| Frequently Asked Questions How much does a session cost? The regular session cost is $75.00. However, fees are based on a sliding scale and special arrangements can be made if needed. Will my insurance cover this? You would need to check with your insurance carrier to see if a benefit for hypnotherapy is provided. Most people are more than willing to pay out of pocket when they are truly ready to address their issue/condition in a manner that may succeed where other modalities covered by insurance have failed. I've been told I can't be hypnotized, or I'm afraid of losing control. Will this work for me? Hypnosis is merely a state of deep relaxation and most people are willing to enter that state when they are truly ready for change, and when they have sufficient trust and rapport with the facilitator. No loss of control occurs. You will remain awake and in control of your body and speech at all times. You may become so deeply relaxed that you feel temporarily as if you cannot move, but if this occurs, it is because it is your choice to enter this state. What results will I get? It is very common for a critical awareness to be revealed on a first session that feels miraculous and life changing. However, every issue is different and every individual responds differently. You will get the results you want when you are able to clearly communicate the nature of the situation that needs to change to the therapist, and when you are open to the solutions that come. How many sessions will I need? Again, this varies depending on the nature of the issues at hand. Results can be very fast. For example, if you are afraid to fly and only have time for one session before your plane leaves, you can expect to achieve meaningful results that will be helpful in only one session. If you are dealing with past trauma, many sessions may be needed to facilitate healing and change. The number of sessions you schedule is up to you. Your therapist will discuss this with you. Will I remember my session? Most people remember their sessions in detail, although occasionally people block out awareness or information that comes to light during a session because they aren't ready for it. You are welcome to tape record your sessions and this may be useful to reinforce the positive solutions and abilities that you uncover. Can I Tape Record My Session? Yes. This is encouraged. You can bring a tape recorder or I will tape your session for you and give you the tape. Bring a blank tape to your session. |
