| Will my health insurance cover the cost of hypnosis? Insurance plans do not usually cover the cost of hypnosis. You are therefore responsible for paying the fee. "My test anxiety is gone...I feel calm and clear-headed during exams and I'm getting the A's I deserve. Thanks Greg." "This was a great experience for me. I pride myself in being an achiever... my fear of public speaking had held me back, until now... I can't thank you enough." |

About Us & Hypnosis Gerri is the office manager and will assist you when you contact our office. She has worked with Greg since the inception of his business. She will be happy to answer your questions and assist you with scheduling. What is hypnosis and how will I be hypnotized? Hypnosis is a pleasant and relaxing natural state of focused attention in which beneficial suggestions are given directly to the subconscious part of the mind, enabling you to make desired positive changes. It is used to build new behaviors or help attain personal or prefessional goals. I use a variety of proven induction methods. Through the use of words and suggestions you will be guided into trance. You will become relaxed and comfortable, but not asleep. Suggestions are then directed to the subconscious part of your mind to neutralize the negative habits and replace them with positive habits and reactions. How will I know I'm hypnotized? You will learn what hypnosis feels like. Everyone experiences hypnosis uniquely. Some people feel a relaxed heaviness or a pleasant calm, others may feel like they're floating. It may be a subtle experience, as it was for me when I was first hypnotized. I am strong-willed. Can I be hypnotized? Yes. Strong-willed individuals or those who like to feel in control can use hypnosis confidently. Will I be unconscious and tell my secrets while in hypnosis? No. At all times you'll be conscious and in control, aware of everything that's being said and going on around you. You will not disclose any secrets you would not normally disclose. Hypnosis isn't a truth serum. You are always in control when hypnotized. You are aware of your environment and can hear normal sounds around you. You hear everything I say. During your first visit, there will be a discussion about the goal you want to achieve or the problem you want to resolve. I will explain what hypnosis is, how it works, and what you will experience. What are post-hypnotic suggestions? These are suggestions that address your specific goal. They continue to help you after the hypnosis session. Example: you have no desire to smoke anymore; you will choose healthy foods; you are confident and in control. Can I be made to do something against my will? No. A hypnotist cannot make you do something you don't want to do. Hypnosis is a consent state. Although I guide you into the hypnotic state, the ability to be hypnotized rests within you; you are always in control. Can I get "stuck" in hypnosis? Absolutely not. You can discontinue the hypnotic state at any time. Since you are in control of your hypnotic experience, there is no difficulty in bringing yourself out of hypnosis. How many sessions will I need? In most cases, new clients schedule a program of 3 sessions (scheduled weekly). Additional sessions may be helpful depending on the individual client. Results are more pronounced with multiple sessions. Are the results guaranteed? Results cannot be guaranteed. Client's results depend on their willingness and desire to make positive changes in their life. How much does hypnotherapy cost? My fee is $75 - $95 per session. For all scheduling options available to you please read services, scheduling & fees. How can I get the most from my hypnosis? Read The Ideal Hypnosis Client and Choosing a Hypnotherapist. |
