What Actually Happens During a Hypnosis Session?

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Hypnosis

Have you ever wondered what really happens during a hypnosis session?

Hypnosis can seem mysterious, especially if you've never experienced it yourself. That's why I was delighted to contribute a guest article to How Healthcare Works, taking readers behind the scenes of my professional hypnosis practice.

Using smoking cessation as an example, I walk through the process step by step—from our initial conversation and preparing for hypnosis to working with deeply ingrained habits, beliefs, and automatic responses.

Whether you're curious about hypnosis or considering it for yourself, this article offers a glimpse into what you can expect when working with me.
