Hypnotherapy FAQ

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a way of directly accessing the subconscious mind so that clients can understand what is running their unwanted behaviours and then become free of them, through a process of suggestion that bypasses the conscious mind and the critical factor, allowing the mind to accept a suggestion it would previously have not accepted.

What is Rapid Transformational Therapy – RTT?

Rapid Transformational Therapy if a powerful innovative therapy, which gets to the root cause of why we may feel stuck. It is a simple and powerful method that combines several very effective proven techniques – NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), hypnotherapy and psychotherapy to bring out the best in you, permanently. It comes with a personalised bespoke recording post-session to help you create new thoughts or feelings, habits, and behaviours for fast, effective, and long-term change.

How long is an RTT session?

Each session is dependent on the individual and can last up to 3 hours. For that reason, I ask you block a full 3 hours in your calendar to make sure you’re not rushed.

What does RTT feel like?

The experience feels different for different people. Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not. Others may feel sleepy, some do not. Most people feel relaxed and at ease. What’s most important is to know that how you feel isn’t an indicator of how effective it is. Regardless of what it feels like – it’s working.

Can I get “stuck” in hypnosis?

No! That’s an old wives’ tale. You have complete control the whole time. You can talk, move your body, get a tissue, and even get up and leave. If our session is via zoom and the call gets disconnected you may drift into sleep if you’re really relaxed, but eventually, you’ll notice that you’re not hearing my voice and will open your eyes.

How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis is not magic – it’s science! It works by creating a burst of brain waves that are the same as when you’re in REM (Rapid Eye Movement). That’s what allows you to access the subconscious mind. It’s very easy and anyone can do it, you’ll see for yourself when you do it too!

What if I don’t “go deep” enough?

Don’t worry about how deep you go. I want you to forget all about that. It’s really not important. The depth of trance is not linked to results at all. So don’t get stuck on “Am I deep enough?” Just tell yourself the truth – “This is working” and it will absolutely work. Just know that it is effective.

What if I think I already know the reasons behind my issue?

What makes RTT amazing is that even if you think you know the reason, you see it in a COMPLETELY new way. That’s what allows you to change the meaning and ultimately, change your beliefs. And for many clients, they go back to scenes that are totally different than what they expected. Just relax and trust that your subconscious mind will show you exactly what you need to see.

What if I go back to scenes that are painful or scary?

If you go back to scenes from your life that are related to things like sexual or physical abuse, or other trauma, it’s important to remember that you are not reliving that scene, you are simply reviewing it and that you are safe. I will support you and create a safe space for you to express your emotions and heal – you’ll be OK.

When will I start to see changes?

There are 3 types of change from Rapid Transformational Therapy – every person is different:

  1. Immediate: You feel a massive shift right away – immediate changes in your physiology, thoughts, and behaviours right in the session.
  2. Incremental: You see consistent shifts every day, or over time.
  3. Retroactive: You don’t see the shifts right away and then one day you suddenly look back and see all of the things that are different in your life.
Do I need to attend in person?

No, RTT Hypnotherapy has been proven to work effectively over zoom.

What if I need or want another session?

RTT is designed to give you a powerful breakthrough and create big changes in your life. Some clients may need more than one RTT session on a particular issue, depending on how deep it is, it can take up to 3 sessions per issue.
