| FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION IS THERE ANY DANGER WITH HYPNOSIS? The only way hypnosis could be dangerous would be if it were used to take away pain. For example, if a person were to be hypnotically released from the pain of a stomach ache, he would not have the pain to let him know that there may be a  medical problem. That also include pains such as headaches, and body pain of any kind. If a medical doctor has ruled out any physical reasons as to why you have the pains, then it is acceptable to work with someone with their physicians permission. It has been noted that after most hypnotic sessions, people report that they sleep better at night and are more relaxed during their daily life.WHAT IS HYPNOSIS? To explain hypnosis, it might be best to explain what hypnosis is not. When a person is hypnotized, they are not asleep or unconscious, they are in a state of sleepy alertness similar to daydreaming. The hypnotized individual is aware of everything that is taking place. Even after being brought out of hypnosis, a person will be able to recall anything that took place during the session. Hypnosis is a very normal, natural state that most of us experience every day. An example of daily hypnosis would be driving a car and realizing that you can't remember the last three or four streets you just passed. Perhaps you drove right by your exit! Another example would be a person watching television. When another member of the family enters and announces that dinner is ready, the person watching television doesn't respond! These are examples of a light hypnotic state. In both cases the conscious part of the mind had been distracted, allowing the subconscious part of the mind to take over. During a hypnotic session, an individual will achieve a very deep and successful state of hypnosis. The following are questions that are frequently asked by individuals prior to being hypnotized. |

WILL I DO SOMETHING AGAINST MY WILL? When you are hypnotized, you are aware of all suggestions given to you, and you will not do anything that you are opposed to doing. You will never go against your true values.. CAN I BE TRICKED WHILE IN HYPNOSIS? A person can not be tricked into doing something under hypnosis any easier than they could in a conscious state. And a person cannot be hypnotized against their will. IS HYPNOSIS HABIT FORMING? No. Hypnosis is a very enjoyable state of relaxation, but a person never becomes addicted to hypnosis. WHO CAN BE HYPNOTIZED? Just about anyone can be hypnotized, from the very young to the very elderly. WHAT IF YOU CAN'T BRING ME OUT OF IT? There is no danger of a person failing to come out of the hypnotic state. In fact, it would be impossible to remain hypnotized. Even if the hypnotist left the office while an individual was in the hypnotic state, there would be no danger. The person would drift off into a natural state of sleep and would awaken after they rested. Just as you are in no danger of being stuck while in a daydream. |
