I Remembered Everything – Will It Still Work?
One of the most common myths about hypnotherapy is that you have to be completely spaced out or in another world for it to work.
This simply isn’t true.
In fact, many of my first time clients have expressed concern about having remembered everything that went on in the session, even after I have explained beforehand that this might happen.
Myths Vs. Facts
This is because most people have a false view of what hypnosis is and what it should feel like based on media misinformation and hearsay.
The effects of hypnosis are much more subtle than that.
Not only is it normal to hear and remember everything that goes on in your session, but it’s also normal to feel as though you could open your eyes at any time – because you CAN.
You are in control when you’re in a state of trance. You can stop the session, open your eyes and walk out of the room any time you please.
Levels of Trance
There are several levels of hypnotic trance, and each level feels slightly different.
The first level of trance is called ‘Alpha’, and in this stage you are very relaxed but aware at the same time. When you’re in this stage you can hear and remember what I’m saying.
So, if this is all you’re experiencing that’s perfectly okay. Let it be what it is and give your subconscious mind time to process the suggestions it receives.
Deeper stages of hypnosis are also often achieved, and these are called ‘Theta’ and ‘Delta’.
The important thing to remember is that each stage is equally effective in helping you to make powerful and positive changes in your life.
