Frequently asked questions
These answers outline the general framework for sessions. We can discuss any question relating to your situation during our first conversation.
Does hypnosis work for everyone?
People respond differently, but hypnosis is a natural state that everyone experiences several times a day without necessarily noticing it. You do not need to be “receptive” in the way the term is often understood: above all, you need to be willing to let yourself be guided.
Will I lose control during the session?
No. Contrary to the image presented in stage shows, therapeutic hypnosis does not involve losing control. You remain conscious, you hear what is being said and you can stop the session at any time. You will not say or do anything against your will.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your request, what you would like to work on and your own pace. We discuss this during the first consultation and review it together regularly.
What happens during the first session?
It lasts about two hours. The first part is devoted to conversation: understanding your situation, what brings you to the session and what you would like to change. The second part is a hypnosis session.
What if I do not feel receptive to hypnosis?
This is a common concern and is rarely well founded. Hypnosis requires no particular effort from you. If an approach does not suit you, we discuss it and adapt the way we work.
From what age can someone have a session?
I welcome children, teenagers and adults. For those under 16, the first session lasts 90 minutes. The framework for the support is explained to the parent when the appointment is booked.
Does hypnosis replace medical care?
No. Therapeutic hypnosis is a complementary form of support. It is not a substitute for medical treatment or ongoing psychological care, and it does not remove the need to consult a doctor.
Can I cancel or reschedule an appointment?
If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please let me know as soon as possible so that we can arrange another date.
Is hypnosis covered by health insurance?
Coverage depends on your supplementary insurance and your policy. Before booking an appointment, contact your insurer directly to check the applicable conditions. Reimbursement cannot be guaranteed.
Do you still have a question?
You can contact me before booking an appointment if you would like to clarify something about your situation.
