FAQs

There are many misconceptions surrounding hypnosis due to its portrayal in entertainment hypnosis shows, leading to the impression that one might be manipulated against their will.

​

I understand your apprehension and would like to reassure you on this matter.

Humanistic Hypnosis operates in contrast to traditional forms of hypnosis. The use of hypnotic techniques aimed at 'opening up' leads to an expansion or elevation of consciousness and indeed induces a recognizable hypnotic state characterized by trance-like signs. Contrary to what is typically associated with usual hypnosis (Ericksonian or classical), it does not require letting go or loss of consciousness. There is no dissociation, and the individual does not 'fall asleep.' As a result, there is no interference or manipulation from the therapist.

In Humanistic Hypnosis, the therapist remains neutral and assumes the role of a guide. Instead of applying psychological treatment 'to' the individual seeking help, they 'assist' in shifting their state of ordinary consciousness towards greater self-awareness, almost as if they were becoming more awake.

This awakening allows the individual to connect with life within themselves and the world around them, on both material and subtle levels. They achieve an enhanced state of consciousness that bridges the natural gap between the conscious and the unconscious. By accessing the deep and essential layers of their psychology, the wounds of their subconscious become apparent. The individual encounters the information that needs modification, the resources that need activation, and the personal, generational, or collective memories that require cleansing. The therapist then guides them on how to self-heal and act in alignment with what feels right for them.

They learn these processes, which they can later reuse independently, gaining autonomy and reducing the risk of relapse. Empowered to act freely and play an active role in their transformation, they become creators of their reality.
