Is hypnosis safe, and can someone get “stuck” in hypnosis?2024-11-24T18:13:24+00:00

Hypnosis is a natural process where you remain fully conscious and in control. It’s no more possible to get “stuck” in hypnosis than it is to get stuck in a daydream.
In fact, most people enter self-hypnotic states every day without realizing it—while driving, reading, watching TV, or even when working on the computer. These states of focus, similar to daydreaming, are perfectly natural and common. During hypnosis, you’ll be aware of sounds around you, but they won’t distract you, just as background noises often fade into the periphery in everyday situations. Every hypnosis experience is unique to each individual.

Will I lose control over what I say or do in a hypnosis session?2024-11-24T18:13:51+00:00

No, you won’t act against your values or interests. Hypnosis is a safe process where you stay aware and can make choices throughout. However, for true healing, connecting with your emotions is essential, as unresolved experiences (from this life or even a past one) often need to be re-experienced in a controlled way to release the trapped energy.
The initial interview before the hypnosis session helps build trust and gives you a chance to address any questions or concerns. A foundation of trust and respect is key to a successful hypnosis experience.

I tried hypnosis before and didn’t feel “under.” Will this be different?2024-11-24T18:14:12+00:00

It’s common for people to have certain expectations about what hypnosis “should” feel like, and that can sometimes interfere with the session. Hypnosis is not sleep—you’ll be fully aware and conscious of everything happening around you.
If you felt you weren’t hypnotized in a previous experience, it might be due to expecting a sleep-like state or not fully understanding what hypnosis actually feels like. Trust and rapport with your hypnotherapist are essential to feeling safe and letting go. Most people stay aware throughout the session and recall what they experienced, sometimes thinking they “made it up.” Others may feel as though they were asleep and miss parts of the session, though their subconscious still engages in the process.
You’ll receive a video recording of the session to review later, which often reveals deeper insights and reinforces the wisdom gained from the experience.

What is a past life regression?2024-11-24T18:14:51+00:00

Past Life Regression is a therapeutic technique where an individual is guided to recall and explore memories from previous lifetimes. The process involves navigating through significant events of a past life, from the initial scene to various life stages, culminating in the death scene. The Higher Consciousness selects the past life most relevant to your current experiences, providing insights that can help address present-life challenges. During the session, the practitioner asks questions to help determine the time period and social setting of the life.

What is the higher self?2024-11-24T18:15:17+00:00

The Higher Self is the part of you that possesses infinite wisdom and knowledge about your existence. Unlike the subconscious mind, which may harbor unresolved issues, the Higher Self is a vast resource of intelligent insight that can bring meaning and fulfillment to your life. It can answer any question you have and provide comfort, support, and understanding in various areas of your life. The Higher Self shares information that is appropriate and beneficial for you at the time. It can also facilitate physical and emotional healing, either instantly or over time, continuing its work days, weeks, or even months after your session.

Will I remember anything?2024-11-24T18:15:38+00:00

Some individuals recall parts of their session, while others may not remember the experience in detail. To ensure you can revisit the insights gained, the session is audio-recorded, and you will receive a copy to listen to at your convenience. Reviewing your session allows you to fully digest the wisdom and insights obtained, which is an essential part of the healing process.

Will I lose control of what I say or do during a session?2024-11-24T18:21:04+00:00

No, you will not lose control during a session. Your Higher Self will never act against your best interests or values. While you may be in a deeply relaxed state that affects your memory and conscious interaction at times, you will not say or do anything that leaves you feeling exposed or vulnerable. You remain in control throughout the process. During the initial interview, you will have the opportunity to get to know your hypnotherapist, address any concerns, and learn about the integrity and respect that are vital to the process.

What can a past life regression do for me?2024-11-24T18:21:34+00:00

A Past Life Regression can provide explanations for current difficulties and challenges, helping you find appropriate solutions. It can uncover the root causes of unexplained emotions, anxieties, and fears that may be overwhelming you. By understanding these underlying issues, you can gain clarity and work towards resolving them, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

How many sessions are typically needed for complete treatment?2024-11-24T18:22:11+00:00

Most individuals find that one session is sufficient. Additional sessions are available if desired, and I can guide you in reaching a relaxed state more quickly for follow-ups, which will make them shorter. I also offer a significant discount for these subsequent sessions due to their reduced duration.

Will it matter if I don’t believe in past lives or reincarnation?2024-11-24T18:22:43+00:00

No, your beliefs aren’t required for the Higher Self to work. The Higher Self is the source of all answers and can offer valuable guidance regardless of your personal beliefs. Our minds—especially our subconscious—are innately geared toward helping us achieve balance, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of ourselves.

What’s the best mindset for my hypnosis session?2024-11-24T18:23:11+00:00

It’s best to approach your session with an open mind and childlike curiosity, without any specific expectations. Letting go of preconceived notions allows the experience to unfold naturally, often bringing pleasant and unexpected insights.

What will I experience while in a hypnotic trance?2024-11-24T18:23:43+00:00

At no point are you asleep or unaware. Experiences can manifest as sounds (auditory), images (visual), or physical sensations (kinesthetic). No one under hypnosis acts against their moral code or ethics. If someone behaves in a certain way under hypnosis, it’s because they could have done so consciously. Bringing a trusted friend or family member can also enhance your comfort during the session, minimizing any concerns.
