It's the most frequently asked question about hypnosis: will I lose control?

The truth is that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis; in hypnosis, you are in your own power and control.

You can open your eyes and come-out at any time with no problems or risk.

You can still choose not to share certain details while in hypnosis - we can work with the information without you sharing all of the details if you prefer. You will only access and share information that feels safe to you.

In the RTT® session, you are not vulnerable; no one can suggest or 'programme' anything 'into you' that you would not accept. 

Hypnotherapy is not mind control; rather, it is a tool for allowing yourself to change. Your subconscious mind is always eager to assist you in making your life easier.

I love it when people ask me this. Because most of us first witnessed hypnosis through TV stage acts, this is a legitimate question.

So, what is the difference between transformational and entertainment hypnosis?

Nothing really, it's essentially the same process, but the intention is different.

In hypnotherapy, your intention is to heal a problem, but if you volunteer to a stage hypnotist, your intention is to entertain.... so the outcomes naturally follow the original intention.

Hypnotic trance is not a coma-like state in which you can become 'stuck'.

In fact, when you have been on a road trip, you have already experienced a hypnotic trance, a shift from consciousness to subconsciousness.

Have you ever been on a train or in a car and gone into a trance and were momentarily unaware of the details of the journey (even if driving), only to realise you're almost there and it surprises you? You were lost in your inner world, in a state of light trance.

You have complete control throughout hypnotherapy. You can talk, move your body, and hear noises around you if someone or a pet requires your immediate attention.

Because most of my sessions are done via Zoom, if we lose our internet connection, you'll simply notice that you're not hearing my voice and will be able to simply open your eyes and reconnect, and then easily return to hypnosis.

There are some ridiculous urban myths about hypnosis that simply aren't true - it is simply a state of deep relaxation, similar to meditation.

RTT is not the same as talking therapy, and both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Talking therapy is beneficial in building a slow-paced safe relationship. Slower therapies are particularly valuable for complex traumas.

RTT and transformational-hypnosis sessions are intended to assist you in shifting quickly.

As a result, you will not be long-term dependent, and treatment will be very cost-effective when compared to other longer therapies.

In fact, the ultimate goal of RTT is to provide you with a rapid understanding of the underlying causes of your problem and to take a compassionate enquiry approach to the change you want to make.

This, combined with the fact that RTT quickly changes behaviour, means that RTT can be highly effective, targeted, and cost-effective.

For complex trauma, RTT can be used in conjunction with your ongoing therapeutic process to help you understand the roots of your trauma; however, discussion with your regular qualified psychotherapist is encouraged.

Regression therapy is a treatment approach that focuses on resolving significant past events that are thought to be interfering with a person's current mental and emotional well-being.

Only people in good mental health who are confident that reviewing past events will not have a negative impact on their emotional or mental health should take part. If you or your treating practitioners have any past or current concerns about your mental health, we ask that you refrain from participating in regression therapy.

Hypnosis is not pseudoscience; it has deep historical psychological roots and even dates back to antiquity.

Hypnotic inductions mimic the process of falling asleep while keeping you awake. By first inducing an alpha brain state, then moving you deeper into theta - just like when you're sleeping.

That is how we gain access to the subconscious. We are sometimes taken deeper into the unconscious mind (into your inner vault) to find deeply rooted memories that are hidden from conscious recall. These are the very powerful breakthrough moments. Your mind knows exactly where it will lead you to solve your problem. It's very simple, and anyone can do it!

Yes, me too! Over a decade, I tried three different hypnotherapists to help me overcome my fear of needles, to varying degrees of success.

However, RTT is unique. This method is jam-packed with safe-cracking tools.

You don't have to be concerned about how deep you go because it's really completely irrelevant. Some people believe they were in a deep trance, while others believe they were barely hypnotised at all. The depth of trance has nothing to do with the outcome; it all depends on how deeply your mind has stored the information you require.

