About Hypnosis

The American Psychological Association's Definition of Hypnosis

Hypnosis typically involves an introduction to the procedure during which the subject is told that suggestions for imaginative experiences will be presented. The hypnotic induction is an extended initial suggestion for using one's imagination, and may contain further elaborations of the introduction.
A hypnotic procedure is used to encourage and evaluate responses to suggestions. When using hypnosis, one person (the subject) is guided by another (the hypnotist) to respond to suggestions for changes in subjective experience, alterations in perception, sensation, emotion, thought or behavior.
Persons can also learn self-hypnosis, which is the act of administering hypnotic procedures on one's own. If the subject responds to hypnotic suggestions, it is generally inferred that hypnosis has been induced. Many believe that hypnotic responses and experiences are characteristic of a hypnotic state.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of awareness in which the listener is more inclined to accept outside suggestions. The hypnotic state heightens memory and perceptions and can act as a catalyst toward rapid healing, enhanced creativity and countless other beneficial changes

How Does Hypnosis Work?

The hypnotic state automatically occurs anytime you become deeply relaxed or highly focused. Hypnosis can occur while driving a car (that spaced out feeling), reading a book or watching a movie.

Will I remember the session?

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not sleep or a state of unconsciousness and you can expect to hear and remember 50 to 100% of what is said during the recording. Our clients maintain full control during a session and can freely choose to disregard any suggestions made. Hypnosis creates the perfect environment for you to do the things you want to do, but never makes you behave against your own belief system.
