Frequently
Asked Questions
If you have more questions please get in touch
Q1: Will I lose control or be made to do something I don't want to?
No. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention, not mind control. You stay aware throughout; you can’t be made to say or do anything against your will, and you can open your eyes and stop at any time.
Q2: Will I be asleep or unconscious?
No. Most people describe it as deeply relaxed but awake, a bit like being absorbed in a book or daydreaming. You’ll hear and remember what happens in the session. If you fall asleep, I will bring you up anyway.
Q3: Does it work for everyone?
People respond differently. Most people can experience hypnosis, and it tends to work best when you’re open to it and actively engaged. Hypnotherapy isn’t a guaranteed or instant fix, and I will tell you honestly if I think another kind of support would serve you better.
Q4: Is online hypnotherapy as effective as in person?
Online sessions over Zoom let you work from the comfort and privacy of your own space, which many people find helps them relax. I work with clients worldwide this way. If you’d prefer to meet in person, ask about availability in the Bay Area.
Q5: Is hypnotherapy a replacement for therapy or medical care?
No. Hypnotherapy is a complementary, self-improvement approach. I do not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions, and it is not a substitute for care from a licensed physician, psychiatrist, or psychologist. If you’re already in treatment, I encourage you to tell your provider you’re exploring hypnotherapy.
