out of difficulties. If that worked you would have thought your way out already; this is about feeling and letting go of emotions that are blocking you at a very deep level.
What is your success rate like?
Pretty well everyone feels better after analysis; it is more a question of degree. I aim to make people feel completely at ease and free from their internal anxieties and difficulties. Some people just feel a lot better and feel on the road to full recovery. Hypnosis cannot change outside circumstances but it can make people feel so much better able to cope with them.
Will it change my personality?
No, your personality is uniquely yours. However, analysis can change your attitudes and limiting beliefs about yourself and hugely boost your self-confidence and self esteem. You may well feel that you are finally able to realise your true potential.
Giving up smoking
How do I know it will work?
As long as you want to give up smoking it will work, but I cannot make you do something against your will so I will only take you on if you genuinely want to be a non smoker.
Will I start eating too much if you stop me smoking?
Sometimes people start overeating after giving up smoking because they want a habit to put in the place of smoking. With hypnotherapy this doesn’t happen because the therapy provides a positive alternative to the habit of smoking.
Can I smoke the occasional cigarette?
No, hypnotherapy helps you to become a non smoker. The moment you smoke a cigarette you are no longer a non smoker and the habit will come back.
