What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis or meditation is purely focusing the mind until the brain waves lower to an alpha rhythm from a beta one. This allows you to by pass the conscious critical faculty part of the mind and work more profoundly with the subconscious mind, where clearer dialog can be established, between the subconscious mind and conscious mind.
Will I be controlled/Lose control?
Hypnosis and meditation is only a tool to work more profoundly with the subconscious mind, you naturally go into hypnosis while you watch the television, read a book and before you sleep, etc. It is a natural process of the mind and you cannot be made to do anything you do not want to do as the mind will break you from that state of mind. For example, do you remember watching a television program that offended you while you was watching it deeply... you would get up and walk away. The same logic applies within hypnosis.
Will I be made to do something in appropriate?
No...that is for the realms of side show acts and stage hypnotherapists. They pick people who want do silly or inappropriate things as hypnosis is thought to lower inhibitions. In a therapeutic environment we work with you as a guide only and not against you and we also work closely and under the regulations of the APHP, so you are in a safe productive place with us.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Pretty much anyone can be hypnotised unless there is some neurological reason not to be or unless they are taking drugs or large quantities of alcohol.
