As they say, your perceptions become your reality, and that is why it is really good not to have perceptions of hypnosis but in a particular hypnotic trance.
When someone perceives trance, it does two things: it takes away from your concentration, and if the trance is not like you imagined, you think that you have not gone into a trance. When this happens, you then begin to question what has happened.
I had a customer at Quit Smoking in Capalaba the other day who did not think she had gone into a trance. When I asked her about this, she told me that she did not feel as if she had gone into a trance as it was not the way that she imagined that it was going to be. Even though I had explained that neither she nor I had any idea of how it would be when she went into trance. She had gone into a trance by displaying several signs of being in a trance.
When you come for a hypnosis procedure, the best piece of advice that I can give you is to be open to the process and take it as it comes. Don’t try to control it; allow it to happen and enjoy the process.
