Have questions about hypnosis or hypnotherapy? You’re not alone. Here are the questions Elizabeth hears most often — answered honestly.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of focused relaxation where the conscious mind steps back and the subconscious becomes more receptive to positive suggestion. You’ve likely experienced it without realizing it — that absorbed feeling when you’re deep in a book, a movie, or a long drive.
Will I lose control during hypnosis?
Absolutely not. You are always in control. Hypnosis is not about giving up your will — it’s about directing it more effectively. You cannot be made to do anything against your values or beliefs.
Can anyone be hypnotized?
Most people can experience hypnosis to some degree. The key is willingness and openness. The more you want it to work, the more effective it tends to be.
How is hypnotherapy different from stage hypnosis?
Stage hypnosis is entertainment. Clinical hypnotherapy is a structured therapeutic process designed to help you achieve real, lasting change — whether that’s releasing weight, reducing anxiety, improving relationships, or elevating performance.
How many sessions will I need?
Every person is different. Some clients notice significant shifts after just one session. Most benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions depending on the goal. Elizabeth will tailor a plan specifically for you during your consultation.
What does hypnosis feel like?
Most clients describe it as deeply relaxing — similar to the feeling just before falling asleep, but with a heightened awareness. Many are surprised by how alert and in control they feel throughout.
Is hypnotherapy safe?
Yes. Hypnotherapy is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to personal change. The most common “side effect” is feeling deeply relaxed and refreshed afterward.
Can hypnotherapy work over the phone?
Yes! Elizabeth offers sessions by phone as well as in person for those local to the Boston area. Many clients find phone sessions just as effective — sometimes even more so, because you’re in the comfort of your own space.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
