Hypnosis in and of itself is a very pleasant experience. It is a time to let go of the other thoughts of the day and focus on the issues you came to work on.

Scientists, medical professionals, psychologists and hypnotherapists have been using hypnosis for more than 200 years and no one has ever been hurt by simply going into hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy also is used to help you reach goals when nothing else has helped. See the Our Services section for a list of uses for hypnotherapy.

Self-hypnosis may also be part of a good hypnotherapy program. Ask your hypnotherapist if using self-hypnosis is recommended to help you reach your goals. 

Of course you can! You already have been. It’s easy to go into hypnosis and it is a normal state of mind that everyone has already experienced. 

In fact, hypnosis is such a normal state of mind, most people usually don’t even realize that they are hypnotized.

Normal, everyday hypnosis occurs when you are driving down the road and lose track of time, or when you are focusing on a book or television program and you don’t even notice something that is going on around you. 

When you come in for hypnosis, all you need to do is to be able to follow the instructions of the hypnotherapist and you can put the power of hypnosis to work for you.

Anyone of at least normal intelligence and the willingness to follow instructions can experience hypnosis and use it to improve his or her life. This includes children and teenagers.
