FAQS

What is hypnosis?

The human mind is complex and layered. Hypnosis allows us to work directly with the subconscious to transform beliefs and patterns, fostering deep and lasting change. By entering an expanded state of consciousness, you can connect with profound parts of your inner self, gaining insights and utilizing your own wisdom.

While traditional talk therapy addresses conscious thoughts, hypnosis reaches deeper, enabling more efficient change. This approach taps into the emotional foundations of your automatic responses, using scientifically proven techniques to alter limiting beliefs and unhelpful patterns. Ultimately, it helps you move forward in your growth and development.

How does hypnosis work?

The subconscious mind makes up 95% of our thoughts and feelings. Hypnosis helps you tap into this powerful part of your mind to change how you experience the world. By aligning different layers of consciousness, it can transform limiting beliefs and help you access unprocessed emotions that lead to problems in your life.

You may have noticed times when you consciously wanted to change something, yet found yourself stuck in the same patterns. This happens because many issues are held at the unconscious level. The most effective changes come from working with this deeper level of consciousness.

Through hypnosis, you can explore the emotional roots of your symptoms that you might not have been aware of. This method works directly with the brain's emotional center, allowing you to process trauma that doesn’t have a clear memory or words associated with it. Research shows that trauma can be stored in the body, and hypnotherapy offers a way to heal these blockages without needing to fully understand them.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

Absolutely! Just like everyone is unique, people enter hypnosis differently. A skilled hypnotherapist will assess how you respond to various techniques and tailor their approach to best meet your individual needs.

How effective is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is highly effective, especially for issues where other therapies may struggle, such as anxiety, depression, stress, pain management, fears and phobias, sleep problems, and quitting smoking. Research shows that hypnosis often leads to better long-term recovery rates compared to psychoanalysis and CBT, and does so in a shorter time frame.

The American Psychological Association endorses hypnosis for treating pain, anxiety, and mood disorders, as well as helping people break negative habits. Studies reveal that hypnosis can reduce pain by lowering activity in the brain’s anterior cingulate cortex, which processes pain signals. In fact, research indicates that hypnosis may be more effective than standard medical care for pain relief during labor and childbirth.
