Generally speaking, hypnotherapy is quite safe. It’s normally very relaxing and pleasant. In fact, clients tell me that the hypnosis part of a session is the bit they really look forward to.
A hypnotherapist doesn’t make you do things you don’t want to do. They don’t make you do things … they suggest … they lead you … it’s up to you to decide whether or not you want to follow them.
I practice solution-focused hypnotherapy, which doesn’t dig into your past, because I don’t care where your issues have come from. What I care about is where you’re going to. So I don’t ask you to re-live your past traumas, which might make you more stressed about them.
There are a few exceptional times when I would consider it potentially unsafe to use hypnosis. So I wouldn’t hypnotise someone with psychosis or someone in the manic phase of bipolar disorder, for example, or someone who came to me drunk or high on drugs.
When performed by a properly trained hypnotherapist, hypnotherapy is very safe … and it’s a pleasant way to help you sort out your issues.
