A session will normally last for an hour. It will begin with the therapist taking a brief personal and medical history (the more we know about you, the more we are likely to be able to help you). We will then discuss whatever problem or aim you would like us to help you with, establishing exactly what you want to achieve and how we will try to help. The therapist will then explain the hypnotic process and answer any questions that you may have. We want you to be relaxed and at ease with everything. When you are ready, we will start the hypnosis. Generally, all that you will need to do is relax and enjoy it. The actual hypnosis generally takes about 20-25 minutes. When we emerge you from the hypnotic state there will be a brief chat about the experience and this will also allow time to completely recover. (subjects sometimes feel a little woozy for a couple of minutes) You will then be OK to leave. Our aim is always to make the experience as relaxed and calm as possible.
