During a Hypnotherapy session, I use a gentle guided relaxation through to intense concentration in order to explore your issue/phobia more deeply. You are guided to visualise yourself in a state of peacefulness and relaxation, even when confronting the object of your fears.
During hypnotherapy, you remain in control. It is not possible for anyone to force you to do anything against your will. You will be tuned into the work at hand, and so may not pay attention to your surroundings, but you will always be in charge of your own actions, behaviours, and statements.
Hypnotherapy is not the same as being “knocked out.” You will remember the things that occur during your hypnotic state, you will not be asleep or unconscious and you are able to break the hypnotic trance at any time.
