Will I remember what happens during hypnosis after I come out of my trance?
Different people maintain different degrees of conscious presence during trance. Some people are proud to report remembering everything that was said during the hypnotic session. Others report remembering certain pieces of their experience, but not much else. Some report little or no memory of their hypnotic experience. Without the hypnotherapist even attempting to induce any amnesia, memory functions are quite varied from person to person.
Will I be asleep?
Hypnosis is different than sleep. Developing hypnotic trance places the conscious mind in a secondary position relative to the unconscious mind. If the conscious mind relinquishes its observing presence completely, the experience will feel much like falling asleep. The brain wave activity of sleep typically differs from that of hypnotic trance.
Is hypnosis safe?
Yes, hypnosis is quite safe when used with a qualified professional for a mutually agreed upon purpose. At
