What if I can’t be hypnotised? Everyone can be hypnotised who is of sound mind. Will I remember anything? You will remember everything that happens throughout the session. You will be fully alert throughout the session, more so than in normal wakefulness. Can I be influenced to do anything against my will? No. You can not be made to do anything you do not want to do; you are in full control throughout the session and can open you eyes at any time. How does hypnosis feel? The hypnotic state is a state of extreme relaxation. Many people describe a feeling of wonderful relaxation for the body whilst their mind is hyper-alert. My problem is embarrassing, how will you deal with it? There are few problems that haven’t already been treated. All aspects of treatment are strictly confidential. I am not sure that hypnotherapy is right for me - how can I find out? Take advantage of the free no-obligation Initial Consultation - a chance for you to get all your questions answered by the therapist who will be treating you. I have a phobia of spiders - will my therapy include being in the same room as a spider or having to hold one? With many phobia treatments you are made to 'face your fear'. At Elliott Hypnotherapy you can be reassured that this will never happen - you will never be made to hold a snake, climb a ladder, take a flight, be in an enclosed space or whatever it is that causes you anxiety. The idea is that after therapy you can choose to do so with out any of the negative emotion or reaction attached and will be so far removed from the phobia that you may even be in contact with the object or experience the situation without even realising until after the event that you actually showed no reaction or felt any fear at all! Why does some therapy take up to eight sessions when I have people 'cured' on TV in minutes? This is a common question during an initial consultation and one that is answered quite easily. When you see the 'cure' taking place on TV there has often been considerable preparation work before hand. What you see just a snapshot of what is taking place. The therapists are most commonly using suggestion therapy - the effects of which are relatively temporary and shortlived and it is the delivery of these suggestions that you see happening on screen. Some kind of follow up to this short burst of therapy is necessary to ensure that there is no symptom substitution and that results are lasting. Applying suggestion therapy alone is rather like putting a plaster on a wound or taking painkillers - you eliminate the symptom but the underlying cause still remains. For relief to be permanent and to avoid the emergence of the root cause in a new symptom, this cause needs to be addressed. Commonly, the therapy seemingly given in minutes will in fact take place over a few hours. With a longer course of therapy you are experiencing short bursts of therapy over a longer period, often totalling the equivalent of around eight hours... less than 1 day, but you are completely eliminating the root cause and any possible related symptoms.
