What will my first session be like ?


Eye fixation as trance induction

First, I will share a little information about hypnosis, and answer the questions that you may have with regard to hypnotherapy. I will also get to know more about you and your goals.

.

After the necessary information has been gathered, we will begin the formal hypnotic induction. An "induction" is the procedure used to guide you into a hypnotic state. You will be seated in a comfortable recliner, asked to close your eyes, and relax. I will guide you verbally into hypnotic trance.

.

While you are in trance, we will work together to uncover any cause(s) that may have given rise to the issue, and resolve what is necessary. Subsequently, I may use metaphors as well as direct and indirect suggestions to help you make the necessary changes to accomplish your desired outcome. You will be aware of what is being said to you, can choose to accept or reject any suggestion, and will usually remember what happened during the session, although spontaneous amnesia for a session is fairly common.

.

We will end the session by bringing you out of the trance, and back to your everyday level of awareness.

How many sessions will I need ?


We each respond differently to situations, and so it is with hypnosis. Some people can achieve their goal within 1-3 sessions, whilst others need more help. That is part of being the unique person you are. However, with hypnotherapy, it usually takes much fewer sessions to make positive changes than with some other therapies. Therefore it can be very cost effective.
