Hypnosis Q&A
It all depends on the condition and problem. For a long-lasting, consistent habit, such as smoking, weight management, 3-4 sessions along with a 7-10-day self-maintenance phase, in which you listen to an audio daily after each session, after each session will be the standard. For other general issues, one session followed by a 21-day self-maintenance phase, in which you listen to an audio daily is most common. Because it takes at least 21 days for our hidden mind (subconscious and unconscious mind) to be reconditioned, it is essential for any hypnosis session to be followed by your self-maintenance period to listen to an audio.
Through a hypnosis session, a personalized approach is used to tap into your hidden consciousness, directly recondition your perceptions of past experiences, shift your mind to more desirable ones, and reprogram your thoughts. Although hypnosis is a powerful and efficient technique by itself, every hypnosis session has to be followed by a self-maintenance period of listening to an audio for our mind to be fully reconditioned. A hypnosis session is like a weekend fasting, which gives you a quick reconditioning. However, if you go back to eating junk food, the result from fasting won’t last. However, if you start eating well for a period of time without fasting, it’ll also give you a nice result in your health. Listening to a hypnosis audio without a session is like starting a healthy daily diet, but fasting to begin with your healthy diet, of course, will have a faster result. Also, taking a hypnosis session will come with not only a personalized audio but also follow-up texts and calls to help you keep up with your self-maintenance phase because it’s not always easy to stick to listening to audio every day. However, if you’re a disciplined person, purchasing an audio and listening to it every day for at least 21 days will certainly help you condition your mind to provide great results.
Yes, it works for anyone who understands what the hypnotist is saying and is willing to imagine what is said. Although some people are able to go into hypnosis more quickly and more deeply than others, most people can go into at least a light trance, which is enough for a hypnosis session. Only if you’re not willing and if you have a need to prove it won’t work, then it may not work.
No. Unlike some scenes in fictional stories, nobody can be hypnotized against their will. During any hypnosis session, the client’s conscious mind still exists and they’re still in control, not the hypnotist. It is about working together so that the client can be empowered to create change in their life. Nobody can be forced to do anything against their will even through hypnosis.
There’s no such thing as being stuck in hypnosis. Nobody has ever been stuck in hypnosis, and it simply cannot happen. Because you’re still in control during hypnosis, if you want to come out of hypnosis you simply choose to do so. We go in and out of hypnotic states many times a day (dozing off, daydreaming, zone into something, etc.), but we always come back out of them easily and naturally.
Many things can be helped by hypnosis, such as treating additions, controlling body weight, managing chronic pain, reducing stress, dealing with childhood issues, curing sleep disorders, changing behaviors, recovering buried memories, treating anxiety and depression, etc.
