No. Hypnosis is not sleep and you don’t lose consciousness. You remain aware, present, and able to hear, speak, and respond throughout the session.  Many people describe it as a deeply relaxed, focused, or inwardly attentive state.

No. You remain in control the entire time. You can always choose what you accept, what you ignore, and what you want to engage with.  Hypnosis works through your participation, not through your surrender.

Most people are able to experience hypnosis in their own way — especially when they approach it with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to participate in the process. There’s no “right” way to do it, and nothing you need to force. The experience simply meets you where you are.

Hypnosis works best when it’s something you’re choosing for yourself, rather than something you feel pressured into. If you’re feeling curious, open-minded, and willing to explore, that’s usually more than enough.

This is also what the complimentary conversation is for — a space for us to meet, talk through what you’re experiencing, and explore together whether this approach feels like a good fit for you and whether it’s likely to be supportive in your situation.
