Hypnosis Services in Gauteng

* The success of hypnosis largely depends on a person’s motivation to change;  Results may differ from person to person.  Some people can access a focused state quite easily and for others it may be a challenge.  This state can be learned.  Linda provides free cds with each session so that the person can practice.

How does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis is a trance state, just like a zoom lens on a camera which you access many times a day.  Examples of this are when you are day-dreaming, praying, engrossed in a book or a movie or when you are driving.  Oftentimes when we are driving and we have something on our mind we miss our off-ramp on the highway or arrive at our destination and wonder how did we get here?  In all of these examples of trance we might ask ourselves “Am I unconscious?”, or “Have I lost control”?  The answer, of course, is no.  Hypnosis is simply a state where mind and body are relaxed which gives one access to the subconscious mind.

The state of Hypnosis is a suggestible, open state where your subconscious mind is able to accept new thoughts as a reality.  Not only may hypnosis provide long-lasting results, but it also works in a completely different way than any other self-help techniques.

During your first session with Linda she will spend some time to get to know you in order to help you set some goals for subsequent sessions.  This provides a safe environment where you will be able to discuss any challenges, fears or needs that you have.

After this, Linda will work with you to elicit a relaxed state.  This state is nothing like the type of dazed/crazy state you see on television shows – you will be aware of everything that is being said and of everything happening around you.

In a  hypnotic trance, we have access to our subconscious mind and can re-pattern our thinking (as well as delve into relevant past issues – if required) in order to create a new belief system that can help us to think, feel and behave resourcefully.    Read more on How Hypnosis Works.

Below are some frequently asked questions about hypnosis:-

Does one have to access a deep trance for hypnosis to be successful?

Not at all.  We are all unique and some of us relax easier than others.  We do need to experience some deeper states in order to regress back to our childhood but regression is not always essential to makes changes in how we think, feel and behave.

Because our mind and body are connected we can change our physiology (including the neural pathways of our brain) simply by what we imagine.

You might like to test this;  Close your eyes and remember a time when you had a negative emotion such as anger, fear or hurt.  Take a few moments to go back to that time seeing all the sights that were a part of that experience, hearing the sounds and noticing what you were saying to yourself.  Spend a few minutes playing the movie of that event in your mind and when you are ready, open your eyes coming back into the present moment.  You will have noticed that perhaps your breathing changed, you felt physical sensations in your body and maybe your heart beat changed.  This is because our body doesn’t know the difference between what we imagine and what is actually happening.  

Can the hypnotist make me do something against my will like in the movies?

 A hypnotist doesn’t have any special powers, he or she has been trained to speak to you in a certain way to help you relax and using suggestions and imagery help you to achieve your goal.  Your mind has its natural defences and will always protect itself.  I have many clients see me because they want to perhaps stop smoking or lose weight.  Unless they are motivated and are open to changing their habits then hypnosis alone will not help.

What can hypnosis be used for? 

Hypnosis is known to be effective in uncovering and understanding why we feel and behave the way we do and is an effective tool for change.

Can one learn self-hypnosis?

Yes, one can learn these techniques;  A trained hypnotherapist can teach you this in just one session.

How Many Hypnosis  Sessions are Required?

Many clients ask Linda – how many sessions will I require? This is really dependent on you, your motivation to change and how you experience hypnosis.    When undergoing hypnosis we are communicating directly with the subconscious mind, so change can often be noticed in just a few sessions.

But why don’t you Contact Linda today discuss with her what you want to change?   If you need further information then have a look at these Case Studies on Hypnotherapy* to see how Linda has helped many people achieve permanent transformation.
