About Hypnosis

Hypnosis supports your decision to change in a relaxed and natural way.

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education.We are so confident in our methods that we offer a 2 year guarantee. If you ever start smoking again, whether it is two days or two years down the road, call us and we will get you back in at no extra charge.

At the Southeast Hypnosis Center, we use advanced therapeutic hypnosis, combined with Neurolinguistics to help with healthy weight loss, smoking cessation, and stress management.

Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. Let’s dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

How Does Hypnosis Work?

Our minds work on two levels: the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits and imagination. In the physically and mentally relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can work directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits or emotions of a lifetime with hypnosis.
“When I walked in the office to see Julie today, my nerves were on high alert. After my session, I was in a FAR more relaxed and in control state.”
--William G.

Can You Hypnotize Me?

Generally speaking, every normal person is "hypnotizable" T- as long as they want to be, because at it’s essence, hypnosis is just being physically and mentally relaxed, and paying attention to the verbal suggestions given to you. Pretty simple, really!

Technically, anyone with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders could be a good candidate. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis. But of course, neither the hypnotist nor hypnosis can “make” somebody do anything against their will.

“Enjoyed very much. Has helped greatly.”
--Claude K.

How Will I Know When You Hypnotize Me?

Most people can't tell the difference between being hypnotized and just being relaxed in the waking state. Some people simply feel deeply relaxed or calm, others feel a lightness. So don’t expect to feel “weird”! One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors. Hypnosis is a normal state of focused attention where emotions or behaviors can be affected or influenced through suggestion and repetition.

Is Hypnosis Safe?

Hypnosis is completely safe. When we hypnotize you, you are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis. You definitely can't be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience. Some clients tell us it’s the highlight of their week!

In What Areas Can Hypnosis Help?

Healthy Weight Loss

You've tried every weight loss method there is: special diets, exercise, pills, and prepared meals. But the weight keeps coming back, sometimes more than before.

At Southeast Hypnosis, we offer a practical, comprehensive weight management program that puts you on the path to getting results and a lifetime of continuing success. Learn more on our Weight Loss page.

Hypnosis is a much different approach than diets (which most studies suggest fail 95% of the time) or forcing yourself to restrict or eliminate foods you like, counting calories/fat/etc., and weighing yourself constantly. Most of our successful clients tell us those methods just don’t work.

Hypnosis supports the your decision to lose weight now by helping to naturally shift your preferences and choices because you want to. Not because you have to. It will help create possibilities in your mind that can make big differences in your choices, states of mind and results.

Smoking Cessation

Like most smokers who come to Southeast Hypnosis to stop smoking, you’ve probably quit and started smoking a lot of times, tried patches, gum, drugs, or cold turkey, but you just can’t get on top of it and quit for good.

Our quit smoking program simply undoes the habit you've built up over all those years – usually in the first visit. As you know, hypnosis can’t “make” you quit – the responsibility is yours - learn more on our Smoking Cessation page.

The real reason people smoke is very similar to using hypnosis itself. That may be why thousands of people have used hypnosis to support their decision to quit smoking.

If you give it some thought, you may remember that when you smoked your first cigarette, you coughed. You might have even choked on the smoke. For most folks, it takes several times lying to themselves while suffering through the cigarette when they start smoking in order to finally be able to take the stench, physical discomfort and hassle.

All you’re going to do is use the same type of process in a positive way, using fixation and repetition to remind yourself of the truth. You were not born with an urge to smoke. You had to basically hypnotize yourself into doingit when you were stressed, or bored, angry or nervous. After a while, it seemed like smoking was how you got out of those unwanted states of mind. Nothing could be further from the truth.

What if you could use hypnosis to train yourself to deal with those unwanted states of mind without using cigarettes as the cue to change your mind?

“Before I came here, I thought life without cigarettes was not possible. Julie’s treatment and my choice to give up smoking has worked. I am now a non-smoker after 30 years, 2 packs a day. I could not have done it on my own.
--Gwen H.

Stress Management

Stress and tension are hard on your health. They can reduce blood circulation, impair physical healing, and steal away the energy and enthusiasm we need to get through the day. Chronic pain is very similar.
