Q
I have been afraid to try hypnosis because it seems like mind control. Is it safe?
A.
Clinical hypnosis with a qualified professional is gentle and respectful. You decide the agenda and the therapist follows that agenda. In light hypnosis, you are aware at all times, and nothing occurs without your agreement.
Q. I'm afraid I will remember something horrible. What
would be the point of that?
A. Your spirit mind is very wise and knows when you are ready to face unpleasant or even traumatic
memories. If this happens, Julia
will help you deal with the memories and resolve them for good!
Q.
I have tried to be hypnotized but it didn't work. Is
there hope for me?
A. Yes, there is hope for everyone. We are all in and out of hypnotic trances naturally all day long. However, some people are easier to formally hypnotize than others. Some people are afraid to be vulnerable (for good reason), or they resist authority (also for good reason). Others don't visualize easily and might think they are not hypnotized because they can't "see
." Clinical depression or chronic use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco tend to dampen the experience. However, Julia starts where you are and works with you until you get
where you want to be, usually in the first session.
Q. What is the average number of sessions people work with Julia?
A.
It depends upon your goals. A great deal is accomplished in just one session. Many people like to follow up a first session with another the next week. The average number of sessions people work with Julia is four but some types of trauma will need several weeks or even months to resolve.
