What does it feel like to be hypnotised?

This differs for each individual. For some people there is very little difference between the hypnotic state and their normal waking state. For others, the sensation is that of been extremely calm and relaxed, just as you feel prior to falling asleep. Most people notice that their senses are more alert and aware, quite the opposite of what they had expected.

Hypnotherapy is not about a loss of control. It is dependent upon the client allowing their subconscious mind to work for them. If the Hypnotherapist's suggestions are acceptable and beneficial to the client then the subconscious mind will allow the suggestion to be acted upon effectively.
