Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will I lose control? A: No, absolutely not. You will be in control throughout, hearing everything said and any other background noises. You will be able to think or imagine whatever you like. If you want to be de-hypnotised, just tell yourself "I want to wake up now", then you will. You will remember everything said if you wish.   Q: Will I be made to do something against will or turn into something like a chicken? A: No, you will not. Hypnotic suggestions only work on your will. What you do not want to do will never happen to you even if it is suggested under hypnosis. Hypnotherapists do not waste their time giving such suggestions anyway, but you can be turned into chicken only if you want to.   Q: Will I reveal my secrets? A: Under hypnosis, you will only speak when the therapist asks questions that are necessary for the treatment.   Q: Will I always wake up? A: Yes, you definitely will. The therapist has to wake you up at the end of the session in order to see the next client. Even if the therapist does not wake you up, you will wake up by a sudden noise, being shaken by somebody, or naturally as you wake up in the morning.   Q: Are there any side effects? A: You may feel a little light-headed after the first session that will be usually cleared after sleeping over night. You may also have mood swings or/and physical discomfort for example light headache, nausea, or indigestion etc., that will normally disappear in a few days. These symptoms are actually good signs, as it means that your body started to discharge toxins. There are no other side effects except feeling calmer and more relaxed than usual.   Q: Are there any contra-indications? A: Epilepsy, psychosis, and severe (psychotic) depression.   Q: How long does it take to feel the difference? It will have an immediate effect for exam/interview nerves and habit breaking such as smoking. It may take at least a few weeks in some symptoms/problems for you to feel the difference. In any case, as hypnotherapy treatment works very slowly and gradually, it will take 3 - 6 months after the first session to complete the whole process and feel the real benefit of it.   Q: How does it improve concentration, memory, creativity, work and academic performance? A: 1. By removing stress and negative feelings such as fear, anxiety, and anger etc. Your brain or mind will have more empty space. 2. Hypnosis induces deep relaxation which dilates blood vessels and helps blood circulation. That means your brain will have more blood supply to function better.
