What is hypnosis?
It's a normal, natural state of mind we all experience many times in our lives when we are day dreaming, reading a book, watching TV or undertaking activities such as dancing.
Will I have to speak or tell you everything about my past or my problems?
No, only as much as you want or required as part of your treatment plan.
Do you read my mind?
No, I have no mystical or magical powers.
I have heard that those who can be hypnotised are weak minded?
A modern scare story and misconception which is simply untrue.
Hypnosis is caused by the hypnotist?
A hypnotherapist has no special powers. The only power they have is the ability to communicate in a dynamic and focused way.
Will I know what's happening?
Absolutely. When people are in a hypnotic state they can talk, feel, hear, taste and smell. Everyone is different and may have different positive experiences. At all times you will remain in control while under hypnosis.
Will I tell you things I don't want to reveal?
No, you are very much in control of what you say.
Will I remember things afterwards?
Most people can remember something of what is said whilst in trance, we all experience hypnosis differently.
Will it work for me?
It can work for those people who want to make positive changes in their lives with the guidance of a compassionate hypnotherapist with whom you can feel comfortable.
How many sessions will I need?
Everyone is an individual and each client will have their treatment plan tailored specifically for them.
Does it work for everyone?
It can work on those who want to make changes in their lives.
Do I have to continue treatment forever?
No, it usually takes a certain number of sessions depending on the individual and the nature of the problem.
How will I know how susceptible I am to hypnosis?
Every client will have a susceptibility indicator to check for their readiness and ability to enter into the hypnotic trance at the start of their treatment plan.
Can I be hypnotised to say something against my will?
Definitely not.
Why don’t you do the Gastric Band when other hypnotherapists do?
Gastric band hypnotherapy does not deal with the underlying cause of the weight issue, it only treats the symptom.
How do I know you are properly trained?
I have been trained by the Australian College of Hypnotherapy, a government Recognised Training Organisation, and I am a member of the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists (ASCH) and the Australian Hypnotherapy Association (AHA) which recognises the high quality training I have received under the inspirational teacher Rhondda Stewart.
