Hypnotherapy FAQ
🧬 The Science of Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is more than relaxation — it's a scientifically supported method for accessing the unconscious mind, where lasting change takes root. Research indicates that during hypnosis, brainwave activity shifts into a highly focused and receptive state. In this state, the mind becomes more receptive to positive suggestions, which helps reshape thought patterns, habits, and emotional responses.
Modern neuroscience confirms what skilled practitioners have known for decades: hypnotherapy can influence the way we process pain, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation. When combined with techniques like Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), it becomes a powerful tool for rewiring the brain — promoting healing, clarity, and resilience.

What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is a gentle, guided process that helps you enter a deeply relaxed, focused state — often called trance — where your unconscious mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and change. At Healing Mind, we combine hypnotherapy with NLP and coaching to create lasting shifts in thoughts, habits, and emotional patterns.
Can everyone be hypnotised?
Most people can be guided into a light or deep trance with the right approach. It doesn’t depend on being “weak-minded” — in fact, people with strong focus and imagination often respond best. If you’re willing and open, hypnotherapy can work for you.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
No, you remain fully in control throughout the session. Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and deep relaxation, not unconsciousness. You can speak, move, and even choose to end the session at any time. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process — you're always in the driver’s seat.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, natural state that most people experience daily — like being “in the zone” or daydreaming. You remain in control the entire time. It’s not mind control or stage hypnosis — it’s a collaborative process where your comfort and consent are always the priority.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your goals and what you’re working on. Some issues may improve in 1–3 sessions, while others (like anxiety, trauma, or long-standing patterns) benefit from a more structured plan. We'll discuss this together and tailor it to your needs.
What should I expect in my first session?
Your first session is all about understanding your needs and setting clear intentions. We’ll talk through your goals, answer any questions you have, and gently introduce you to the hypnosis process. You'll leave feeling more informed, relaxed, and ready for change — no pressure, no judgment.
Is hypnotherapy the same as meditation?
Not quite. While both promote deep relaxation and focus, hypnotherapy is more goal-directed and therapeutic. In hypnosis, you're guided to access your unconscious mind to make specific changes — like shifting habits, resolving emotional blocks, or reframing limiting beliefs. Meditation is about awareness and presence, while hypnotherapy is about transformation.
Will I remember everything after the session?
Yes — most people remember everything that happens during a hypnotherapy session. You may feel like you've been in a deeply relaxed state (similar to daydreaming), but you’ll remain aware and in control. Some details might fade like a dream, but the effects of the session will continue to unfold consciously and unconsciously.
Can hypnotherapy help with burnout?
Yes. Hypnotherapy can be highly effective for managing and recovering from burnout. Through deep relaxation and guided focus, it helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and release the mental and emotional tension that fuels exhaustion.
