Hypnosis is a pure state of focus, nothing more, nothing less. Think about learning to drive: no radio on, nobody talking, total concentration. Now think about any familiar journey where you arrived and thought, how on earth did I get here? That is a form of hypnosis. Most unwanted behaviours run the same way, automatically and without thinking, which is exactly why hypnotherapy can reach them when willpower cannot. And yes, everyone can be hypnotised: if you have experienced that driving trance, you can.
A session starts with the process explained fully, so you know you are safe and that this is not mind control. You describe the issue in your own words, in as much or as little detail as you like; it can even be addressed content free. Then, in a deep, relaxed hypnotic state, we go about fixing it. Sessions work identically in person in Bangor or over Zoom, and just because an issue has been around a long time does not mean it needs a long time to go.
Hypnosis is a wonderful state of focus where long-lasting change comes about quickly.
