Addressing Common Concerns About Hypnotherapy
At Light Manor Hypnotherapy, we understand that stepping into the world of hypnosis can bring questions and uncertainties. Here’s how we address some of the most common concerns to help you feel confident and comfortable in your hypnotherapy journey:
​
​
1. “I’m Afraid of What I Might Find”
​
Your subconscious mind is naturally protective. It won’t reveal anything you’re not ready to handle. If an experience arises during hypnosis, it means you are capable of processing it.
-
Gentle Approach: We won’t push your subconscious to do anything it’s not ready for. Every step of the way, we’ll ask for your permission and proceed only when you feel safe.
-
Awareness and Choice: You’ll retain awareness throughout the process. You can speak, stop, or adjust the session at any time.
-
Why It’s Worth It: Discovering an emotionally powerful cause of an issue is transformative. While it may feel intense in the moment, working through it is often the key to long-term healing and growth.

2. Will Hypnosis Work for Me?
​
“My memory isn’t good.”
It’s common for people to feel like they don’t remember much about their early years. That’s okay! During regression, your subconscious often reveals memories or sensations you thought were inaccessible. Many clients are surprised by how much they recall during a session.
​
“I can’t relax.”
If you believe you can’t relax, you’ve already demonstrated powerful self-hypnosis skills—convincing yourself of something so strongly! We’ll teach you how to redirect that ability to work for you, helping you relax and access the healing benefits of hypnosis.
​
“I can’t give up control.”
Hypnosis doesn’t involve giving up control—it’s about gaining control. You choose to enter hypnosis, and you can choose to come out of it at any time. In fact, you’re here because you want to regain control over habits or emotions. Hypnosis helps you achieve exactly that.
​
“Can I be hypnotized?”
The answer lies in your willingness. If you choose to block the process, you can. But if you decide to work with hypnosis to achieve your goals, you will succeed. As the saying goes: “If you think you can, you’re right. If you think you can’t, you’re right.”

3. What Will Hypnosis Feel Like?
​
Each person’s experience is unique, and even the same person can have different experiences during separate sessions. Here’s what you might feel:
​
-
Body Sensations: A sense of heaviness or lightness, sinking or floating, tingling or warmth.
-
Mental States: Calm and clarity, focused concentration, daydream-like drifting, or peaceful confidence.
-
Emotional Range: Hypnosis can involve any emotion—from joy to sadness—and still maintain a deep, relaxed state.
-

You may find yourself drifting away from the words but connecting with the deeper meaning of the communication. Whether your eyes are open or closed, whether you’re still or moving, you can remain in hypnosis and fully engaged in the process.
