Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnosis

At Breakthrough Hypnosis, we understand you may have questions before beginning. That’s perfectly natural! Below are answers to the most common questions people ask—designed to reassure, inform, and help you feel confident about taking your next step toward lasting change.

Absolutely! Hypnosis works in your mind and subconscious, not in a specific location. Whether online or in person, the process and results are the same. In fact, many clients prefer Zoom sessions because they can relax in the comfort of their own home.

The only difference is how recordings are delivered: in person, you hear your recording live during the session; with Zoom, your session is recorded immediately after and emailed to you as an MP3. Everything else—the structure, questions, techniques, and outcomes—remains the same.

👉 At Breakthrough Hypnosis, you can trust your results will be just as effective online as in person.

For most people, yes! Hypnosis is a natural state of mind—similar to daydreaming, being “in the zone,” or driving on autopilot. Almost everyone can be hypnotized if they are open and willing.

The only exceptions are individuals under the influence of drugs/alcohol or those with certain severe mental health conditions. Otherwise, hypnosis is safe, natural, and highly effective for creating positive change.

👉 If you can focus and imagine, Breakthrough Hypnosis can help you succeed.

Yes. Hypnosis is 100% safe and natural. You cannot get stuck, forced, or controlled. At all times, you remain aware and in charge.

Instead of giving up control, hypnosis helps you gain control over habits, emotions, and thought patterns that once felt automatic. Clients often describe the experience as calming, empowering, and life-changing.

Most people describe hypnosis as:

  • A deep sense of calm and focus.
  • Like being absorbed in a great movie or book.
  • Peaceful, refreshing, and mentally energizing.

You remain aware and in control, but your mind is deeply relaxed and open to positive suggestion.

It depends on the depth of relaxation. In lighter states, you’ll remember everything. In deeper states, you may not recall every detail, but your subconscious absorbs all the suggestions that help you make lasting changes.

👉 At Breakthrough Hypnosis, no matter the depth, your mind always keeps the benefits.

Yes! Hypnosis works by rewiring your subconscious to create new, healthier habits. Many clients experience long-term success after just a few sessions.

To help you stay on track, Breakthrough Hypnosis provides reinforcement tools and includes long-term success suggestions in every session. We also address any hidden “secondary gains” (the unconscious reasons you may have held onto old habits).

👉 Your breakthrough can last a lifetime with the right support.

Not at all! This is one of the biggest myths about hypnosis. You never lose control—in fact, hypnosis gives you greater access to your own mind and the ability to change the patterns you want to change.

Stage hypnosis shows have created the illusion of “mind control,” but therapeutic hypnosis is very different. You are always aware and always in charge. If you ever wanted to stop, you could open your eyes and return to full alertness immediately.

👉 At Breakthrough Hypnosis, you’re not giving up control—you’re taking it back.

Hypnosis is safe, effective, and empowering. Whether you want to break old habits, reduce stress, or create lasting personal change, Breakthrough Hypnosis is here to help.
