WHAT EVERY CLIENT SHOULD KNOW ABOUT HYPNOSIS
"Will hypnosis work for me...?"
Generally speaking, every normal person is hypnotizable--that is, people with an I.Q. of at least 70 who have no severe mental disorders. Therefore, most anyone can take advantage of our services. With your cooperation and a reasonable commitment, you can expect excellent results with our hypnosis programs.
"How does hypnosis work...?"
Our minds work on two levels - conscious and subconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The subconscious controls our habits. In hypnosis the conscious mind is subdued, while the subconscious becomes more aware. Positive suggestions given by the hypnotist are readily accepted in this altered state. Also, the subconscious is not subject to time. This is why our clients often state that their new habits seem "easy" and "effortless" after hypnosis.
"How will I know I'm hypnotized...?"
Most people cannot tell the difference between a hypnotized state and a "waking" state. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel light, some have tingling in their fingers, and so on. If you're a little skeptical, don't worry. Most of our clients were a little skeptical at first. What took their skepticism away? They noticed inexplicable changes in their daily habits and behaviors!
"Is hypnosis safe...?"
Hypnosis is completely safe. You are in control at every moment and can terminate the hypnotic state at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep. You cannot get "stuck" in hypnosis. You cannot be made to do something against your will. Hypnosis is unique, relaxing and fun!
"How will hypnosis help me with fears/phobias and anxiety…?"
All fears and anxiety are unconscious responses to a particular situation or experience. It is illogical to the conscious mind and this is why people feel anxious when there is no “real threat or danger.” This is also why trying to “think or talk” your way through a fearful experience usually fail. The reason being is that our conscious mind is not equipped to effectively handle a fearful response. Hypnosis, however, works by going to the source of the problem which is the unconscious mind. It works by programming the unconscious mind to eliminate the source of fears, as well as, build a mindset of calmness, power and confidence.
"Is hypnosis effective in controlling drug and alcohol addictions…?"
Yes it is. Substance abuse is essentially the result of unconscious self damaging habits and self degrading thought patterns. Although an addictive person understands intellectually that substance abuse is unhealthy; the unconscious urge is often too powerful to consciously override. Hypnosis is effective in this matter because it works to directly minimize the physical urges, as well as, change the deep seated negative thinking; which tends to worsen the addiction. Our programs are designed to not only break addictive habits, but also, to raise one’s self esteem and value so that the individual has a more positive and healthier sense of self.
"How does hypnosis help to accelerate learning…?"
The unconscious mind is far more powerful and faster than the conscious mind. Hypnosis helps you to work with your unconscious mind in a greater way so that you can speed up your ability to receive, process, and learn information. The conscious mind’s capacity to learn is limited and this is why people often feel frustrated, stressed and overwhelmed when studying. Hypnosis helps to reduce some major stumbling blocks to learning such as stress and frustration. Moreover, it helps the individual to develop positive study habits such as, calmness, focus, discipline and concentration.
"Can I improve my game with Hypnosis…?"
A major element of playing like a pro is confidence, ability and focus. All professional athletes have one thing in common; they have a winning mindset and the skills to back it up. With hypnosis we can help the individual to break any patterns that are weakening their game and also eliminate any negative or fearful thinking. Furthermore, we help to strengthen their confidence and create a winning mindset. If you think like a champion you will be a champion.
"How will hypnosis help me lose weight...?"
Hypnosis can help you change your strategies for eating. If you ate only when you were hungry and stopped when you were full, you would not have a weight problem. Hypnosis programs these "correct" eating strategies into the subconscious. This is why our clients report new behaviors that feel "natural" upon awakening.
"Can hypnosis really help me kick my smoking habit...?"
Because smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the subconscious. Since hypnosis works directly with the subconscious, it is the only method that makes sense. Our skilled hypnotists can help you eliminate the habitual triggers that cause you to light up. The deep relaxation associated with hypnosis usually eliminates the emotional turmoil related to quitting. For most, hypnosis creates an effortless transition to the healthful lifestyle of a non-smoker.
