Will I be unconscious when in hypnosis?
No. Many people think that hypnosis is sleep or loss of awareness.
That's not true. In hypnosis, you do not fall asleep or lose
conscious awareness. You are alert and aware of everything
at all times. You can hear everything the hypnotherapist says
to you.

Will I be made to do crazy things...like cluck like a chicken?
No. People gain a misconception from watching hypnosis stage
shows. The stage hypnotist is an entertainer and the participants
volunteer to go on stage and perform silly things They are
giving their consent to act silly.

I am concerned that I won't be in control when I'm in hypnosis.
Hypnosis is not about losing control or surrendering ones
will. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. This means a person
who does not want to be hypnotized cannot be so. There is no
magic
or voodoo involved.

If I get hypnotized does that mean I am "weak minded"?
If you are hypnotized, you are NOT weak-minded. According
to experts, there is a scientific correlation between intelligence
and the ability to be hypnotized. The greater the intelligence,
the better the hypnotic subject.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. It is simply impossible to "get stuck" in a
state of hypnosis. Remember, in hypnosis you are always awake,
alert and in control. To come out of hypnosis, you simply
open your eyes and you terminate the hypnotic state.
