Frequently Asked Questions
Can I fall asleep? Am I going to wake up?
During a hypnotherapy session, you may experience deep relaxation that feels similar to sleep, but you won’t actually be asleep. Instead, you’ll enter a focused state of awareness, where you can engage with suggestions and therapeutic processes while remaining fully aware and in control.
When you sleep, you can still hear various sounds around you. For example, parents often wake up to the sound of a crying baby in another room. This phenomenon highlights the mind’s ability to remain partially aware even during deep sleep, allowing you to respond to important stimuli in your environment. Understanding this can be beneficial when considering the effects of relaxation techniques like hypnotherapy, where you may achieve a similar state of heightened awareness.
Absolutely! I will guide you back to full awareness at the end of the session, ensuring you feel refreshed and alert.
How does it feel to have a hypnosis relaxation session online?
Clients find online hypnosis (trance) relaxation sessions to be just as effective and enjoyable as in-person ones. You may experience deep relaxation, clarity, and a sense of calm, all from the comfort of your own space. The familiar environment can even enhance your ability to relax and connect during the session.
Does it work online?
Yes, hypnotherapy works effectively online! The techniques and strategies used in hypnotherapy can be adapted for virtual settings, allowing you to benefit from the process regardless of your location. Many clients have successfully achieved their therapeutic goals through online sessions, making it a convenient and accessible option. We feel best in our own homes, saving valuable time on travel. This allows us to easily incorporate sessions into our calendars.
All you need is a phone or computer with a reliable internet connection. You can have something to drink and a blanket for comfort. Sometimes, clients use headphones for better audio quality. Of course, it’s important to have a quiet and peaceful space during the session, allowing for true relaxation. You can comfortably sit or lie down during the hypnosis, trance time (relaxation part of the session).
How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Are Needed?
The number of hypnotherapy sessions required varies significantly and depends on several factors that we discuss during your free initial consultation. This is also an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have, and I’ll be happy to provide answers before you decide on a session package.
Typically, a minimum of 6-8 sessions is recommended. However, in some cases, you may need 10-12 sessions for optimal results. The pace and process of hypnotherapy are influenced by a variety of factors, including the duration and complexity of the issues or habits you wish to address.
It’s important to understand that achieving lasting change is not a quick fix. If a problem or habit has been with you for a long time, it requires commitment, patience, and a series of small steps. Our brains need repetition to be retrained. We focus on recognizing small successes and finding joy in the process and the daily life. This means shifting our attention away from perfectionism and towards consistency in our actions.
By embracing this approach, we can ensure that the changes you seek are not only effective but also sustainable over time. Remember, the journey towards personal transformation is just as important as the destination.
