Frequently Asked Questions
Dear Client,
Thank you for coming to my office on the internet. Let me answer some of your questions.
Q: Can I be hypnotized?
A: Yes. Most people go to the alpha
brain wave level many times a day without realizing it. Have you ever become drowsy on along drive from staring at the white line on the road? This is called highway hypnosis. Or, have you become very relaxed by staring at a candle or listening to music.
All of these things automatically put you into the alpha state.
Q: What brain level am I in when I am hypnotized?
A: Alpha, similar to the act of day dreaming or the hypnotic effect of road drowsiness.
Q: What techniques are used in these tapes?
A: Relaxation, Visualization, Body Imaging (seeing yourself succeed) and Re-Framing (adjusting perception).
Q: What is color coding?
A: Thinking of your favorite color to reinforce your control.
Q: Why would these tapes work, when I've tried other conventional methods of therapy?
A: Traditional psychotherapy deals with the conscious mind. Hypnotherapy deals with the subconscious mind. Our belief system stems from the subconscious mind. Repeated positive suggestions to the subconscious mind will then send messages to
the conscious mind to alter behavior.
Q: How long are these tapes?
A: From 16 to 29 minutes, depending on the tape.
Q: Is this tape like coming to your office for a hypnotic session?
A: Yes. This tape is an actual hypnotic session focused on a specific area.
Q: How often do I need to listen to the tapes to see positive results?
A: I recommend listening every day for one month. After that, as needed for positive reinforcement.
Q: Will these tapes put me to sleep?
A: Yes. These tapes are so relaxing that they can put you to sleep. (Warning: Do not listen to these tapes while driving or operating heavy machinery.)
Q: Will I be able to wake up?
A: Yes. You are always in control. The end of each tape will give you the choice to wake up or go to sleep, whichever you choose.