You're in good hands; we can retrieve both shallow and deep roots. Your mind will know where it needs to take you.

If you have experienced painful trauma in the past, this is a valid concern; if you have faced mental or emotional problems as a result of your trauma, I would advise you to consult with your medical practitioner first. First, get confirmation from your doctor.

However, I have worked with several clients who have a history of serious mental, emotional, physical, and sexual trauma, as well as a having a personal history in some of these areas, and I have done these sessions online in the comfort of their own home.

I want to reassure you that if you revisit scenes from your life that involve abuse or other trauma, you are not reliving those events; you are safe and simply reviewing them.

I have certain techniques to help you review these scenes safely if you do go back to them.

Your mind may take you back to painful moments, not to relive them, but to show you what meaning about your life and beliefs about yourself you formed during these moments. This is the powerful shift: by accessing these meanings and beliefs, you can change them and free yourself from the shackles of the past.

I fully support you and provide a safe space for you to express and let go of whatever you are ready to let go of.

It's common to notice that memories prompted by hypnotherapy can differ from our conscious recall of the same event.

When we use hypnosis to access memories, you are not viewing them as a "third party" observer (we do this in the Higher Mind session if you want to access that third party perspective). We're seeing them not only in the first person, but also in a different way. We see them through the subconscious mind's lens, as we perceived them emotionally at the time, and sometimes through the risk filter, as well as what individual meaning we took from them in the cultural context at the time.

Eyewitness studies have shown that every person who witnesses the same event perceives it differently, because we all perceive through the lens of our own unique belief system. We magnify this unique perspective in hypnosis because we access moments that changed us. That altered our perceptions of ourselves, other people, and the world around us.

It will never be a faithful recollection of what the'real' situation was because it is all based on how we felt at the time, how we took it in - and very often as a child, how we misunderstood or misinterpreted it, or even tangled it up with something else that happened.

This is why, for example, witness statements obtained through hypnosis are inadmissible in court. It's a very subjective recollection. This is critical for understanding how a specific problem developed in you in the manner that it did.

It's very common for clients to return to quiet moments, such as sitting on their childhood bed alone. We make changes within ourselves at those times. We are thinking things through, attempting to understand something difficult, often while upset, and it is during these times that new beliefs are formed. Beliefs about who we are and what we need to be in order to be successful in life.

The unique way we see memories in hypnosis does not call what happened into question, because understanding how you experienced something at the time through the lens you saw-through at the time is extremely valuable to you (a lens which changes within us all the time). Because that is how you made sense of your experience and created meaning.

If the mind has matched up separate but close-together experiences as following the same 'pattern,' they can sometimes merge into a single memory. It's how it's saved on the mind's 'hard drive.' These common patterns shape our understanding of life as we mature.

The memories that can be accessed while under hypnosis are fascinating. For example, I frequently have people return to being a baby, either just born or in the womb, and as that baby, they understand what is going on around them and what is being said to or about them. That contradicts everything we know about human development. The unconscious mind, on the other hand, records everything on the inner 'hard drive,' and when language is learned later, the gaps are filled in to gain an understanding that can radically change us.

It is both powerful and complex. But it is extremely valuable to gain insight into our own unique journey because we all interpret life so differently.

The RTT process is designed to assist you in understanding how we may have changed our beliefs and behaviour based on what we experienced in the past. And to use your wisdom, maturity, and broader understanding you have today to change the meaning of what happened in the past. All of this alters our core beliefs about ourselves and the world around us, as well as how we express ourselves behaviorally.

Rapid Transformational Therapy produces change in three ways, and each person and situation is unique:

1) Immediate: You experience a breakthrough shift right away, with immediate changes in your physiology, thoughts, and behaviours. 
2) Incremental: In the days following the session, you will notice consistent shifts.
3) Retroactive: You may not notice the changes right away, but when you look back and reflect, you will notice all of the differences and changes in your life.
