Question 1

What is hypnosis or hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing state where a trained hypnotherapist uses carefully crafted suggestions and metaphors to guide positive change.
This powerful approach often achieves results faster than many other therapies, making it a highly effective solution for a variety of challenges.
Hypnosis itself is a natural state of mind—one that we experience spontaneously every day, such as when we daydream or get lost in thought.
Clinical hypnotherapy not only provides a calming and soothing experience and is a proven method for addressing many issues, helping you unlock your full potential.

Question 2

How effective is hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

Hypnotherapy is highly effective. Studies show that it has a 93% success rate after six sessions, compared to 38% success after 600 sessions of psychoanalysis. It's a supportive and practical approach to achieving your wellness goals, helping you transform both your mind and body effectively. (Source: Psychotherapy study by Alfred A Barrios, PhD, published in American Health Magazine, volume 7.)

Question 3

Can everyone be hypnotised?

Accepted Answer

Most people can be hypnotised, though the depth of trance varies. We guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and supported. Achieving a deep trance state isn't necessary for positive outcomes. Whether you enter a light or medium trance, our hypnotherapy sessions are designed to be effective and tailored to your unique needs. Your results depend more on your openness to the process and collaboration with your hypnotherapist than the depth of trance achieved.

Question 4

What are some misconceptions about hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

There are several common misconceptions about hypnotherapy that KavHealth aims to dispel. Firstly, many people believe that hypnotherapy involves losing control and being in a trance-like state where you can be manipulated. In reality, hypnotherapy is a guided process where you remain fully aware and in control. It's a form of deep relaxation that helps to access the subconscious mind to promote positive change. Secondly, some think that hypnotherapy is only useful for quitting smoking or weight loss, but hypnotherapy is used to address a variety of issues such as stress, anxiety, sleep problems, and even chronic pain.

Question 5

Will I lose control during hypnotherapy?

Accepted Answer

No, hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, but it is not the same as being unconscious. You remain aware and in control at all times. Hypnotherapy is a collaborative process that requires your cooperation, ensuring you never do anything against your will.

Question 6

How is Strategic Psychotherapy different?

Accepted Answer

Strategic Psychotherapy is highly structured and goal-oriented approach. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, which may explore various past and present issues over an extended period, Strategic Psychotherapy focuses on identifying and altering specific problematic patterns in thinking and behavior. This method is particularly effective because it combines elements of hypnotherapy and counselling to create a targeted treatment plan.
