Q: Can I be hypnotised?

A: Each case is individually assessed. Hypnosis is certainly not suitable or preferable for everyone. You should not agree to use hypnosis unless you are fully aware of what it is and how it could benefit you. Extra care has to be taken if the subject has a history of mental illness, and in some cases hypnosis should be avoided.

Most people are hypnotisable to some degree. It is estimated that 30% of people will experience a light trance, 50% will experience a medium trance and 20% will experience a deep trance. Some people do not respond to hypnosis with one hypnotist but the chances are that another hypnotist, with whom they have a better rapport, will succeed
