Frequently Asked Questions

Can everybody be hypnotized?

Yes, with the small exception of people who are mentally handicapped. Everybody else is on a continuum, meaning that some people will go in to hypnosis very quickly, like seconds or just a few minutes. On the other end of the continuum are people who take a while to get into hypnosis, but a while means only 10 minutes.

Is it like stage hypnosis? Or Will I quack like a duck?

Amanda uses hypnosis only in a therapeutic way. The truth is that you will never do anything in hypnosis that you would not do awake. It is NOT mind control. You are in control the whole time. This is why you have to want to be hypnotized in order for it to work.

Will I be asleep or knocked out?

NO! Hypnosis is NOT sleep, it is a normal state of consciousness that we all pass through several times a day. If you have ever been driving and arrived at your destination and did not remember the details of you drive — you were in a light state of hypnosis. Any time we get lost in a great book or a movie and forget where we are and who we are with because we are lost in the story — we are in a light state of hypnosis.

When in hypnosis you will hear everything Amanda says, remember everything that happens. You are aware, but deeply relaxed.

Do I need to have someone drive me?

NO! You will feel perfectly normal when you session is complete. Actually, you will feel great! Like you have had a great nap. Plus you will sleep beautifully that night.  end of section marker
