How Hypnosis Works
Even though Hypnosis is often portrayed in the movies and media as a “gimmick” the real story is that hypnosis is actually a powerful tool to help people improve how they feel and change their behavior. We have helped hundreds of people in the Houston area with our Hypnosis for Weight Loss and Stop Smoking Hypnosis sessions.
The American and British Medical Associations both accepted hypnosis as a field of study back in the mid-1950s. Currently, it is part of the curriculum at such prestigious places as most branches of the US Military, Yale, Harvard, and Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. Hypnosis is routinely used by law enforcement, many professional athletes, business executives and coaches to improve performance and “get over” areas in which they might be stuck or held back from ideal performance.
Why? Because Hypnosis Works.
Hypnosis supports your decision to change in a relaxed and natural way.
Our minds work on two levels: the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, use logic, and analyze things with our conscious mind, or “left brain”. The unconscious mind or “right brain” controls our habits, imagination and emotions. In the physically and mentally relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can work directly with the unconscious mind. Then it becomes easy to change habits or emotions of a lifetime. It all starts with your decision.
“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.
You can learn a lot about how things work from people who have already been through what you’re thinking of doing now.

More FACTS about Hypnosis
Let’s dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.
Can I Be Hypnotized?
YES! Generally speaking, every normal person is “hypnotizable” — 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. Simple but effective.
Technically, as long as you are of average intelligence, and not under the influence of any substance, you could be a good candidate. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis. But of course, neither the hypnotherapist nor hypnosis can “make” someone do anything against their will.
How Will I Know When You Hypnotize Me?
Usually it’s a level of relaxation and peacefulness they have rarely if ever felt. 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!
Healthy Hypnosis For Weight Loss
You’ve tried every weight loss method there is: diets, exercise, pills, or maybe prepared meals. 
But the weight keeps coming back, sometimes more than before.
At Southeast Hypnosis, we offer a practical, comprehensive weight management programs that put 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, or counting calories/fat/etc., or 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.
Stop Smoking Hypnosis
Like most smokers who come to Southeast Hypnosis to stop smoking,
you’ve probably quit and started back smoking a lot of times. You’ve likely tried patches, gum, drugs, or gone cold turkey, but you just can’t get on top of it and quit for good.
Our Stop Smoking Hypnosis 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 – but it does support the decision you make to quit! 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 of 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 doing it 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.
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?
Stress Management
Stress and anxiety 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. In the extreme, some people have “panic attacks” where they get so anxious they feel they might pass out or even die.
At Southeast Hypnosis, we offer effective Stress Management to quickly train you how to relax your mind and body. Learn more on our Stress Management page, or call us today at 281-996-8000.
