My own first hypnotherapy session was like a magical journey, motion 3D movie with the sound and the breeze on my face. It was colorful and amazing, and very insightful for the purpose I went.
But before the session I was scared. I didn’t want to lose control. As I learnt later, there was no need to worry.
Hypnosis is a relaxed meditative state, such as the moment before you fall asleep and the moment after you wake up. Do you have a full control over your body and mind in those moments? Yes you do. It is the same during hypnosis.
It is very rare that someone would go so deeply that they do not remember what they said. Although this is what I was hoping to experience for my 2nd hypnotherapy session.
I went to my 2nd session with an agenda and expectations. I wanted to go so deep that I would not remember anything and also would not be able to control my words. As I learnt after that session, it is not a good idea to go with expectations and demands to your subconscious mind. Even though I got pictures and snapshots of information, I was a little disappointed when my designed plan for the session did not come true.
Lesson learnt: Have no expectations and go with an open mind!
