Hypnosis, also known as "trance", is a natural yet altered state of mind that allows gentle access and communication with the subconscious mind. We go into the hypnotic state daily without even knowing it when we are hyper-focused on a task, waking from sleep, while driving, reading, and while daydreaming. Hypnosis has been researched for hundreds of years and found to be very beneficial and safe when used therapeutically. 

Hypnosis is not a truth serum.  Although you're more open to suggestions during a hypnosis session,  you still have free will and moral judgment. No one can make you say anything that you don't want to say.

While in hypnosis you remain fully conscious and fully in control.  No one, not even your hypnotherapist can make you do something you don't want to.  

No one has remained indefinitely in a hypnotic state. The state can be terminated at will. It is as simple as opening the eyes. You cannot get stuck in hypnosis and not “wake up.”

Hypnotherapy is a highly effective form of therapy approved by the American Psychological Association.  Results of 2006 Comparative Study by American Health Magazine found Hypnotherapy to have a 93% recovery after 6 sessions when compared to traditional therapy. 

In many instances, one or two sessions of hypnotherapy may be enough to create desired change however we recommend committing to at least 5 sessions to maximize your success with hypnotherapy.
