Today’s most common question is whether online hypnosis/hypnotherapy is safe and effective. The quick answer would be – absolutely! Hypnotherapy can work in a group or individually over Zoom, Skype, or other platforms like any other talking therapy. However, let’s expand on this a little.

Online hypnotherapy is most certainly a safe and convenient alternative to face-to-face sessions. It can be just as effective as working together in the clinic, moreover, follows the same structured approach. It is beneficial if you are restricted by time, have family commitments, or have medical conditions. Thus, this therapy alternative – online – makes it accessible to all.

Hypnosis is one of the most controversial and misunderstood techniques in psychological treatment. Surrounded by myths and misconceptions, most people get their ideas about hypnosis from observing hypnosis stage performances, which are farfetched concerning ‘medical’ hypnosis.

Clinical hypnosis is a genuine form of psychological treatment that can lead to positive therapeutic results if performed correctly and judiciously. Contrary to popular belief, people under a hypnotic trance are in total control of themselves and cannot do things they usually would not do. Another fact is that some people are more susceptible to hypnosis than others. An individual must be willing to enter the state of hypnosis so the therapy can be effective; A person must want the change so the change can happen.

Hypnosis is a proven method of direct suggestion that helps people in many ways, from losing weight to focusing on achieving goals, ending their habits, building confidence, improving their self-esteem and so much more… Hypnosis has been proven effective when conducted by a hypnotherapist (I do recommend to use an accredited practitioner) or with self-hypnosis techniques that people can practice at home.

How does it work?

The online hypnosis sessions are very similar to the face-to-face therapy ones that have been used for over a century… The only difference is that you are not sitting in the same room as the hypnotherapist. Some or all of the therapy may be conducted by a pre-recorded session (for the client to watch or listen to the session at his convenience to get the help they need).

Thanks to the internet and computing device advances, you can schedule your hypnosis sessions at your convenience. You can use your computer, laptop, or mobile device. (I would like to stress here good internet connection is essential). The sessions can happen whenever you want them scheduled or if they are pre-recorded, then in your own time. This provides far greater flexibility than working with a hypnotherapist whom you would usually meet at their office. Instead, you can gain the benefits all while being in the comfort of your home or when it works best for your needs.

Is it worth trying online hypnotherapy?

The answer again is – YES!

Going online with hypnotherapy means you can achieve your goals at your convenience. You can benefit from the latest techniques used in hypnosis, choose from different programs, or search to find the one that best fits your needs. You’ll find that the time saved in going online provides considerable benefits that you will enjoy. Thanks to the internet, you can have your hypnosis sessions in the comfort of your home. At the same time, on a break at work (although the latter is not recommended and highly discouraged during driving), or anytime you can spare the moments necessary to have your hypnosis sessions occur. All it takes is a few minutes and you can be on your way.

The convenience of going online with your hypnosis treatment provides you more freedom when using your time while still reaping all the benefits that hypnosis can provide.
