Pre-consultation (optional)
Approximately 20 minutes.
This step is optional. If you have questions, are not sure if hypnosis could help you, etc., you can schedule a free consultation where I can answer your questions, explain to you how the sessions go, and schedule an appointment together at the end, if you wish to. Please note that the free consultation does not commit you in any way to book further sessions.
First session
Approximately 90 minutes.
After getting to know each other and answering some of your potential concerns, we will discuss about your goals regarding the hypnosis sessions. This will allow us to bring to light what we will be working on. Note that you do not need to get into specific details about some things you would not be comfortable to share. The purpose here is simply to establish a plan of action and to know where we are. We can talk about what motivated you to start these sessions, as well as your expectations regarding our interactions. This is a crucial part of the overall work process, as this allows me to know how to approach the situation. After this first discussion, we will either be starting the first hypnosis related to your goal, or, if you are not comfortable with it yet, will have a first lighter experience with a relaxing hypnosis. This way, you would feel more comfortable the next time, in the event that you wish to continue to work with me. After the first hypnosis, we will discuss about how you felt and you will let me know if you have any more questions. The first discussion about your expectations and goals might take longer than expected, in which case the first hypnosis will have to be shorter, or consist of the aforementioned shorter relaxing hypnosis, to avoid being rushed by time.
Further sessions
Approximately 60~90 minutes.
The sessions are approximately spaced by at least 1 week, or more if you feel like you need some more time, but less than a month, for them to be more effective. At the beginning of each session, we will shortly summarize the previous one and discuss about how you felt since then. After that, we will begin the hypnosis. You can contact me in between sessions if you feel the need to share something or want to ask questions that cannot wait.
