Hypnosis FAQ
What does it feel like to be in a trance?
Experiences vary widely from one person to another. While some report a sensation similar to daydreaming, others report that they simply feel relaxed, or even that they were not aware of any differences at all.
What if I can't go into trance?
Have you ever performed a regular, everyday task and then realised you have no memory of doing it? You were in a trance state. Being in a trance is simply a way of describing those times when your unconscious mind is controlling your actions, which research indicates is about 90% of the time. It is something that comes naturally to all of us and Ana will utilise the most effective method for helping you achieve an easy state of relaxation.
What if I don't wake up?
People falling into a coma as a result of hypnosis is a Hollywood myth. Once in a trance, if left to themselves people do one of two things: either fall asleep or get bored, get up and leave.
In addition, the hypnotherapy techniques Ana uses are so sophisticated that only a light trance is required to achieve results, so you will be fully aware of what is happening at all times.
I have seen films where people have things done to them without their knowledge while under hypnosis. I have also seen stage hypnotists get people to make fools of themselves.
Referring to the previous answer, you will be fully aware and in control of what is going on at all times. Stage hypnotists utilise hypnosis as a tool of entertainment, a hypnotherapist uses hypnosis as a therapeutic tool. As a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, Ana works to a very strict code of ethics and conduct in this regard.
