Process of Hypnosis

Hypnosis actually dates back to the late 1700's. One of the first pioneers of Hypnosis was Abbe Faria although the credit for naming the process "Hypnosis" goes to Dr. James Braid in 1841 .

Dr. Braid termed the name Hypnosis so as not to be confused with Franz Mesners practice of mesmerism. Hypnosis techniques have stood the test of time.

The process will actually start with having you fill out the online form to give me some background information about you and what you hope to achieve through Hypnosis.

When you come for your first appointment we will discuss your goals and answer any questions you might have. Of course, we will only move forward to an actual session if you are comfortable with the process.

The first fifteen minutes of a session is called an induction. This is the relaxation part of the session. You will transition from the normal state of consciousness to a very relaxed state of mind.

The next step is called deepening, which is simply to deepen the state of relaxation.

The third step is the suggestions. This is when I have a little chat with your subconscious mind and introduce the suggestions we agreed upon in your consultation!

The final step is called the closing. This is the process of bringing you back to a normal state of consciousness.

It is important to note: Often a person will not think they were hypnotized...because it is a natural state of mind... you are not asleep...you are not unconscious. Despite what you have seen in the movies or heard you are usually aware of your surroundings, you hear what is going on around you, and you are not under my control. All of this will be discussed in our consultation.
