Who Can Be Hypnotized?

Everyone is capable of becoming hypnotized, however, they must WANT to become hypnotized in order to achieve hypnosis. I can never hypnotize someone that is not willing.

Will I Get Stuck?

It is not possible to become “stuck” in hypnosis. The worst case scenario is that you could become so deeply relaxed that you fall asleep.

Is It Dangerous?

There is only one way hypnosis can be dangerous. Although using hypnosis for pain control can be a very useful and helpful tool, it can be dangerous if not used responsibly.  Blocking pain can block symptoms which in turn can lead to dangerous health issues.  Therefore, hypnosis for pain control is only used with a doctor’s release to do so.

Will you make me do things I don’t want to do?

Hypnosis does not cause people to lose the ability to make decisions as they normally would.  At no time would a hypnotized person lose control.  Remember the explanation of “highway hypnosis”?  Think about when you are in that state.  You are consciously thinking about whatever it is you are thinking about but not really paying attention to driving right?  Well, if a big truck pulled out right in front of you, you would certainly be aware of it!  Your subconscious mind would bring this to your conscious awareness and you would act appropriately.  The hypnotic state in the office is the same thing.  Your subconscious mind never stops protecting you at anytime.

Most importantly you must know that you are able to make decisions just as easily while you are hypnotized as when you are not.  Think about it…. if anyone possessed the ability to MAKE people do things they didn’t want to do, we would certainly not be living in the world we live in.  If I had the ability to MAKE people do things they didn’t want to do, well……

Will I tell you my secrets?

No.  Just as stated before, a person does not lose control under hypnosis and therefore would not say anything they did not want to say.

Can Children Be Hypnotized?

Yes! Children respond and benefit from hypnosis greatly! Change work with children includes but is not limited to test anxiety, bed wetting, biting fingernails, increased confidence, concentration, and more. The only requirement is that the child must be willing to be hypnotized follow a few simple instructions.
