Frequently asked questions
There are many mistaken beliefs about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. We have explained some of the more frequently asked questions below and would be happy to talk to you if you have any additional questions or concerns.
WILL HYPNOSIS MAKE ME REMEMBER THINGS ACCURATELY?
No. Hypnosis can improve our recall of events that we believe happened to us. But hypnosis is not a way to find out the truth (whatever that may be) about events that are in dispute. That is, under hypnosis you may re-experience events, but there is no guarantee that you are remembering them correctly. Hypnosis only assists a person in recalling perceptions

IS HYPNOTHERAPY APPROPRIATE FOR ME?
The unconscious mind plays a very important role in our daily lives. It is responsible not only for the autonomic bodily functions such as blood circulation and breathing, but also for our emotions, feelings and habits and therefore directs a large part of our behaviour. Our past experiences and memories are all stored away in the unconscious mind and the automatic thought patterns that are generated there enable us to effortlessly cope with the huge number of stimuli we meet in our daily lives. We simply could not function without this marvellous asset. However, if any of these thought patterns are unwanted, they are very difficult to change because the subconscious mind is not normally accessible to us. Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind and make changes to these emotions, feelings and habits that would be very hard to do with therapies carried out at the conscious level. If you are uncertain whether hypnotherapy could help your particular problem, contact us and we will assess whether hypnotherapy would be suitable for you.
