Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Yes, it absolutely is real.

Often clients ask this question in relation to stage hypnosis, and whether the participants are acting or not.

Samantha doesn’t do stage hypnosis or hypnosis for entertainment, but we can say that acting or enhancing a hypnotic performance on these shows cannot be excluded.

Having said that, hypnosis is such a powerful state that, as an experiment we challenge you to try to bite into an onion whilst trying to believe it is an apple!

Can you do it?!

No, this is false!

Everyone can go into hypnosis and hence be hypnotised!

Samantha does not see clients with hard drug addiction (only marijuana), or men with sexual issues and/or sex addictions.

If you have been diagnosed as psychotic or schizophrenic, have had a psychotic episode in the past, are on antipsychotics, and/or have made an attempt on your life, Samantha will need a referral from your psychiatrist to work with you with no limitations.

How many sessions needed to reach your goals will depend on your issues, whether simple or complex, and how quickly you adapt to change.

A minimum of 4 Sessions per issue is required to fully resolve it.

However, the “Addiction Package for Quitting Smoking, Moderating Alcohol or Stopping Gambling” is a 2 session package.

No, hypnosis is not mind control.

However, it is important that you can trust your Clinical Hypnotherapist, be confident with her expertise and experience, and know that she will adhere to stringent ethical guidelines.

No, you will be aware and recall the session as clearly as you may recall a conversation that lasts about the same time.

The confusion over “unconscious” and “subconscious” may arise with terminology.

Americans seem to prefer the term unconscious, whereas we in Australia prefer subconscious, although they can be used interchangeably.

A Hypnotist usually refers to entertainment or stage hypnotism, where no therapy is given to resolve or facilitate change.

On the other hand, therapeutic hypnosis by a hypnotherapist involves guiding the client into hypnosis and applying techniques, giving suggestions and facilitating therapeutic change.

How many techniques, therapy tools and styles of hypnosis therapy utilized by a Clinical Hypnotherapist will be dependent on their training, interest and ongoing professional development, experience and what works successfully.

Trance is a word favoured by Americans and is the same as hypnosis.

Sometimes called a hypnotic trance.

This is a hotly debated topic.

Our clients who are long-term meditators say that it is very similar but far more profound because it involves being guided to resolve issues by our Clinical Hypnotherapist.

Research shows that hypnosis accesses different parts of the brain than meditation, but ultimately it feels similar!

Yes, you make the decisions on what works best for you.

If you are unsure, or if there is an overlap that isn’t conducive to moving forward, we can discuss this in session.

No referral is required at North Shore & City Hypnotherapy Sydney, UNLESS you:
have been diagnosed as psychotic or schizophrenic;
have had a psychotic episode in the past;
are on antipsychotics; and/or
have made an attempt on your life.

If any of the above applies to you, Samantha will need a referral from your psychiatrist to work with you with no limitations.

YES, you can without any problems, interactions or side effects from experiencing hypnosis UNLESS you:
have been diagnosed as psychotic or schizophrenic;
have had a psychotic episode in the past;
are on antipsychotics; and/or
have made an attempt on your life.

If any of the above applies to you, a referral from your psychiatrist will be required to see Samantha for therapeutic hypnosis at North Shore & City Hypnotherapy Sydney.

Please do NOT discontinue medication unless under the advice or supervision of your GP or psychiatrist.
