Frequently asked questions
Will I lose control under hypnosis?+
A common one from Etwall: No. Hypnosis is a focused awake state — you can speak, move and open your eyes at any point.
Will I remember the session?+
Yes. You will remember what happened, and you can end the session at any moment.
Is it safe if I have a mental-health diagnosis?+
In most cases yes, but this is discussed openly in the intro call to make sure the approach fits your situation.
What does hypnosis actually feel like?+
Most people describe it as pleasantly relaxed, aware and absorbed — similar to being lost in a book or a piece of music.
Is it evidence-based?+
Clinical hypnotherapy has good evidence in anxiety, IBS, pain and habit change — it is used inside NHS and academic settings.
How the work is delivered
- Step 1
Bridge sessions with tools
You leave with practical tools so between-session weeks are worked, not wasted.
- Step 2
Address the driver
Using clinical hypnotherapy and, where useful, NLP-informed reframing, we work at the level the pattern actually runs on.
- Step 3
Prepare for real life
The final phase rehearses the pattern under normal life stress, so results don't collapse the moment life gets busy.
- Step 4
Consolidate the change
Change has to hold beyond the session. Self-hypnosis, a short practice or a home task keeps it embedded.
