Probably the most asked question of all time in the Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis world apart from will you be able to make me dance like a chicken.

This is not such an easy question to answer as Hypnotherapy/Hypnosis is a personal state and can vary from person to person. Basically all hypnosis is, is an altered state of awareness with complete relaxation which is induced by the Hypnotherapist or on your own.

Imagine early in the morning when you are in your own comfy bed and in that relaxed state when you are not quite asleep but not fully awake either. The time in which you drift in and out of consciousness and when you dream your wonderful dreams. You are totally relaxed and at this point and in my opinion it is at this time that best describes how it feels to be hypnotised.

Let’s address the dancing like a chicken question whilst we are at it. This is another myth of Hypnosis as at no point during trance do you lose control despite what stage hypnotists might tell you.

At every point during your Hypnotherapy session you will be able to hear what your hypnotherapist is saying. If at any point your Hypnotherapist asks you to do something that is against your morals you would simply be able to open your eyes and stop your session. This is why during hypnosis stage shows they want people with no morals.

To summarise during a hypnotherapy session you are totally relaxed able to hear everything that is being said to you whilst remaining in complete control at all times. It would probably be the most enjoyable relaxing experience of your life and 99% of clients return time and time again it is that enjoyable.
