Can anyone be hypnotised?

Whilst there are some people who are more susceptible than others, everyone goes into natural states of trance every day. The only requirement is to work in co-operation with the therapist and have an understanding of what they need to do in order to achieve the hypnotic state. The degree of trance state varies from person to person. Most sessions do not require more than a light trance state, which everyone can easily achieve with gentle guidance from the therapist.

What qualifications do SlimQuest coaches hold?

All SlimQuest coaches are fully trained and experienced Cognitive Hypnotherapists and NLP Master Practitioners, registered with the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH), trained to a high ethical standard and all hold Professional Indemnity Insurance.

What can I expect in a SlimQuest session?

Every session will begin with a short group discussion on the weeks progress, followed by the weeks technique, including motivational exercises, craving control techniques and habit breakers.  Each session will finish with group hypnosis, helping you to make those wise food and exercise choices to achieve your weight loss.

What if I can't be hypnotised?

The only people who cannot be hypnotised are those who are drunk or those who simply don't want to be! Being hypnotised may feel different to how you expect it to feel, but that does not mean you are not in hypnosis.

Will I be weighed?

No, you will not be weighed in any session.

Is it safe? Are there any side effects?

Yes, it is completely safe. The only side effects are positive, beneficial ones! It is using the natural power of the mind to resolve unwanted habits or behaviour or relieve symptoms without the need for tablets or drugs. It is non-addictive and completely safe without any unpleasant or unwanted side effects.

Will I be in control and aware?

Yes all the time. You do not go 'out', 'under' or 'to sleep'. You are not unconscious. You can hear and understand everything that is being said. Nothing happens without your consent. You can remain in an extremely relaxed state knowing that you have absolute control.

Will I remember what happens during sessions?

99% of people remember everything they or the therapist said during the session.

You cannot be made to do anything that you do not think is acceptable. You would either reject the suggestion or come out of the hypnotic trance. Your deepest secrets will remain precisely that!

The trance state can be terminated at any time you choose just as you chose to enter it. If you were left in a trance state by the therapist or by hypnotic tape/CD you would return to full consciousness on your own, in your own time, or enter a natural sleep and awaken after a short, pleasant nap.
