FAQ
Some questions answered. Tel: 07799 708174
Q. Is Hypnotherapy Safe?YES. Clinical Hypnosis, also known as Hypnotherapy is TOTALLY DIFFERENT to Stage/Entertainment Hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a different state of consciousness to our normal alert state. In Clinical Hypnosis beneficial instructions for therapeutic
purposes can be given to your unconscious mind when in a receptive relaxed state. When carried out by a professionally trained and skilled
therapist, the benefits are usually long lasting and often permanent. It is completely natural and safe with no harmful side effects.
Q. Who is qualified at Healthymindz to carry out Clinical Hypnosis?
Our therapist Helen Lock who is fully trained and qualified in
Clinical Hypnosis to Diploma level and registered with the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
Q. Does my GP have to know?
Not always, a full medical history is always taken to ensure that there are no underlying physical
causes for conditions not investigated by the client's GP, and that there are no contra-indications. There are times when the
knowledge and permission of the Client's GP is requested, and it is usually given, in the event of any query, otherwise clients
are assured of complete confidentiality.
Q. Will I lose control and reveal stuff I don't want to?
NO. You retain control throughout the session. No-one can be
hypnotised against their will, do anything against their will or reveal anything they do not wish to; any attempt to do so will
break the balance, and the client will return to full waking awareness. Any attempt by a therapist would also be unethical under
the Codes Of Conduct of the British Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
Q. Is Hypnosis like sleep?
Hypnosis is not sleep yet we all experience Hypnosis every day without being aware of it.
You may have experienced driving along a familiar road without being aware of it and then realising you have travelled several miles.
This is very similar to the Hypnotic state where you are awake and aware, but not quite.
Q. Will I remember everything?
YES, maybe not consciously, but you WILL hear everything that is said, and your subconscious mind will
remember everything.
Q. How much are sessions and how many will I need?
As everyone has individual needs, therapy is tailored to suit each client.
Please enquire for an estimate of the number and cost of sessions needed for your particular symptoms.
Q. Can Healthymindz give talks to organisations and arrange seminars on Clinical Hypnosis?
