Hypnosis is not magic - it is science! It works by creating a surge of brainwaves similar to what you experience in REM sleep. This is what allows you to access the subconscious mind. It's very simple and anyone can do it; you will experience it for yourself when you try it.

The experience feels different for everyone. Some people feel a floating sensation, some do not. Others may feel sleepy, some may not. Most people feel relaxed and at ease. The important thing to know is that the feeling is not an indicator of how effective the process is. Regardless of how it feels - it works.

No. You are in complete control. You cannot be forced into anything, and you cannot be put into hypnosis against your will. It is your experience; I merely support you.

I start by guiding you into a very relaxed hypnotic state. You are always in control and will remember everything afterwards. In this relaxed state with access to your subconscious mind, we look at scenes from your life that have to do with where your deeper beliefs (that drive your current behavior) come from. Beliefs that are blocking you in your life today. We dissolve and transform negative beliefs into positive patterns of action. Finally, you will receive an audio recording that is personalized to you and that you will listen to consistently for at least the next 21 days.

The session always ends with a so-called "transformation", which means that all that you wish for at the beginning is still strengthened and manifested at the end. Shortly after the session you may feel tired and exhausted and have the feeling that you are not yet fully back. We always do a debriefing after the session - we discuss together how you have been. In the following days, it may be that images and emotions from your subconscious come up repeatedly, which can now be worked on. This can happen both in your sleep, i.e., in your dreams, and in your waking state in everyday life. This is a good sign that your system is working and reorganizing itself. It is very important to listen to the personalized audio for the next 21 days so that the positive change achieved is stabilized. Our subconscious mind would otherwise tend to revert to old patterns and behaviors. We remain in contact with you after the session and accompany you in the change process.

It may sound too simply at first glance, but you can tell when you are getting closer to your goal or have reached it. Many clients describe hypnosis and trance as a state like the feeling just before falling asleep, i.e., like a kind of intermediate state between being awake and being asleep. During hypnosis there are changes in feeling, thinking and physical experience. As a rule, you feel a deep sense of relaxation. The following characteristics can help describe the trance state: Calmer breathing, the heartbeat and pulse slow down in a healthy way, the muscles relax, facial expressions change (the facial muscles become looser and sometimes the mouth opens, the body feels calm and relaxed without the desire to move immediately. Sometimes involuntary muscle movements and twitches etc. are noticed.

Don't worry about how deep you go, it really doesn't matter. The depth of the trance has nothing at all to do with the results. So do not get stuck on the question "am I deep enough?" Just tell yourself the truth - "this works" and it will work.

Every person is different and depending on how deeply you work, you may come out of the session jumping with excitement or you may feel a sense of pensiveness or wonder. You may also discover more about yourself after the session. Whether you feel energized or thoughtful, you will always leave our practice with a sense of understanding, freedom, and empowerment.

No. You are awake and alert and aware of everything that is happening during the session.

As you are not asleep, you will not wake up. If you feel the need to open your eyes during the session, you can do so. I will then guide you back into relaxation. And if you really do fall asleep, that is perfectly okay. After all, you are very relaxed. I will then gently bring you back into the session.

No. That is a misconception. You are in full control the whole time. You can talk, move your body, or get a tissue. When the session is on Skype and our connection is interrupted, if you are really relaxed you can drift off to sleep, but eventually you will notice that you no longer hear my voice and open your eyes.

Hypnosis gives direct access to the 'reasons' that determine why we do what we do and how we react, which is why RTT^® can save you hours, even years of talk therapy, searching for the root cause. The source of our problems is usually based on an age-appropriate understanding in childhood. If you are able to observe yourself and these understandings with your adult understanding and compassion, it is relatively easy to let them go. New beliefs can then be anchored and help you to move forward.

Sometimes it takes more than one session per issue, namely when the issues are not so clearly delineated and interwoven. In principle, we speak of short-term therapy in this context (maximum 5 sessions).

Hypnosis has a long-term, lasting effect, provided you listen to your personalized audio for at least 21 days.
