Are you "gone" when you are in a trance?
No, you are neither asleep nor "gone". You can hear everything and you know what is happening, you are just comfortably relaxed.

Do you say things that you do not want to say?
No, the unconscious mind will only have access to the information, which is necessary for the problem to be solved and only to the extent that you can handle. Your unconscious mind will always protect you. You have full control over the situation and can continuously evaluate whether you want to answer any questions I ask you.

Are there any side effects?
No, it is a natural and resourceful state. The “worst” that can happen is that you fall asleep ... I would of course wake you up again in that case. It is easy for a hypnotherapist to tell the difference between sleep and trance.

Do you lie down or sit?
You sit comfortably in an armchair

Can you remember anything afterwards?
Yes, in most cases you remember everything.
Some people choose to relax so much that their conscious mind "zooms out", but the unconscious mind remembers everything and that is the most important thing.

How long is a session?
A session is about 1 ½ hours.

How many treatments should you have?
It depends on the person and the problem. Everyone is different and change at their own pace. Some people make huge changes in 1-4 treatments, others need more sessions.
But it is important that you want to change and it is an advantage if you imagine that you can change with the help of hypnosis, because no one can be hypnotized against their will.

Are the effects lasting?
Yes, typically a deep inner transformation occurs. One could say that the weed is pulled up by the roots. You create a new understanding on which to base your behaviour. A child who has learned to walk does not start to crawl again.
