đ§ What to Expect in Your First Hypnosis Session (Itâs Not What You Think!)

So, youâre curious about hypnosis. Youâve booked a session. Maybe youâve even been thinking about this for a while, hovering on the edge of âShould I do this?â
And now… itâs happening.
Youâre walking into your first hypnosis session.
And if youâre anything like most people, you probably have no idea what to expect.
Let me just start by saying:
Itâs not going to be what you think.
In the best way possible.
đł First things first: Youâre not going to lose control.
Letâs just squash this fear up front, okay?
Youâre not going to black out.
Youâre not going to hand over your mind.
Youâre not going to be made to bark like a dog, cluck like a chicken, or spill your deepest secrets.
That kind of stuff? Thatâs entertainment. Stage hypnosis. Theater.
Real hypnosis is participation.
You are aware. You are in charge. You are actively working with your subconscious mind.
And yes-your eyes might be closed. But you are not asleep.
đď¸ What actually happens?
The first part of our session is a conversation. A real one.
We talk about whatâs been going on, what youâre looking for, and what story youâve been living in that might not be serving you anymore. Because hereâs the thing:
Youâre already hypnotized.
Youâre hypnotized by the inner critic.
Youâre hypnotized by past experiences.
Youâre hypnotized by habits, fears, labels, and expectations.
All I do is help you wake up from the story that isnât working for you-and step into one that does.
đĄ Itâs not about âfixingâ you.
This is a big one.
Hypnosis isnât about fixing you.
Youâre not broken.
You donât need fixing.
What you might need is a better set of instructions for your brain.
Thatâs what hypnosis gives you.
Your brain is brilliant. Itâs been running certain programs for a long time-programs that once helped you survive, but maybe now… are just keeping you stuck.
Weâre just updating the software. Thatâs it.
đ So what does it feel like?
Hereâs how most people describe it:
- âI felt deeply relaxed but totally aware.â
- âIt was like I could finally see things differently.â
- âI donât know what just happened, but I feel lighter.â
- âI thought Iâd be out of it-but I was right here the whole time.â
Itâs not âmind control.â
Itâs mind freedom.
Youâll leave feeling more present, more clear, and usually… more energized than youâve felt in a while.
đŻ And then what?
You might notice shifts immediately.
You might notice them gradually, subtly, over the next few days.
Either way-itâs working.
Because hereâs what I want you to know:
Your subconscious mind heard everything.
And it is already making the changes you asked it to make.
đ Whatâs Next?
You donât need to âbelieve inâ hypnosis for it to work.
You donât need to be âgood at it.â
You donât need to know what youâre doing.
All you need is a willingness to feel better.
And I can promise you this: your subconscious is ready.
Itâs just been waiting for a better suggestion.
Curious? Nervous? Youâre welcome to DM me anytime with questions-or if youâve been thinking about booking your first session, letâs do it. You donât have to figure it all out alone.
