10 Surprising Facts About the Science of Hypnosis
1. You ARE awake. Even though you may feel relaxed, you remain completely awake during hypnosis! Hypnosis is a state of being hyper aware! The body is relaxed and the mind is available to incorporate suggestions for the person's best life.
2. You have already been HYPNOTIZED. The average person experiences hypnosis at least twice a day. If you have ever fallen asleep you have been in hypnosis. The moments right before you fall asleep or right before you wake up are hypnotic states. If you have ever driven somewhere and you realized you that you do not remember the whole trip. If you have ever been deeply immersed in a television program or movie and are not aware of what is going on around you. You have been in hypnosis.
3. Hypnosis has been around for a long time. Recorded descriptions of Hypnosis dates to ancient Egypt (and maybe even before).
4. You can hypnotize yourself. Hypnosis can also be called a meditative state or a reflective state.
5. Stage hypnosis and clinical hypnosis are quite different. In other words, if you come to see me, you will not end up clucking like a chicken. Unless you really want to, but that has not been anything a person has asked for!

7. You can talk and move in hypnosis. Not all sessions are designed to have the client speak during hypnosis sessions, but you are able to talk if necessary.

Also, if you need to scratch your nose, move or go to the restroom, we just go right back into the relaxed state after.
8. Hypnosis by a hypnotist and hypnosis by a licensed therapist are different. Hypnotherapy would be performed by a licensed counselor, social worker, psychologist or psychiatrist. Hypnosis would be performed by a certified hypnotist or a consulting hypnotist. Look at the credentials before scheduling your appointment.
9. It is impossible to become stuck in a hypnotized trance. This is not the movies; this is real life. There are several movies that show a person “getting stuck” in hypnosis. Two examples that come to mind are “Office Space” and “Get out.”
10. Hypnosis feels different to different people. Some people feel a sensation of heaviness in their limbs, some people feel light like they are floating, other people feel as though they’ve had a nice nap and yet others may feel that they were just listening to a friend with their eyes closed.
