Yes. Everyone with the ability to follow simple instructions and a willingness to participate can enter a useful hypnotic state. In fact you enter one naturally at least twice a day — as you fall asleep and as you wake. Depth varies between people, but depth is not what determines results.

Your body relaxes and your thoughts become more focused. Like other relaxation techniques, hypnosis lowers blood pressure and heart rate and changes certain kinds of brain-wave activity. You feel at ease physically yet fully awake mentally. Most people are surprised that they hear every word and could get up and walk out at any moment — and surprised by how relaxing it is.

It is not possible to get stuck in hypnosis. All trances end, whether the hypnotherapist formally ends them or you end them naturally by yourself. Hypnosis is a state we enter and leave constantly in daily life.

No. You remain entirely in control and aware of what you do and don't say. Nobody can make you say or do anything you don't want to. Hypnosis increases receptivity to suggestion; it does not remove your judgement or your values.

Issues of psychogenic or functional origin are worked with only on referral from a physician or licensed mental-health professional, and for cancer support a referral is always required.

Yes, by video, anywhere in California. You'll need a quiet room, a stable connection and roughly an hour without interruption. For most of the work offered here, online sessions are as effective as in-person.

It varies by issue. Habit and relaxation work is often three to five sessions; smoking cessation two to four; anxiety typically four to eight; weight and tinnitus work usually longer. You'll get a realistic estimate at the consultation rather than an open-ended commitment.
