There are two types of treatment in Conscious Hypnosis

• Suggestion Therapy This works well with the simpler problems; smoking, nail-biting, exam stress, weight problems, confidence and memory boosting and usually requires one session.

• Analytical Therapy Briefly this finds the root cause of the problem or symptom and removes it, thus giving lasting release to the client. This doctrine is called “Cause and Effect”. Analysis reveals the cause and consequently relieves the symptoms. The moment of liberating enlightenment may come anytime but usually around session six. One can be fairly confident the release will be obtained within eight to ten sessions or even sooner.

“The problem is inside the client but outside their control.”

Questions & Answers

• What is Hypnosis?

A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion. It is a non-addictive power for good and is a natural manifestation of the mind at work.

• Are there some people you cannot hypnotise?

No. (Except the mentally handicapped, although of course the degree varies from person to person).

• Are drugs or tablets used?

No.

• Shall I be aware of what is happening?

Yes. The predominant feeling of most people is – “It didn’t work for me – I never went under”.

• So I am not asleep then?

No. You are simply extremely relaxed. This is why the technique is called “Conscious Hypnosis”.

• Is there any cause at all for concern?

None whatsoever. Hypnosis is a proven therapeutic aid.

• How many visits will I need?

Simpler problems like smoking, nail-biting, slimming, pre-test nerves etc. usually require 1-3 sessions and the success rate is surprisingly high. The more deep-rooted nervous disorders require “analytical” rather than “suggestion” therapy which usually consists of 8-12 weekly sessions.

• Could I be influenced to do anything against my will or nature?

No. In fact you would be shocked out of the hypnotic state immediately any such action was suggested to you.

• Can “normal”people undergo Hypno-psychotherapy and Psycho-analysis?

Not only can they, but they should. For an insight into yourself, it has no equal.
