Hypnosis is a process of achieving an altered state of consciousness. It's similar to daydreaming. With your conscious mind occupied or turned off, the messages from the hypnotist go into your subconscious. The effect is that new attitudes and behaviors can be suggested so deeply that they can become as integrated as if you'd been that way for years. For example:
It becomes natural to reach for the water bottle instead of a cigarette. The idea of buying ice cream now turns your stomach. The extra hour or so is just enough time to get to the gym instead of wasting time on the computer.
First, we will sit down and talk. Probably for at least 30 minutes. We will find out more about each other. I will ask you questions to narrow down your most important issues. I will check your dominant senses and the suggestibility in your hands, arms, and legs.
Then we will go through several trance sessions (usually 2 to 4) where we will try to get you to your deepest possible trance, and then implant the suggestions you want. At the end, you will tell me how the session went for you, and I will let you know anything you need to do or be aware of before your next appointment.
