What Is Important To Know?

✦ If you don’t like the idea of feeling your feelings, so you can let them go and move on….. this isn't for you.

✦ If you want me to do all of the work for you….. then I need to tell you right now my process won't work for you.

✦If you find yourself stuck in a vicious loop of victim-hood….. we may not be a good fit.

✦ If expressing your feelings good or bad embarrasses you and you can’t fully be honest in or out of hypnosis about what’s really getting to you….. we may not be a good fit

✦Why? Because it is all a part of the process.

What if I have a diagnosis of a mental illness?

Many individuals with mental health diagnoses can experience significant benefits and success through hypnosis. Despite the misconception that hypnosis may not be suitable for those with mental illnesses, it can actually complement traditional therapy approaches. In practice, many people incorporate hypnosis into their wellness routines alongside counseling and therapy to achieve their overall well-being goals effectively. By leveraging the power of hypnosis in conjunction with professional guidance, individuals with mental health diagnoses can tap into a valuable resource for personal growth and healing.

Hypnosis has been used for centuries to help people cope with various physical and mental conditions. It is a natural state of deep relaxation that allows individuals to access their subconscious minds and explore their thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. This can be particularly beneficial for those with mental health diagnoses who may have underlying traumas or negative thought patterns that contribute to their struggles.

During a hypnosis session, the individual is in complete control and is guided by a certified hypnotherapist. The therapist helps the person achieve a heightened state of awareness where they can focus on specific goals or issues they want to address. Through gentle suggestions and visualization techniques, the individual can neutralize negative emotions, thoughts and beliefs into more positive ones.

Hypnosis is also a safe and natural way to address personal issues without relying on medication or invasive procedures. It can be used as a complementary therapy alongside other treatments or as a standalone approach.

Potentially, you can safely work with a hypnotist if you any have the following diagnoses (some may require you to gain the consent of your treating physician or therapist*):

✦ Depressive Disorders

✦ Anxiety Disorders

✦ Panic Disorders

✦ (C)PTSD

✦ Eating Disorders*

Are There Any Mental Health Diagnoses That Prevent Working With a Hypnotist?

Schizophrenia Spectrum and Other Psychotic Disorders, such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and delusional disorder, are mental health diagnoses that are not typically suitable for hypnosis services provided by Lynne Hypnosis Services or for hypnosis work in general.

These conditions involve significant disturbances in perception, thoughts, and emotions, making it challenging for individuals to engage in the focused state of relaxation and suggestibility required for hypnosis. Additionally, individuals with these diagnoses often require specialized medical and therapeutic interventions tailored to their specific needs, which may not align with the services offered through hypnosis. It is essential for individuals with such diagnoses to receive appropriate care from mental health professionals who specialize in managing psychotic disorders.

Our Perspective: Boundaries of Mental Health Services & Hypnotic Services

At Lynne Hypnosis, our commitment to ethical guidelines is unwavering as we refrain from diagnosing or treating any mental illness. Our primary goal is to offer additional support to improve overall well-being, ensuring that we do not encroach on areas that demand specialized mental health interventions. We strive to provide complementary benefits to individuals already receiving professional mental health treatment, recognizing that our services serve as a supplement rather than a substitute for the comprehensive care delivered by their specialized healthcare providers.

It's essential to understand that hypnosis should not be seen as a substitute for conventional therapy or medication; instead, it can serve as a valuable complement to these established treatments. Prior to integrating hypnosis into your treatment regimen, it's advisable to seek guidance from a mental health professional. To ensure your well-being, as well as ours, it's crucial to maintain ongoing collaboration with your specialized healthcare provider if you are presently under their care for any diagnosed mental or emotional condition, while also exploring hypnosis as an additional support.

At Lynne Hypnosis & Wellness, our approach does not involve diagnosing individuals or providing therapy services. We emphasize that hypnosis sessions are not a form of counseling or therapy and are not suitable for individuals already diagnosed with specific mental health conditions.

Common Questions About Hypnosis

How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis works by achieving a level of focused awareness, and at the same time bypassing the analytical aspect of the mind. Another way to describe the analytical aspect of the mind is that it is a comparing mechanism. When new information is introduced to the mind, the comparing mechanism compares the new information to what it already believes is either true or false. This is a protective aspect of our mind.

This is why changing habits by willpower alone is so difficult – we often already believe we can not change, so thinking about making the change happen ( using willpower alone) is ineffective. Hypnosis is powerful because with focused awareness the analytical aspect of the mind is bypassed, and new, healthy and beneficial suggestions can be made directly into the subconscious, without the comparing mechanism rejecting these new beliefs. So the change we want to achieve in our life is accepted by the subconscious mind as true, and we see results quickly.

