Fears & misconceptions
During our first session, and at any
time during
subsequent sessions, I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns
you might have. For now, here are some common fears and misconceptions
answered.
Will I lose
consciousness?
Hypnosis involves setting the conscious part of your
mind at ease so that your critical awareness does not hinder the
therapeutic work. You will not be unconscious at any time.
Will I lose
control or surrender secrets?
Contrary to what may be popularised in stage shows, you
are at all times able to make decisions and cannot be made to do or say
anything against your will.
Can only
weak-minded or gullible people be hypnotised?
Hypnosis requires concentration and often utilises
creative visualisation skills. These are characteristics associated
with more intelligent people.
Is there a
danger I won't be revived?
You are in control at all times and have the ability to
revive yourself from trance at any time you wish.
