FAQ's
WHAT'S HYPNOTHERAPY?​
Hypnotherapy is one of the most powerful tools for transformation that exists today and thanks to the modern behavioral science we now know how hypnotherapy works, mostly thanks to the work of Dr. David Spiegel, Medical Director of the Center for Integrative Medicine at Stanford University.
​
When we get into this heightened state of consciousness, we’re more receptive to change and shift at a much more deep-rooted level than just the conscious mind
​
​
CAN ANYONE BE HYPNOTIZED?​
Yes. Anyone can be hypnotized based on their suggestibility. Hypnosis is a very normal process that we all experience for a few minutes every day before we fall asleep and while we wake-up. Anyone who is willing to enjoy the benefits of hypnosis can be hypnotized.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS HYPNOTHERAPY?​
Hypnotherapy is highly effective, as demonstrated by numerous studies, and much more effective than any traditional form of therapy.
​
The efficacy rate ranges between 70% and 90%; it varies depending on the application, the number of sessions and the client motivation.
​
The reason why hypnotherapy is so effective is because it takes us to a theta brainwave state, in which we can insert new beliefs, behaviors and ideas into our lives. With enough repetition, you can rewire your brain, so that your goals, wishes, and desires become your subconscious programs, not just conscious mind goals.
DO I LOSE CONTROL IN HYPNOSIS?​
It’s the opposite. In fact, thanks to hypnotherapy you are gaining more control over your life; it’s a way of giving you more control, not less.
​
During hypnotherapy, you remain in control and aware. Unlike what we see in movies, it’s not possible for anyone to force you to do anything against your wishes. You are fully in charge of your actions, behaviors, and statements.
​
CAN I GET STUCK IN HYPNOSIS?​
No, it’s impossible; you can come out of the state any time you wish during the session.
​
Hypnosis is safe, science-backed and a totally natural state. We all enter a state of hypnosis at least twice a day, when we are waking-up and before falling asleep; in fact, it’s not possible to transition from a state of wake to a state of sleep without passing through this intermediate state, in which our brain waves are in theta state, most commonly called hypnosis.
WHAT DOES HYPNOSIS FEEL LIKE?​
What you’ll experience is very personal and varies from one session to another; however, many people report it as a heightened state of attention and focus, and generally feel calmer and relaxed afterwards.
HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?​
This depends on the cause of the extra weight, your motivation to change, and your commitment to therapy.
​
Once you book your free 30 minutes consultation you will receive a questionnaire, based on which I’ll be able to tailor the protocol for you and to give you an approximate idea of how many sessions it will take.
​
HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO TAKE A SESSION?​
For best results I recommend my clients to book their sessions weekly, preferably the same day.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE 30 MINUTES PHONE CONSULTATION?
​
Once you make the booking you will receive a questionnaire in your inbox.
​
I encourage you to answer all the questions and to take your time to reflect on each of the answers.
Once I receive your survey, I’ll analyze it and I’ll prepare a program tailored for you, based on your history, your weight causes and your goal.
​
During our call I’ll share with you the proposed therapy plan and I’ll ask you more questions to get to know you better. It’ll also be the opportunity for you to ask any question you may have on hypnotherapy or on the protocol.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE FIRST SESSION?​
The first session is the longest one at 90 minutes (the following ones are 75 minutes).
​
The objective of the first session is to lay the foundations for the therapy by:
​
•seeding your weight goal and your motivations for change in your subconscious mind
•equipping your mind with all the resources required for achieving your goal.
​
In the first session I’ll also test your suggestibility type: this will allow me to understand how your subconscious mind learns and to customize the sessions accordingly.
