How long does it take to work?

Everyone responds to Hypnotherapy and Self-Hypnosis differently, just as people do to any form of therapeutic intervention.  Some people will notice an instant change, and for others it may take longer, but even when it feels as though nothing at all has actually happened, you’ll be surprised at just how much has changed, but this is only noticed in retrospect, when you look back at how you were before you started using self-hypnosis. Just give it time and don’t try too hard to make it happen. You will find that the more often you use self-hypnosis, the easier it is to achieve a very relaxed state of hypnosis, and the deeper the hypnotic trance state will become.

How and why does hypnotherapy produce results?

Hypnotherapy is simple, quick, non-invasive and long-lasting.

Hypnosis has been used for many years, and is now recognised by medical practitioners in the National Health Service; where it is being successfully used to control the symptoms of IBS. It has helped millions of people to stop smoking, lose weight, and conquer their phobias and fears, such as fear of the dentist, fear of driving and fear of flying.

Sometimes the subconscious mind stores information that is incorrect, non-productive, or negative and this can affect our lives. Once stored, these negative or non-productive ideas, thoughts, habits or beliefs, can be very difficult to get rid of. The aim of hypnosis to access the area of the mind where these are stored, and change them, replacing them with positive, calming, productive, relaxing affirmations, that connect with the conscious mind and help us feel better, achieve our goals, feel more confident, break unwanted habits and improve health.

When Hypnotherapy is used for improving health, the process can actually affect the way the body functions. By focusing on certain biological and physiological aspects of the body, whilst in a state of hypnosis, it is possible to cause blood to flow better, veins to dilate, heart rate to reduce, and white blood cells counts to increase, thus improving the immune system.

By simply listening to one of our self hypnosis recordings, you will become progressively more and more relaxed until you enter a deep, relaxed, hypnotic trance state, and as the body relaxes so does the mind. This deep state of relaxation, is the basis of all hypnotherapy work, and when you're in a deep, relaxed, state of hypnosis, you will be given 'post hypnotic anchors', which you can use when in a conscious wakeful sate to help activate the changes and maintain them.&in a deep, relaxed, state of hypnosis, you will be given 'post hypnotic anchors', which you can use when in a conscious wakeful sate to help activate the changes and maintain them. 

How often should I listen?

Self-Hypnosis should be practised daily for the first 7 days, thereafter, use it until your goal is achieved, or when you feel you need to re-affirm the goal you have already achieved. You cannot use self-hypnosis too much!

When should I listen to my hypnosis session?

You can listen to your self hypnosis session anytime you like, but NOT when driving, operating any machinery or carrying out any activity that requires concentration. You should also make sure that you won't be unnecessarily disturbed when you listen to your self hypnosis session. It is important that you allow yourself 40 - 45 minutes in a safe place with peace and quiet.

Will I be in control at all times?

Yes, most certainly, the trance state of Hypnosis can be broken at any time, you will still be able to hear everything, respond to others and be fully conscious to attend to anything that you need to.

What if I fall asleep?

If you hear the count-up at the end of the session, then you were not asleep, although it may have felt as though you were, and your subconscious mind has absorbed what it needs to. If you are unaware of the end of the recording, then it maybe that you entered into a deep state of sleep. If this the situation, you will have absorbed the information up to the point of sleeping, but not afterwards, so try listening in future in a more upright position, in a well lit room, when you are less tired.
