FAQs
Does it really work?
RTT is hugely effective and is growing in popularity because of its life-changing effects. RTT is ground-breaking. It’s a hybrid technology, taking and improving upon many previous techniques, and combining them in a single methodology. It is a simple, safe, natural and proven approach.
​
Will I be awake, aware or asleep?
There are many misperceptions of hypnosis but I can assure you that you’ll be completely safe. You’ll be awake and fully aware of what’s happening and alert throughout the session.
​
Will I be out of control, can you ask me to do anything I don’t want to?
We have all seen the TV and stage shows but no, in hypnosis you’ll not be clucking or mooing! You are fully awake and aware and you can’t be made to do anything or even taken into hypnosis against your will. You remain in control at all times.
​
How will I feel during and after the session?
Clients generally say they feel comfortable and relaxed during the sessions. It’s very like daydreaming. There is nothing to be frightened of as it’s a completely natural state of deep relaxation. Sometimes, scenes may be emotional, but you are not reliving anything, merely reviewing them with the support of the therapist.
Clients react in different ways following the session, depending on what comes up and what was being worked on. Change can be retroactive, subtle and is not always ‘instant’. However, some clients leave feeling euphoric and some leave feeling a sense of reflection or wonder. Either way, the effect takes time to ‘soak in’ as you continue to discover more about yourself and as you listen to your post-session recording.
Irrespective of how you feel, there will be post-session follow up and you will be able to make contact and talk.
What happens if I can’t be hypnotised?
Everyone can be hypnotised because it’s a natural state, so you don’t need to worry. This is about team-work and for sessions to be really successful, it helps that clients want to participate and make the change. So, as long as you wish to enter hypnosis, you will. So just relax and enjoy the experience.
​
Are the sessions confidential?
Absolutely. There is a confidentiality policy in place. All clients are assured of confidentiality about any disclosed material, in accordance with professional codes of conduct and to comply with legal obligations
How will I know whether I need more than one session?
RTT gives us access to the root cause of the belief system sitting behind the symptoms. In effect the presenting issues are often symptomatic of an underlying issue. Once we find the issue or the belief, it’s relatively easy to release them and change the belief to something more beneficial. Generally it will take one session per issue. Sometimes, for longer term issues, clients benefit from two or a maximum three sessions, such as long-term depression or anxiety.
​
What if I find something I don’t want to talk about?
If you don’t want to talk about something then you don’t have to. Occasionally clients uncover something they feel uncomfortable sharing and this is respected during the session and the intimate details of a scene
can often be worked around, without having to disclose everything.
​
Does RTT involve regression?
RTT includes regressions back to scenes, as it is helps to locate the root cause or belief, that’s behind an issue. Regression is not about re-living the experience, it’s about reviewing and observing a scene, so we can make sense of the significance, relevance and meaning attached to it. Some scenes may bring up sadness, upset or joy, but whatever happens, as the adult, you will feel completely safe as you observe them.
​
Where are you based?
I have a therapy room in Main Street, Polmont, near Falkirk. It’s easy to find, has ample free, unlimited parking and is close to both bus and train stops.
​
How many sessions will I need?
Most traditional hypnotherapy can take between 6-12 sessions to reach a desired outcome. Many talking therapies will take considerably longer, with clients reporting periods anywhere between 12 weeks and several years.
With RTT, most clients see results after their first session, although some deep-seated issues, such as long-term depression, may take up to 2 or maximum 3 sessions.
