Frequently Asked Questions About A Professional Hypnotist’s Role In Your Health
How many hypnotherapy sessions will I need?
Can I claim the cost of hypnotherapy with my private health fund?
Some of the more progressive health funds cover a portion of the session cost, especially from Clinical Members of the Australian Hypnotherapists’ Association, one of Linda’s qualifications. We suggest you contact your fund directly for the relevant information.
Can anyone be hypnotised?
Yes, if you allow it to happen. Anybody can resist hypnosis if that’s what they want to do. If you listen and follow the suggestions of the practitioner, then you can be hypnotised. The hypnotherapist can help you create the change you desire.
Will you make me act like a chicken?
Will I go to sleep during hypnotherapy?
Will I hear everything you say?
A famous stage hypnotist told me I couldn’t be hypnotised. Is this true?
Can I get “stuck” in hypnosis?
Can I be hypnotised against my will or to say or do things against my will?
Will I become a different person?
Will I remember things I don’t want to during hypnotherapy?
The subconscious mind does repress the memory of negative and traumatic experiences. This is a protective mechanism to prevent you from continually going through the scenario over and over again. The downside is that the negative emotions associated with the event can cause problems in other areas of your current life, and this is why many people turn to hypnotherapy in the first place. It’s not necessary to re-experience the event to overcome the emotions. The emotions can be effectively cleared without reliving the associated trauma.
Will I be able to remember everything that’s ever happened to me?
This is difficult to answer categorically. The subconscious mind does recall experiences and this can be extremely helpful for releasing negative patterns. It is necessary to note, however, that all these memories are stored through the filter of perception. Your memory of an experience will not be entirely the same as the person who witnessed it next to you. For this reason, the important element of hypnotherapy is the attached emotion and its influence in your life. If that influence is negative, you can overcome it without reliving the experience again in hypnosis.
