The first session runs from one and a half to two hours long. The first 30- 45 minutes is used to obtain information.  The remainder of the time is used to hypnotize the client. You will want to wear loose fitting comfortable clothing since relaxation is a main focus.  It is at this time that forms are filled out and information attained by both the hypnotherapist and the client.  The hypnotherapist will want to discuss with the client any medical issues he/she may have as well as what brings them to seek hypnosis.  It is at this point that the client will relay why he/she is seeking treatment and what he wants to gain from hypnosis.  The goals are then discussed and agreed upon. 

The hypnotherapist will explain the process of hypnosis and reiterate on what the client hopes to accomplish.  In a soft, gentle voice, the hypnotherapist will proceed to induce a state of deep relaxation using guided imagery, aromatherapy and relaxing music.  Once in that deeply relaxed state, the hypnotherapist suggests ways for you to achieve your specific goals, such as losing weight or eliminating the fear of flying.  After that is done, the hypnotherapist gently brings you back out of your trance-like state. 

You will leave the office feeling deeply relaxed, empowered, fulfilled and transformed.

Cost per session is $125

As far as how many sessions you would need, it would depend on how deeply rooted the issue is.  The average is 2 sessions but it is possible it could be done in as little as one session.  It is important to note that this would never be considered long term treatment.
