Frequently asked questions

YES! As with anything in life – what you are wiling to invest determines what you receive. Both scientific studies and anecdotal evidence will back the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, National Institutes of Health, American Medical Association, American Psychological Association and many more reputable organizations support the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. 

Hypnotherapy gives you space to momentarily shut out the outside world and become better acquainted with your inner world – your thoughts, beliefs and emotions. Our subconscious mind accounts for 95% of our mind power.  Increasing awareness of the beliefs that drive your emotions and behavior and affect your judgment will help you navigate life with greater confidence. Hypnotherapy empowers you to uncover and transform your beliefs so you experience the emotions and outcomes you choose. 

Applications for hypnotherapy are incredibly vast! Anything involving your mind can be assisted with hypnotherapy. Personal goals and self-development, transforming unwanted behaviors or undesirable mental and emotional patterns, calming worries and concerns, creating calm before medical or dental procedures, and the list goes on and on. Please reach out if you have any questions about something specific and we can address your questions.  

Some people ask, "What if I cannot be hypnotized?"  It’s actually a very natural state we enter into at various times in a day. Everyone has experienced hypnosis.  Whenever you day-dream, get lost in a book, a movie, tv show, work project or hobby, you are in a state of hypnosis.  Ever arrive at your destination and realize you were driving on autopilot?  That is referred to as highway-hypnosis.  

For decades, the media has portrayed hypnosis as a sort of mind-control technique. No one can make you do anything you don’t want to do. You will always have your agency to choose. Incredibles 2 was a family favorite movie for sure, but also a good example of how the media has portrayed hypnosis as a  state of helplessness where a person can be controlled. Like most aspects of Hollywood films, it is completely fictitious and the opposite is true. Hypnotherapy will teach you how to take more control of your mind and of your life!
