At North Shore Hypnosis, positive changes in your life can be evident rapidly. On your first appointment, we’ll have a discussion (ntake interview) where general lifestyle information is gathered such as when the issue is a problem. when it is worse or better, how it affects you, and how would you like it to be. We’ll also explore your motivation for change. It’s important that you understand that for lasting change your decision to utilize hypnosis must be self-directed. If you are seeing a consulting hypnotist for the first time, you may not know what to expect. I will explain how hypnosis is an interactive, cooperative experience and that we build the hypnotic experience together. (To a degree, all hypnosis is really self-hypnosis). In your first session, I’ll determine what type of induction will be best for you and what approach will be appropriate for you. We’ll establish rapport, build your sense of positive expectation and correct any misconceptions you have. Each subsequent session begins with a short interview to determine your progress and current goals.
