Can anyone
be hypnotised?
Yes, anyone can be hypnotised as long as they want to
be. A hypnotherapist can not force you to go into hypnosis
against your will.
Will
I know what is happening?
Yes, in fact if anything you can be more aware of what
is happening. Although your eyes maybe closed your other
senses can increase their awareness and sensitivity.
Will
I remember what happened during hypnosis ?
Yes and No. You will remember some things but not all.
This is the way our memory works normally. For example
when you listen to a speech or talk you may have started
off listening to the person speaking but you never remember
everything that has been said. Some scientists say we
only retain about 30% of what we hear unless we take
written notes to aid our memory.
Will
I lose control?
No.You remain in control at all times. The hypnotherapist
does not have control over you and if you decide to
get up and walk out, then you will.
What
happens if the hypnotherapist has a heart attack?
Should this unlikely event occur, you would open your
eyes and act, as you would do at any other time if this
had happened?
Is
it dangerous ?
No, you are perfectly safe as hypnosis is a naturally
occurring process anyway.
What
is being in hypnosis like ?
It is quite an ordinary experience. In fact you will
have already experienced what hypnosis is like in your
everyday activities. Daydreaming is hypnosis. When you
are reading a book on a train and are oblivious to other
noises and passengers, that is hypnosis. We experience
hypnosis throughout our day whether we are aware of
it or not.
Will
I be forced to accept suggestions? No.
Your mind is very protective of you and you will not
accept any suggestions that go against your morals or
beliefs and certainly a professional hypnotherapist
is not going to make them either.
So
what is hypnosis ?
Hypnosis is that time when we may be working at the
office but our mind is elsewhere. Often when a colleague
or friend sees you like this they will say ' Hey, wake
up you're in a trance' ! Now although this is a saying
which we use without necessarily thinking about it,
the phrase 'in a trance' is actually very accurate.
You have been in a trance or hypnosis and have been
perfectly safe and when you decided to return from your
daydreaming you did.
How
many sessions will I need ?
This all depends on the problem or change that you want
to make.The hypnotherapist can see two different people
who have the same problem. One person might need two
sessions and the other might need four sessions. The
reason for this is that we are all unique and react
differently.

What
is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is the state that a person experiences. Hypnotherapy
is using that state for beneficial purposes.
So
how can being in hypnosis help resolve a problem?
When we are in hypnosis we are more relaxed, physically
and mentally. When this occurs our mind operates more
efficiently and effectively. An example of this is when
you try and remember someone's name. It’s on the
tip of your tongue but you just can’t get to it.
After you stop trying it may be five minutes later the
name comes back to you. The difference here is that
you were putting your mind under tension trying to force
it to remember. However when you stopped and thought
of something else, you allowed your mind to relax and
the name came to you. When the mind and body are relaxed
we have better access to our memories. We are a product
of our memories and past experiences. Sometimes we need
to return to a memory in order to resolve what happened
for our peace of mind before we can move on in the future.
How
often will I need to see the hypnotherapist?
How
Many sessions will I require?
This depends on the type of problem and on the progress
made. If you require 2 or 3 sessions the hypnotherapist
will normally see you once a week. However some clients
see the hypnotherapist once a fortnight or even once
a month depending on their circumstances.
How
can I find out more before committing myself?
The hypnotherapist at the Abbey Practice, offers a 30
minute initial consultation. This is when more details
are taken of your circumstances and you can ask any
further questions. You are under no obligation to proceed
with hypnotherapy. In order to help you come to a more
informed decision the consultation is free.
What
should I do next ?
