1. How does a client choose the right hypnotherapist?
Choosing the right health practitioner is essential for the peace of mind that will lead to healing and recovery. Just like any other relationship the client will want to feel that it is easy for them to trust that individual. When they arrive for their session, the space should feel comfortable and inviting. We teach students to become the type of therapist that the client can rely on to be professional. Here are some helpful questions to consider about a good hypnotherapist:

- Do they call you back after you leave a message?
- Do they offer a consultation before they begin the session?
- Do they encourage you to ask questions?
- Do they answer your questions about hypnotherapy knowledgeably and openly?
- Do they ask you questions that are relevant to your healing?
- Is your time and privacy respected?
- How will your sessions be conducted?
- Are they personalized sessions or standard scripts that are used over and over? Some of these may be appropriate but feel free to ask.
- What are their qualifications? There are three levels:(Basic Hypnosis, Master Hypnotist, and Hypnotherapist)

 

2. How does Hypnotherapy work?
Hypnosis can speed up the healing/change process because clients will deal directly with the subconscious mind where most of our issues reside. This allows for quick release of blocks, fears, or beliefs that are holding us back from being where we wish to be.

 

3. Will the client lose control?
The client can expect to feel utterly relaxed and in complete control. Hypnotherapist and client simply work together to put the client's conscious mind to rest, to allow the subconscious to make the changes necessary. The client will hear everything that either of you are saying or doing, and they will never do or say anything in hypnosis that they would not do out of hypnosis.

4. Will the hypnotherapist be able to program the client in a way that is harmful to the client?
There are some popular misconceptions about hypnotherapy, mostly because we are familiar with entertainment acts that have participants run around the stage at the whim of a hypnotist. This is not an accurate picture of hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is a healing practice undertaken by a certified Hypnotherapist who acts as a professional and gentle guide for the client to explore areas of their subconscious mind in a respectful, safe environment.

5. Will the client lose control and tell personal secrets?

Usually the client is in control and always has the choice, talks consciously, be able to select the suitable words and express by his/her normal strategy. However, client may discover some inner truths about his/ her self, or situation, or some self sabotage, which he/ she did not know about consciously.

6. Will the hypnotherapist be able to hypnotize the client without his/her agreement or knowledge?

Hypnosis is conjunction action and implemented by co-operating performance between the client and the hypnotherapist for that client agreement and cooperating is essential

7. What does Hypnotherapy feel like to the client?
During Hypnotherapy the client will be in a very deeply relaxed state. If they have previously practiced meditation, they will find that this is a much deeper version of that. If they have practiced the deep breathing associated with Yoga, they will have experienced the beginning of this deeply relaxed state. The altered state is something we all experience daily, the few minutes that we are waking up in the morning, and the few moments that we are drifting off to sleep each night.
Clients are extremely rested and calm after a Hypnotherapy session.

 

8. What if clients are fearful of what they will see or experience?
By choosing to undertake this kind of exploration with a professional hypnotherapist, clients are essentially hiring a guide that is professionally trained to spot trauma or difficulty. When a client experiences a fearful situation in hypnotherapy, there are specific techniques used by the hypnotherapist to immediately distance them from what they are experiencing. It is like watching a movie, or listening to the radio wherein they are an objective listener, rather than a participant in the drama. A good hypnotherapist will know how to recognize signs of physical or emotional trauma and will safely guide the client away from it.

 

 How soon will clients begin to feel better
Every experience is different. Generally speaking, the mind usually takes more than one session to release significant patterns. Sometimes patterns can be like layers on an onion, the next one appearing after the first is peeled away. Other times we clear what we need to immediately.

 

10. How many times does a client need to see their hypnotherapist?
Before we begin with the sessions the client and hypnotherapist have a consultation together. During this consultation the therapist will determine what the client wants to work on and at what intensity they would prefer to proceed. Based on experience with other clients, we typically recommend a consultation plus three to six sessions for permanent results. There are many reasons that permanent results may take more than one session. Sometimes patterns can take time to move. Sometimes people find it difficult to surrender to the feeling of relaxation or surrender their existing beliefs about healing or hypnosis. Some will insist, even while under hypnosis, that it is impossible for them to be hypnotized. The first couple of sessions are sometimes spent understanding those feelings.

 

11. Can it be combined with other therapies?
We believe in an integrated approach to wellness. Hypnotherapy is a gentle and noninvasive therapy that can be complimentary to many other therapies. We teach graduates to do a profile during the consultation and ask about other therapies that the client may be undergoing. We always recommend that they let their other practitioners know that they are working with hypnotherapy.

12. Does hypnosis type sufficient as getting live session with hypnotherapist?

Type gives repeated positive suggestions which lead for noticeable improvement and may lead to recovery, while the cause of the problem is still there and may appear again some day.
