Hypnosis FAQs
AM I ASLEEP WHEN I’M IN HYPNOSIS?
No. Even though the word “hypnosis” comes from the greek word meaning “sleep”, you are fully awake when you are in hypnosis.
WHAT DOES BEING IN HYPNOSIS FEEL LIKE?
Hypnosis is a natural state. In fact, you experience this state everyday. It’s that feeling that you pass through right when you wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night. Tomorrow when you wake up notice how nice that feeling is…you know…the one kind of between your sleep state and awake state…sometimes it feels kind of hazy and you can also be aware of someone if they are speaking nearby.
Sometimes people experience “Highway Hypnosis” too. This occurs when you are driving and realize that you haven’t remember the past few miles.
SO IT’S KIND OF LIKE MEDITATION?
Yes. The main difference is that rather than letting your mind wander, you are
focusing your attention the entire time you are in hypnosis.
CAN I GET STUCK IN HYPNOSIS?
No. You can open your eyes at any time.
WILL I REMEMBER THINGS WHEN I OPEN MY EYES?
Yes. If you want to.
CAN YOU MAKE ME REVEAL ANY SECRETS WHEN I’M IN HYPNOSIS?
No. The US Government tried this. It didn’t work.
CAN YOU TAKE CONTROL OF MY MIND AND MAKE ME DO THINGS I DON’T WANT TO?
No. If I could, I would have hypnotized my teens to happily clean their rooms every day. I tried. It didn’t work.
CAN EVERYONE BE HYPNOTIZED?
Young children, people high on drugs or alcohol, and those with developmental disabilities are not good candidates for hypnosis.
HOW WILL I KNOW IF I’M A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR HYPNOSIS?
Good question. As long as you want to experience hypnosis, you will.
IS THERE ANY RESEARCH ABOUT HYPNOSIS?
I’m glad you asked. There are over 5,000 research studies on the subject.
DO YOU THINK THAT HYPNOSIS WILL HELP ME?
In my experience, as long as you want to make a change, then hypnosis is the easiest way to create the change you want.
