❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnotherapy
🧠 What Is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. It’s a natural and powerful form of mind-body medicine.
A trained hypnotherapist guides you into this state using verbal cues, repetition, and imagery, helping you tune out distractions and become more receptive to positive suggestions — all aimed at improving your well-being.
🎭 Is Hypnotherapy Like “Stage” Hypnosis?
Not at all.
Stage hypnosis is for entertainment.
Hypnotherapy is for healing and personal development.
Stage performers rely on autosuggestion and audience expectation. Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, brings you into a deep, safe, relaxed state where you remain in full control and are guided with therapeutic intent.
🧬 How Does Hypnosis Work?
Although not fully understood, here’s what happens during hypnosis:
Your conscious mind quiets down
You access your unconscious mind, where beliefs, emotions, habits, and memories are stored
This makes you more receptive to positive change
Hypnosis helps create new habits — for example, not smoking or avoiding certain foods — by modifying the subconscious patterns driving unwanted behaviour.
👁 If I’m Hypnotised, Do I Lose Control?
Absolutely not.
Being in hypnosis is like being absorbed in a great book or movie — you’re focused, but always in control. You can speak, move, or end the session at any time.
Your hypnotherapist acts as a guide, but the power to change is yours. Most people find the experience pleasant, empowering, and very relaxing.
⏳ How Long Do Hypnotic Suggestions Last?
Hypnotic changes typically last 2–12 weeks. But the goal of hypnotherapy is to form new habits — not just temporary change.
Example: “I stopped eating chocolate 17 years ago through hypnotherapy. It became my habit not to want it — and I never bought chocolate again.”
😌 What Does It Feel Like to Be Hypnotised?
Most describe it as similar to daydreaming — you’re aware, relaxed, and often surprised at how normal it feels. Some people hear every word, others drift in and out. You don’t need to be deeply relaxed for it to work — but many find it calming and enjoyable.
🌐 What Happens if We Lose Internet Connection?
No worries!
Most people remain aware during hypnosis and can easily bring themselves out of it if the connection drops. Even if someone falls asleep, their unconscious mind will naturally wake them within minutes. It’s impossible to get “stuck” in hypnosis.

❗ Is Success Guaranteed?
Like all forms of therapy, success cannot be guaranteed. The therapist is your guide — you are the one creating the change.
The more committed and open you are to the process, the greater your chances of success.
📈 How Effective Is Hypnotherapy?
According to a study by Alfred A. Barrios (1970), comparing over 2,000 therapy articles:
Hypnotherapy showed a 93% success rate after just 6 sessions
Behavioural therapy had a 72% success rate after 22 sessions
Psychotherapy showed 38% success after 600 sessions
Hypnotherapy is not only effective — it’s fast and lasting.