Is hypnosis safe?

Hypnosis is safe – it’s a perfectly normal and common state of mind we go into naturally everyday. You enter hypnosis regularly when daydreaming, watching a good movie, or reading a book. During these activities you remain consciously aware and in complete control, just as you do when a professional hypnotherapist assists you in entering into a state of hypnosis.

What is hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the applied use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is used to help people discover the subconscious reasons for their symptoms, behaviors, or habits. When they are discovered, certain tools and techniques are used to help release them and relearn a new positive way of thinking, subconsciously. This is called hypnotherapy.

Can I be hypnotized?

Yes of course! You’ve already been hypnotized anytime you watched an enjoyable movie, or read a good book. Hypnosis is a normal and natural state of mind that everyone has already experienced. Actually, it’s such a normal state of mind that most people don’t realize they are hypnotized. All you need to do to go into a state of hypnosis when coming into the Advanced Hypnosis office is be willing and able to follow gentle instructions for reaching a state of focused awareness.

Are there any risks associated with hypnosis or hypnotherapy?

The American Medical Association (AMA) gave its approval in 1958, recognizing the benefits and safety of hypnosis. Similarly, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) endorsed the practice in 1961. These endorsements signify that hypnosis carries no inherent risks and can be a beneficial tool for various conditions, offering reassurance to those considering this form of treatment.

How do I find a reputable hypnotist?

In order to find a reputable hypnotherapist, to start with look for ones with lots of good recent reviews. Also, most individuals more than 1 session in order for them to have permanent resolution of their problem; be wary of anyone who says they can "fix" you in only 1 session.

Be sure they're certified. It's important to make certain that the person you choose is a member of a higher certifying organization, like the National Guild of Hypnotists.

If it sounds like I'm talking about myself here (I am), know this: The NGH offers some of the highest certification requirements around because we care deeply about what our clients experience during sessions, and after in regards to the changes they want.

Let’s just say if someone says "trust" but doesn't have any certifications whatsoever then straight away your antenna should go up. I believe it is important that clients know exactly where someone stands when assisting them in making subconscious changes.

Find a Board Certified Hypnotist. Only 3% of hypnotists go on to become Board Certified. I am Board Certified. This means I have taken additional, advanced, training, and meet a higher skill and knowledge minimum than the certified hypnotist.

Hypnosis Myths Infographic by Lynne Hypnosis

6 Common Hypnosis Myths!

Myth #1: The Hypnotist will be able to control my mind.

Fact: No one can control your mind, unless you let them.

Your Hypnotherapist will give you suggestions that you want to be given, based on the Pre-Hypnotic Interview. At no point during your session will you lose control of your mind. If you hear a suggestion that you don’t agree with, or don’t understand, your subconscious mind will automatically reject it.

Myth #2: I will be made to perform embarrassing acts, such as bark like a dog, or walk like a duck.

Fact: This assumption is based on Stage Hypnotism and Hollywood fiction.

The truth is, these people volunteer to act on stage, and they allow themselves to participate in silly suggestions. Hypnotherapy is a serious process of self-improvement, not entertainment.

Myth #3: Hypnosis comes from “Black Magic,” “Supernatural,” or Spiritually Dangerous for Christians.

Fact: Hypnosis is a natural state that has been studied scientifically. Hypnotherapists are not Psychics or Palm Readers with “special powers”.

The truth is, these people volunteer to act on stage, and they allow themselves to participate in silly suggestions. Hypnotherapy is a serious process of self-improvement, not entertainment.


Myth #4: If I become Hypnotized, I may not be able to snap out of it, or Hypnosis is Dangerous.

Fact: Hypnosis is very safe and is safe.

Any time there is an emergency, a person would naturally be able to come out of the Hypnotic state by opening their eyes, and stretching or speaking.

Myth #5: I have never been in Hypnotized before.

Fact: Every person naturally enters a state of hypnosis at least twice a day.

Just before falling asleep at night, and upon waking every morning before getting out of bed. Most people easily enter into a light hypnotic state while watching movies or TV, while driving, or reading a good book.


Myth #6: Hypnosis is a “Miracle Cure.”

Fact: While Hypnosis is a relatively quick method of making permanent improvements, there is no such thing as a one-time “Hypno-Miracle!"

Every individual makes progress at his or her own rate. Be weary of those who make wild claims of overnight success.
