During hypnosis there is no dramatic shift. It's not a line between this and that. It's a feeling of calm, relaxation and focus. It's a natural state that you simply allow to happen.

Your body may feel heavy and warm, or light and floating. Everyday worries tend to fade into the background. Time can pass more quickly than expected.

Some people feel so alert they wonder if anything is happening at all. Others drift into a dreamy, peaceful state. Both experiences are completely normal.

The most common thing people say afterward is simple: "That felt wonderful. I haven't felt that relaxed in years."

The answer to that question is yes. However, the degree to which someone can be hypnotized is dependent on their willingness to embrace it. Hypnosis is not something that is done to you, it is something done with you.

If you're open to the process and are ready to make changes, hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you reach your goals. Your chances of a positive outcome increase when your willingness to trust the process (and yourself) increase.

People who struggle are usually those who feel anxious about losing control. In reality, you stay aware and in charge throughout the entire session.

No. This is one of the most common concerns people have. You remain aware throughout the entire session. You can speak, move, and come out of hypnosis whenever you choose. 

Hypnosis actually requires your cooperation and consent. You cannot be made to do anything that goes against your values or wishes. If a suggestion doesn't feel right, your mind will simply reject it.

A skilled hypnotist guides the process. But you are always the one in control.
