5 TIPS TO PREPARE FOR A HYPNOSIS SESSION

Search for a qualified person. All hypnotists are not necessarily counselors as well. You need to know what you want to achieve during the sessions to choose the correct person. There is, for example, a difference between wanting to stop smoking or working on rape during your childhood years. It also requires different hypnotherapy methods. Word of mouth is an excellent way of choosing the correct person.
Decide what issue you would like to solve. In hypnotherapy, we always work on one problem at a time. You may choose what you prefer to work on; however, sometimes multiple issues stem from one core issue like, for example, low self-confidence or low self-image. Last mentioned is the core problem while the presenting problem is, for example, anxiety or depression. An ethical hypnotherapist will be able to assess the situation and discuss what is best for you. The client is always the expert in the process, and the hypnotherapist will guide you to do what is best for you. The hypnotherapist will assess issues like, for example, “I am stuck,” or “I am unhappy” or “I am feeling depressed.” more in detail to get to the core of the problem.
List all your fears and questions. Do some introspection before the first session. If you know what your concerns are, if any, the hypnotherapist can address it during the Pre-talk or assessment session. In that manner, you can have the maximum benefit of the sessions.
Let go of and trust the process. If you find it difficult to let go and want to be in control most of the time, it will probably take a little longer for you to get to a medium trance. Not a problem, as an experienced hypnotherapist will be able to support you in the process. Your only work will be to relax and to listen carefully to the voice of the hypnotherapist.
It is normal to be scared of the unknown. If you were not scared, I would be worried. It is a new experience, of course, you will wonder if you are hypnotizable if it is going to work, are you going to be stuck in hypnosis, etc. All of the above and more are ok. However, the results of hypnotherapy versus other therapeutic methods are brilliant. So don’t wait, phone,( +27 83 863 2698), or mail amelia@future-u.co.za to set up your appointment.

In our country, it is day 103 of Lock Down due to Covid-19. Since day one, I experienced many things…
