Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness that increases receptivity to suggestions. It feels like stress relief or like peace after waking from a nice slumber. During a trance state, your breathing and heart rate slows and the passage of time is commonly distorted, becoming faster or slower, just like if you were to either watch a good movie to help you pass the time or if you were to check your watch constantly throughout the night in anticipation for daylight to break.

Hypnosis is not the same as sleep because the brain is more active during trance than in sleep. You're able to respond, move, and talk in trance, to tell lies or to tell the truth! Some people might have these experiences as if they were sleepwalking, but the majority of people will not experience a trance state this way.

No, you cannot get stuck in hypnosis because regular maintenance is required to keep a person under trance. If you have read or heard stories about people who were hypnotized and who then didn't wake up until the next day, then they could not have been in a state of hypnosis because hypnotic states need to be maintained with suggestions or activities. Once a person stops being responsive, they have started to transition into sleep and need to be awakened or their state lightened.

No, hypnotism is not black magic. I cannot make you do anything against your will or your values. I will let you know if this changes because I am constantly on the lookout for zombies or sleepwalkers to become my slaves. Unfortunately they will only do mindless things for personal, nonsensical reasoning, and this won't change until their values to become my slaves has turned into a positive.

People are a lot more respectful of themselves under hypnosis than they are when they are fully conscious. It's not about whether or not your mind is strong or weak but if you are willing to be hypnotized. Willing minds are the easiest to work with because they will cooperate, which doesn't mean that they will become my slaves and cluck like chickens. It's a total illusion to say that I'm the one in control. It may look like it, but I'm not. People who are following suggestions want things to work for personal reasons. For example, if I were to ask you how was work, would asking you have made you answer me? No, it would not have, and it's the same thing with your subconscious. It will reject or accept doing things for the reasons you have. Hypnotherapy provides a safe and comfortable place for people to relax to create the changes that they want and in a super fast way. Moreover, people from all walks of life come for hypnotherapy, including Olympians who are some of the most mentally tough people in the world. Hypnosis can help you improve on something that you already consider a strength, like it could help you increase your positivity or productivity if you are already positive or productive. Hypnosis isn't just about fixing weaknesses but improving strengths. Check out my blog article on this topic if you're interested.

Hypnosis itself is not dangerous but in the wrong hands it can be just like a screwdriver, a book, or a toy can be. You want to work with someone who understands hypnosis well enough that they will also grasp what not to do. For example, you want to make sure you're not in a tightly enclosed space like a closet or a car when you're being put under because you don't want to randomly hit objects if you get startled. If you're drunk or high on drugs, then you are in an impaired altered state and it's the same thing except now an entire room has become restricted to a closet.

I know that hypnosis will work for you because everyone is hypnotizable, but if you have doubts you'll want a consultation with me because there's a 93% success rate and I like to increase that statistic with a free discovery call. I work to understand the source of people's problems before I resolve them. You're not getting just a bonus with me. You're getting changes.

People forget under special circumstances, including things that are important, like their name. However, if it is important, then eventually they will remember it.

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis and hypnosis is a trance state. Hypnotherapy may include talk therapy, counseling, coaching, story-making, questioning, reframing, and various other methodologies, techniques, or combinations while in a trance state or it may separate the two states.

According to American Health Magazine, hypnotherapy has a 93% success rate for 6 sessions compared to 38% for 600 sessions in Psychoanalysis, and 72% in 22 sessions for Behavioral Therapy. You can save a lot more time and money with hypnotherapy. Some methodologies in hypnotherapy may even prove faster and/or more effective than others. The more effective ones are comprehensive in their approach and the faster ones work more with the subconscious. You want a good balance of both when it comes to trauma.

Well, that's not how it works, not entirely. Problems can't always be fixed in a day even with Rapid Release Realignment(TM). This is because problems are multifaceted and require a series of sessions depending on the complexity or desired outcome (on average 3-5). Yet, hypnotherapy is the fastest way to make changes. I generally use various tools and techniques to help people notice improvements and results within their first session, and even my audio hypnosis recordings have been found to be very soothing.
