There are only three types of people that cannot be hypnotized:
- A person in a psychotic process or with a thought disorder

be hypnotized, you can enter at least a light state of hypnosis anytime
you wish. Actually, hypnotizability is a sign of intelligence and was
used extensively by such brilliant authors as Aldous Huxley. Learn to
navigate in that "in-between", dream-like state, which is
part of the normal repertory of human consciousness, and you will be
amazed at your hidden abilities and strengths! In a private session,
it just becomes a question of how deep are you willing to go in the
presence of another person. Most people readily outsource their daily
trance to the biggest hypnotizer of all time: television. And with 60%
of TV commercials about junk food, it is no wonder why so many Americans

- Can children benefit from hypnotherapy?
Yes. Children from 6 to 16 can be treated, but only with the consent
and in the presence of their parent or guardian. Anyone between 16 and
18 must have written consent from a parent or guardian. They can be
helped with, for example, exam nerves, shyness, motivation. The number
and duration of sessions will be agreed with the parent/guardian.
- Can I be made to do anything or say anything I don’t want to
under hypnosis?
No. You are always in control and conscious of your surroundings. You
hear everything that is going on; nothing happens without your consent.
The hypnotherapist provides a safe, supportive environment for you while
helping you relax and make the positive, beneficial changes you choose
for yourself.
- What does being in trance feel like?
The hypnotherapist guides you into a trance state, usually by asking
you to simply close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing. As
you become more and more relaxed you may be aware of sinking deeper
into the chair. You may feel distant but you continue to hear everything
that is going on around you as you pay more and more attention to the
sound of the therapist’s voice. The therapist then gently guides
you into an increasingly deeper state of relaxation when your subconscious
mind will be most receptive to positive, beneficial suggestions. After
treatment you awake feeling refreshed and positive.
