🌟 FAQs about Hypnotherapy
Q1. What is hypnotherapy?
👉 Hypnotherapy is a gentle technique that uses relaxation and focused attention to reach the subconscious mind and bring positive changes in thoughts, feelings, or behaviours.
Q2. Will I lose control during hypnosis?
👉 Not at all. You stay aware and in charge throughout. Hypnotherapy is about guiding you, not controlling you.
Q3. Is it like sleep?
👉 It feels like a deeply relaxed state—not sleep. You can hear, talk, and even remember everything afterwards.
Q4. Can anyone be hypnotised?
👉 Most people can, if they’re open and willing. It’s a natural state—like getting lost in a movie or music.
Q5. What problems can hypnotherapy help with?
👉 It helps with anxiety, stress, sleep issues, habits (like smoking), fears, confidence, weight loss, and even pain.
Q6. How many sessions do I need?
👉 It varies. Some issues may need just 2–3 sessions; deeper ones may take more. Your therapist will guide you.
Q7. Is hypnotherapy safe?
👉 Absolutely. When done by a trained professional, it’s a safe and side-effect-free therapy.
Q8. Will I remember what happened?
👉 Yes. Most people remember the whole session clearly—it’s just deeply relaxing.
Q9. Can hypnotherapy replace medicine?
👉 No. It supports healing but doesn’t replace medical treatment. It works best as a complementary therapy.
Q10. Do I need to believe in it for it to work?
👉 Not “believe” like magic—just be open and willing. It’s science-backed, not superstition.
