What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person loses the power of voluntary action and is highly responsive to suggestion or direction. Its use in therapy, typically to recover suppressed memories or to allow modification of behavior by suggestion.
Does Hypnosis Work?
Hypnosis has been used by Doctors from all over the world for many years to help people deal with everything from weight loss to helping them naturally give birth. John Barry has worked with thousands of clients and helped them achieve their goals.
Can I Be Hypnotized?
In simple terms, hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation where your brain waves drop from Alpha, through Beta, and into Delta. This is a completely natural process that every individual goes through multiple times a day. You go through this process when you go to sleep and come out of it when you wake up every day. If you can sleep you can be hypnotized.
What does Hypnosis feel like?
The hypnotic zone exists somewhere between being wide awake and being sound asleep, it feels a lot like relaxation and can get progress to the feeling of almost being asleep.
Will I cluck like a chicken?
As a Clinical Hypnotist John Barry is focused on helping you achieve your goals, unless your goal is to be a chicken, then there will be no clucking.
Will I remember my session?
Just like falling asleep, sometimes you will remember and sometimes you won't, this is individual to the client and the session. We record our sessions so you will be able to replay them and listen again.
Can I get stuck in Hypnosis?
You can not get stuck in hypnosis. You will be guided by John Barry through the different stages and awake feeling refreshed and closer to your goal.
What is the Subconscious?
The Subconscious is the part of the mind which one is not fully aware but which influences one's actions and feelings. The easiest example to understand is that of driving, when you first started to drive you checked the mirrors, turn signals, adjusted the seat etc, now you just get in your car and drive. You have driven so many times at this point that it becomes a pattern that you access from your subconscious, these patterns are very useful during the average day, letting us operate efficiently in thought, you don't think through the actions of walking and chewing gum at the same time, you just do it. These patterns can become troublesome though if you have developed an unhealthy pattern with food, sex, anxiety, stress. These subconscious patterns can repeat without you wanting them to?
Why choose hypnosis?
One session of Hypnosis is equivalent to 6 sessions of talk therapy. The reason for this is that talk therapy takes the emotion or feeling from the subconscious to the conscious, Hypnosis access the subconscious where that feeling, emotion or pattern is stored.
Can I be Hypnotized against my will?
You can not be hypnotized against your will
Can the hypnotist make me do something I don't want to?
You can not be Hypnotized to do anything against your will.
Is Hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is completely safe.
Is Stage Hypnosis real?
It is extremely frowned upon in the Hypnotic world to use any stooges or plants during a Hypnosis show. The effects people are feeling are completely real.
