What is hypnosis? Unlike the Hollywood version, hypnosis is simply a state of deep relaxation. In this state, the critical factor of your mind (the “I can’t” part of you) is temporarily set aside, allowing positive results after one office visit.

Can anyone be hypnotized? Yes. In fact, most people experience hypnosis several times a day. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis. When you are focused on a great book or movie, this is a form of hypnosis. Also, the state right before sleep, is hypnosis.

What does hypnosis feel like? At no time will you be asleep or unaware of what is going on. You will, however, feel more relaxed than ever before. A feeling of peace, serenity, and well being accompany this relaxation.

Will I remember what is said and done after I come out of hypnosis? Hypnosis is not an unconscious state so you will be aware of what is being said and done. If you have no memory of certain parts of your session, it is because you were drifting and dreaming in your own pleasant thoughts.

Am I giving up any control during hypnosis? No. You will be in such complete control during the entire session that if anything is done or said that you disagree with , or that you feel is in bad taste, you can simply open your eyes, and leave the room. No one can control your mind.
