Hello, I'm Paul McKenna. And as a hypnotherapist, these are the three questions that I get asked most often. Question 1 Can hypnotherapy do things against my will? Mind control? No, you're always in control. Hypnosis is a state of focused relaxation, not mind control. In fact, it actually gives you more control over your mind. Question 2 Is it possible to get stuck in hypnosis? Well, no. It's a myth. Hypnosis is a natural state, similar to daydreaming. You can always wake up whenever you want to, just like you can snap out of a daydream. Question 3 Is hypnotherapy scientifically proven? Well, yes. Thousands of studies show that it's effective in treating things like anxiety, pain management and changing unwanted habits, increasing confidence and happiness. It can help you in many, many ways.
