No. You remain aware and in control at all times. Hypnosis simply helps you focus inward and access deeper levels of awareness. You can always choose to accept or reject any suggestion.

Most people describe it as a state of deep relaxation or focused calmness—similar to daydreaming or being absorbed in a movie. You are not asleep; your mind is simply more receptive to helpful ideas.

Nearly everyone can experience hypnosis if they are willing and able to focus attention. It’s a natural state that people enter every day—for example, while reading, driving, or watching TV.

Hypnotherapy can be helpful for a wide range of goals, including:

• Reducing anxiety or stress
• Improving sleep
• Changing habits (such as smoking or overeating)
• Enhancing confidence or motivation
• Managing pain and discomfort
• Increasing focus or performance in work, sports, or academics
