Hypnosis weight loss Manhattan FAQ

Q: What’s hypnosis like? I’ve never been hypnotized.
A: Hypnosis is a relaxed state where someone is more open to suggestions. It feels familiar because we actually do it so often.

We enter and leave hypnotic states constantly throughout the day. The act of reading, day dreaming, or watching TV with focused attention are all light trance states. Walking down the sidewalk or waiting for the subway, many people are in a trance state. Just look at them. Driving on a highway may make the trance state more easily noticed.

Q: Is it sleep?
A: No. Although both involve physical and mental relaxation, hypnosis is not sleep. The key difference is that you remain aware in hypnosis.

Q: Will I surrender my will?
A: Hypnosis is a way for you to gain control over habits that were previously beyond the control of your conscious mind. The hypnotist is merely a guide. The person hypnotized makes the decisions. The relationship is like that between a driver (the person hypnotized) and a navigator (the hypnotist). And no one can be hypnotized against his or her will.

Q: Can only the weak-minded be hypnotized?
A: On the contrary, since it requires focused concentration, the best clients are more intelligent.

Q: Is it like a truth serum? Will I reveal secrets?
A: The client is aware while hypnotized. People can withhold information, shade the truth, or lie in hypnosis, just like in any other situation. We don’t ask personal questions in the Manhattan Weight Loss program session, so this is not an issue.

Q: What if I can’t come out of hypnosis?
A: The client actually induces the trance, not the hypnotist. The hypnotist merely requests that the client follow some instructions. The client is aware and able to revive him or herself. Rarely, someone may nod off into a nap, but they wake naturally.

Q: What happens in a free screening?
A: In a free screening a certified hypnotist will determine if hypnosis is right for you. A free screening at Manhattan Hypnosis is a private, one on one meeting where we answer your questions and evaluate you as a candidate for hypnosis. Our hypnotist will determine if hypnosis will work for you.
