Frequently Asked Questions

Whilst in hypnosis we can talk to your subconscious mind.  Your subconscious mind holds all of your emotions, the way we react, learn and act and holds 90% of our emotional state.

 

Our conscious mind holds our logical part and is only 10%. Therefore Emotion will always win over Logic.

Hypnosis is like being in a trance, or a really relaxed state of calm focus. Our brain moves in and out of alert focus several times a day.

It all depends on the issue we are dealing with, but unless we fight our own change, results will become evident. The number of session(s) you need will also depend on the issue(s) we are treating and that can have an impact on how fast we see results.
