An honest answer to the most frequently asked questions. Hypnosis is not magic, but for many people it is a powerful solution.
Hypnosis is not a magic trick, but a natural state of deep relaxation. It works for many people, but not for everyone. Honesty upfront is important: I'll tell you exactly what hypnosis can help with, and what it cannot.
Note: Have a psychiatric diagnosis? Always consult your primary care provider first. Hypnosis is safe, but not always suitable.

Everything you want to know about how hypnosis works and its possibilities.
Yes, almost everyone can be hypnotized. It's a natural state you experience daily (e.g., daydreaming or just before falling asleep). Only people with certain psychiatric conditions (such as psychosis) are typically excluded. Children from age 4-5 can also be hypnotized effectively.
Yes, hypnosis is 100% safe. You are always conscious and maintain complete control. You cannot get 'stuck' in hypnosis. It is a natural state. Hypnosis has no side effects and is endorsed by the American Medical Association and the British Medical Association.
For many issues (such as quitting smoking, nail biting or sugar cravings), one session is often sufficient. For deep-rooted trauma or complex issues, multiple sessions may be needed. During the free introductory meeting, I will give you a realistic assessment for your situation.
Not at all. Stage hypnosis is entertainment and selects people who are highly suggestible. Therapeutic hypnosis is a safe, relaxing session where you remain in control. No one can make you do anything you don't want to do.
Yes, hypnosis often works even better with children than with adults. Children have vivid imaginations and are easily guided into a relaxed state. The session is playful (e.g., a magical adventure). Suitable from age 4-5.
That depends on your issue. Quitting smoking or nail biting often works in 1 session. Sugar cravings or anxiety disorders may take 2-3 sessions. Deep-rooted trauma may require more sessions. I will give you personal advice during the free consultation.
Some health insurance companies partially cover hypnosis through supplementary insurance. This varies per insurer and policy. Check your policy or call your insurance provider to be sure. I can provide an invoice that you can submit.
No, you don't need to 'believe' in hypnosis for it to work. Hypnosis is a natural physiological process, not a belief system. Even skeptics can achieve good results. However, an open attitude is helpful, but belief is not a requirement.
Hypnosis is not a medical treatment and does not replace a doctor or psychologist. If you have severe psychological complaints (such as depression, psychosis, or a personality disorder), always consult your own healthcare provider before considering hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a complementary technique that can help with behavioral change, relaxation, and breaking habits. Results vary per person.
