Holistic Hypnotherapy - Frequently Asked Questions
- 01 What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of altered awareness during which our subconscious mind is more open and receptive to suggestions that are given. We drift in and out of different levels of awareness many times a day, absorbing information on a subliminal level as well as consciously.
- 02 What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis + therapy. We all have a conscious mind and a mind. The subconscious mind is the "software"- it runs all of the "programmes". It thinks that it is helping you and protecting you. The subconsious mind is an automatic response.
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to implement the therapy that each client needs.
- 03 How will I feel during a Hypnotherapy session?
Everyone is different. Some people say that their body feels like a lead weight, others say they feel as though they're floating. Most people will agree that it's a lovely feeling because they are more relaxed than they have ever been before.
- 04 Can I be hypnotised against my will?
No, anyone can resist and it won't work. Hypnosis is cooperation between two people - your therapist will show you the way and you can choose if you want to go there or not.
ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF HYPNOSIS-you as a client choose to go into hypnosis.
- 05 When I am ‘under’ will I be asleep?
You will be aware of everything that is happening and being said the whole time. However you will be so deeply relaxed that you may find yourself drifting into different levels of awareness. Remember, your subconscious mind is active throughout and it is this that your therapist is working with.
You do not fall asleep during hypnosis as you will be sat up.
- 06 Will I lose control?
Contrary to popular opinion the practitioner has no “special powers”, nor can they “control” the subject in any way that is foreign to their nature, ethics or will. The client is always in control and if they wanted could come out of the hypnotic state at any time. The practitioner's function is that of a guide within a shared experience.
ALL HYPNOSIS IS SELF HYPNOSIS!
- 07 Will I give away any secrets whilst I am hypnotised?
There is often a fear that you will be “commanded” to say or do things you do not wish to. This does not occur in Advanced Hypnotherapy. Generally the unconscious mind is very protective and will allow only as much communication in a trance as can be dealt with by the mind. You will not say or do anything at all that you don't want to. If you were given suggestions that you didn't morally agree with you would come out of hypnosis.
- 08 Are there any side effects from hypnosis?
None what so ever. Hypnosis is a perfectly natural state of awareness that you experience every day at times such as when you engrossed in a television programme or a good book.
- 09 Can you guarantee success?
No, no one can, but the success rate is very high when the client co-operates fully and sees the therapy through to its completion. Holistic therapies can never claim to cure. If you would like an insight into how the therapies have benefited some of our clients however please see the testimonials page.
- 10 I have seen another Hypnotherapist before and that didn’t work, why?
It could be for a number of reasons, such as incompatibility between you and the Therapist. There are also many different techniques and approaches, perhaps the particular approach they used did not suit you personally.
This is why I always offer a no obligation 30 - 45 minutes FREE initial consultation, not just to give out information and answer any questions but to assess compatibility between myself and the client.
I must stress that I am a HOLISTIC hypnotherapist, so during this consultation I will be looking at ALL areas of your life; not just the problem that you have come to see me for.
This means that the success rate is likely to be much higher as we are covering all grounds.
This is the main difference between a holistic hypnotherapist and a hypnotherapist.

- 01 What is holistic health care?

Reiki has far more applications and functions than other “energy” healing. The quality and clarity of the received waves are crystal clear. The healer does not use his/her own energy to heal.

- 08 Are there any sensations during or after the Reiki treatment?
It depends on the individual. You might not feel anything, but this does not mean that Reiki is not working . On the other hand, you might have sensations during or after the treatment such as: heat, cold, tingling in parts of the body, feelings of relaxation, sleepiness, or other. It may happen also that the symptoms worsen after the treatment, but just for a short period of time, after which you will feel wonderful. It is important to drink lots of water to aid the cleansing of the body.
- 09 Is there anything else I can do for my health?
Yes, of course! Self-care is very-very important. You should pay attention to your diet, exercise regularly (even daily walks do wonder), relax, meditate, do yoga, do imagery exercises...educate yourself, experiment and find out what is the best for you.
