Frequently Asked Questions
Eighty to ninety percent of the work in hypnosis is accomplished in the light to medium stages of hypnosis.
During hypnosis, the individual is always conscious and aware of everything that is occurring. Therefore, in the same manner that he guards his secrets while awake, he also protects his secrets while hypnotized.
The hypnotist or the individual can always terminate the hypnotic state, easily and quickly.
Hypnosis is not sleep. The hypnotized individual is always aware of what is occurring; in fact, his awareness actually increases.
There is no evidence that hypnosis will damage the nervous system, or in any other way adversely affect the physical and mental well-being of an individual.
Studies have shown that intelligence is not an important factor in determining an individual's ability to respond to hypnosis.
The hypnotist does not possess any unusual powers of the mind. He is a person, very much like yourself, except that he understands certain aspects of the human mind that are not known to most people. He has also learned to master the art of suggestion, which he uses to guide the individual toward developing greater awareness and control of the hypnotic state.
The cost of a hypnosis session can vary from hypnotist to hypnotist. Some hypnosis centers also offer package bundles for multiple session discounts. It's best to contact the individual hypnosis center to discuss depending on the specific services you are looking for.
During times of stress, fear, or even anxiety, hypnosis has shown to help people cope with these issues through both direct and indirect suggestions during the hypnosis session.
The plain and simple answer is yes. Hypnosis does work for weight loss. During hypnosis, suggestions can be made by a skilled hypnotist that can speed up the process that it would normally take a person months to form when trying to maintain a diet specific to weight loss.
Hypnosis can work after just a single session, or it can work after a few or multiple sessions. It depends on how quickly the client can learn the necessary hypnotic skills to respond, and the ability of the hypnotist to teach the client the skills. It also depends on what the session is addressing.
It's hardly surprising that many people are skeptical as to whether hypnosis is real or not. People mainly associate hypnosis with stage shows and others making a fool of themselves. However, this is only a tiny proportion of what hypnosis actually is. It's more about a person wanting to be hypnotized, being willing, and allowing themselves to participate, rather than someone having a power to hypnotize someone else. According to a study from Stanford University, about 10 percent of people are easily hypnotizable, while the rest of the population can also be hypnotized with the right approach.
