Q. Can I use more than one CD at a time?
A. Of course. It is worth considering that you may have
a preferred time for the CD’s to work for you (many people listen to them as they go to sleep) so it may be worth working
with one at a time or alternate them each night if you have more than one
Q. When will the changes start to happen?
A. This varies based upon the type of CD, how ‘ready’
you are to change and how relaxed you can allow yourself to be when listening to the CD. You should expect to notice improvements
straight away. You may have to wait for a couple of weeks before some bigger changes start to happen. Persistence is the key
point here - keeping o listening to the CD for at least 13 days (to help create a new habit/way of thinking). Remember, we
are looking for a positive and permanent change and you may have many years of imbedded behaviour to change!
Q. Is hypnotherapy a form of mind control?
A. No. It is a form of thought therapy to help a person
get in touch with their own subconscious mind and the person’s own solutions.
Q. Will I be asleep?
A. That depends on you, how you relax and how tired you are. People usually
don't experience sleep in the true biological sense when listening to a hypnotherapy CD. In fact, there are as many people
who have a heightened awareness as there are who go ‘out’. The CD will busy the left hand side of your brain (the
analytical, logical, reasoning half) and look to connect with the right brain (accepting, imagining, creative side). About
20% of the population will be easily capable of achieving a deep trance (theta) state. We call them Somnambulists and they
are the ones that stage hypnotists look for in the audience to be "Putty In The Hands" of the stage hypnotist for their show.
Q. Does it still work if fall asleep?
A. Yes. Imagine you are at a party and there are loads of people
talking. It may be difficult to hear things but you can notice when someone says your name. Your subconscious brain will still
be busy listening to the CD. This can be quite enlightening because listening to the CD isn’t ‘work’ and
you may hear the whole CD but hear something completely different the next time you listen. This is an indication that the
listener is drifting between sleep, deep and light hypnosis.
Q. What negative side effects have been reported from people who have used hypnotherapy CDs?
A. There
have never been any reports of negative experiences using CD’s People can feel a little groggy during or after listening
to the CD but this is only temporary. There may be some emotions (depending upon the change required) as people release themselves
from a long held negative habit or emotional issue.
Q. What exactly is Hypnosis?
A. Never easy to describe! It is where there is a feeling of detachment
but there is still an awareness. Some examples of hypnotic states are:
Driving along a motorway and realising you have
no recollection of the last 5 minutes
Day dreaming or planning a holiday
Television adverts using hypnotic techniques
Watching
a favourite film and chilling out

Q. What if it doesn’t work?
A. Standard CD’s don’t always work for everybody. First
of all, make sure your hypnotherapist is trained, insured and a member of a relevant Institute or sector Association. The
investment on a standard CD is minimal and the approach has to be general to appeal to as many people as possible. A custom
CD will help you relate to the words and style and has a higher chance of success. If the CD is still not working, you may
wish to consider a telephone hypnotherapy session or a booking at our Centre.
One other aspect to consider is that change
will not happen without your consent. Make up your own mind about hypnotherapy after you have given it a go. All too often
nowadays we will pre-judge things based on how it fits in our world. This prejudice can be very limiting.
Q. How Do The Hypnosis CDs Work?
A.
The FREETHINK CDs lead you towards a state of deep hypnosis through a combination of words, music and sounds. Your subconscious
mind is very receptive to directly spoken suggestions and this is easy to do once the conscious (judgemental) mind is distracted
and/or relaxed.
Our conscious mind can typically only process 7 (+/-2) pieces of information at the same time. The subconscious
mind is still being understood but it is known to be receiving over 2,000,000 pieces of information per second. The conscious
mind makes the quick decisions and responds to thought and free will. The subconscious mind manages all the other aspects
of your body and being including the equivalent of sat nav, cruise control, climate control, humidifier, planned maintenance,
waste disposal, energy conversion, growth management, alarm systems and ventilation (to name but a few). All this is done
with minimal awareness and input from the conscious mind.
We work with the subconscious mind by offering suggestions to
create some new patterns and behaviours, in line with your needs and expectations
Q. How Do I Use The Hypnotherapy CDs?
A.
Listen to the CD each day for around 2-3 weeks. You cannot listen to it too many times so feel free to keep on listening to
it for a much longer period. Once a day is optimal but if you want to listen to it twice a day, that’s fine.
The
only caveat is that you shouldn’t listen to it if you are operating any kind of machinery and you definitely mustn’t
listen to it whilst driving.
Using the CDs couldn’t be easier.
One final point, these CDs are not meant to replace
anything you are doing with your doctor. Despite there being some evidence to the contrary, I have to clearly state by law
that hypnotherapy is not intended to replace any medical treatments or medicines that you are taking. If in doubt, please
chat with your doctor before buying any CD
