Do I go to sleep?
No you do not go to sleep during hypnosis, you are just in an altered state similar to daydreaming.

Can anyone be hypnotised?
Almost - anyone who can focus and follow simple instructions can be hypnotised. Some people seem to have a natural talent for it, others need to learn the skill.

Am I out of control when hypnotised?
You are always in control, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, the hypnotherapist is just an expert on how to help you become hypnotised. Once you are in this altered state the hypnotherapist can use several methods to promote changes that you want. A hypnotherapist does not have control over you, your mind will not accept anything that is said that goes against your beliefs or values.

Always make sure your Hypnotherapist is professionally trained and belongs to a professional board like The National Council of Hypnotherapy, whereby a member has to adhere to a strict code of conduct.

Will you use swinging watches?
Swinging watches is very much the 'old school' of hypnotherapy, most hypnotherapists use relaxation, eye fixation (getting you to focus on a particular spot) and visualisation methods.

Will you make me run around the room acting like a chicken?
Certainly not, please don't confuse a Professional Hypnotherapist with a stage hypnotist. Professional Hypnotherapy is about helping people to take control of their lives.
 

Can children benefit from hypnotherapy?
Children make excellent subjects! For Hypnotherapy and NLP, children need to be aged from around 5 years old. TFT is suitable for any age group - even babies.

What do I need to wear to my session?
It is important that you feel relaxed during your session, so wear clothes that you feel comfortable in.

Do I have to remove any clothes for my treatment?
Certainly not! TFT tapping exercises are performed by you, over your clothes.
