Common Concerns

Clients are sometimes concerned that they will "lose control" in hypnosis. However, generally consensus indicates that regardless of how deeply people may go in hypnosis and however passive they may appear to be, they actually remain in full control of the situation. They are fully able to talk if they wish to (or not, as the case may be) and can terminate the session, stand up and leave the room at any time.

It is likely that the notion of a loss of control stems from most people's misconception of stage hypnosis, wherein participants are apparently persuaded to perform all manner of (usually foolish) acts. however, the reader should be aware that participation in a stage act is an entirely voluntary process (thus permission is already given to the hypnotist) and that there can be no such volunteer who is unaware of exactly what they are letting themselves in for!

In hypnotherapy you will not be under the power of the therapist and cannot be made to do anything against your wishes or your moral code. You cannot be compelled to reveal anything you wish to keep secret.
