One of the biggest myths about hypnosis is that you’re supposed to stop hearing the hypnotist or lose awareness completely.
In reality, many people hear every word, remain aware of their surroundings, and still benefit from hypnosis.
Have you ever finished a hypnosis session wondering whether anything happened because you remained aware throughout?
I’d be interested to know how you would describe your experience.

Hi – great explanation. I recently had some sessions and wondered why I wasn’t going into a more trance like state. It led me to thinking negatively about the power of hypnosis. Now you’ve given me a different perspective. Thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to write and share that Adam, much appreciated – and I’m delighted of being able to provide an alternative perspective! Best wishes to you, Adam.
