What To Expect From Your Hypnosis Session

What to expect in your hypnosis session

• The Hypnosis process can take anywhere from 45 - 60 minutes. Hypnosis relaxes you and your conscious critical faculty, thereby creating a suggestible state of mind that is not actively examining any suggestions put forward.
• I will be guiding you into a relaxed, comfortable frame of mind using a variety of techniques to change your external focus into an inner focussed state that we call- hypnotic ‘trance’. It helps to keep your eyes closed unless prompted to open them. In this state you more readily accept suggestions and thereby achieve change.
• You are always fully aware of what is being said and in control of your session. You are able to respond verbally if prompted to in this trance state. If you feel the need to end the session at any point, you may just open your eyes.
• There are different types of trance or relaxed focussed states. Some people easily experience very deep states of hypnosis right off the bat, while for others, a light state is comfortable. Know it is all good.
• If you allow yourself to relax as deeply as you can and are willing to listen without judgement, doubts and questioning, you will experience the benefits. This is a process. Each successive session gets easier since you know what to expect and have developed some level of trust with your practitioner.
• Hypnosis is a well documented and scientifically proven healing modality. Sometimes a change though, requires dealing with several related issues that might not get accomplished or might be overwhelming for the client in a single session.
• (Not available for trial priced sessions) You can avail of a short mp3 file to reinforce suggestions made during your session. This is not a recording of your entire session. Listening to it often (but never whilst operating heavy machinery or driving a motor vehicle) will reinforce desired change. A small charge will apply to any additions/modifications to the mp3 requested that are not within the scope discussed.

Hypnosis Liability Waiver

• I understand that hypnosis sessions are not psychotherapy but a therapeutic alternative* aimed at creating positive change in my life.
• I acknowledge that the hypnotist is not authorized to diagnose, prescribe, or cure physical or mental ailments that need a doctor/therapist. I agree to inform my hypnotist of all physical/mental conditions/medications that might affect his/her work with me.
• I realize that my success depends on my own commitment to improving the situation that brings me here.
• I understand that what brought me here did not happen overnight and sometimes a single session may not be enough to bring about / sustain the desired change.
• I release the hypnotist from any liability whatsoever regarding my hypnosis session. Any conclusions I draw from my session or responses I have, are mine & mine alone.

Hypnosis is a highly effective healing modality for most people. For some, it may be intense, and inner material may come up, both in and after sessions. This is actually a healing experience when viewed from that viewpoint. The best action to take is to call your hypnotist and get assistance. Most people find they have positive experiences.
