As a part of our hypnotherapy session protocol, prior to your hypnosis session you will be emailed our Confidential Questionnaires to answer. We request that you complete our questionnaires in advance so that you and your hypnotist can be better prepared for your first session of hypnotherapy. Gathering information with our Intake Form, Making Changes and our Primary Sensory Mode Test not only helps your hypnotist prepare for a productive session, but its valuable for you as a primer to making positive changes. As you complete our intake forms, you will gain a better understanding of the challenge that you have been dealing with and can begin the process of change prior to your hypnosis session.

To ensure optimal results, we take a holistic approach to helping our clients and encourage you to be prepared to make serious improvement in your lifestyle. Therefore, we will want to know, if you going through well hydrated, well rested, exercising regularly, and not deficient in vital nutrients, or overindulging in relaxants and stimulants that may act as an impediment to accomplishing your goals.

Your first hypnosis session will typically last for 1 hour and 45 minutes.  A recommended reinforcement session typically lasts for 1 hour. Any additional booster sessions that you may desire will last for only 45 minutes.

Upon arriving to our Rockland hypnosis center in New City, NY you will find a comfortable and professional therapy and waiting room. You will begin your hypnotherapy session promptly.

Prior to experiencing the profoundly relaxed state of hypnosis, your clinical hypnotist will go over your Confidential Questionnaires responses with you and gather additional relevant information. This thorough and thoughtful talk with you will help your hypnotist discover any impediments that may be hindering you from achieving your goals in the past. During this conversation your hypnotherapist will learn all about you and your motivation for wanting to change your behavior.  He will also explain how hypnosis actually works and answer any questions that you may have about the entire process. At the end of this conversation your personal hypnotist will use his extensive experience and flexibility to tailor the hypnosis to your personality, lifestyle and needs. Unlike some authoritarian and rigid individuals you may have interacted within the medical world, you will find our clinical hypnotists to be very warm, compassionate people whom you will feel completely confident and comfortable with.

After your conversation with your Rockland County, NY hypnotist you will be guided gently into a relaxing comfortable trance, where you are more receptive and suggestible. In this state of suggestibility, you can allow yourself at  anytime to open your eyes and resume regular consciousness,  but you will find that you enjoy staying in this peaceful state. You will consciously hear what your hypnotherapist is saying and can accept or reject any of the positive suggestions you will hear. With the empathetic guidance of your Rockland County, NY hypnotherapist you will easily and quickly make the changes you desire.

After your hypnotherapy session, for additional guidance and support, your Rockland hypnotherapist will email to you many positive affirmations, supportive self hypnosis audios and some of Jeffrey Rose’s own published health articles. Additionally, as an integral adjuvant to your session of hypnosis, Jeffrey Rose and our practice manager, Alexandra Castillo will be available by phone, if you have anything else you wish to discuss.

Frequently Asked Questions on Hypnosis

1. What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a process of entering into the state of mind called a trance. The trance is a very natural state of mind that we experience regularly. When we are engrossed in reading a book and are unaware of everything else around us and any things that are presently going on in our life, we are in a trance. This can also happen at a while watching a move or live performance. While at work when we find ourself losing track of all that is going on around us and start to daydream, we are in a trance.

Your Rockland County hypnotherapist has the skill to gently guide you into this state of mind and while you are in this state state, your subconscious is open to incorporating new beliefs and attitudes. Then your conscious mind can be influenced to act upon these new thoughts within your subconscious mind.

2. What is holistic hypnosis?

Most hypnotists will guide you to resolve your particular challenges. But a holistic hypnotist will additionally encourage you to make important and healthy complimentary changes. One example of our holistic approach is in our smoking cessation program, where besides quitting smoking you’ll be inspired and educated to eat healthier, sleep better sleep and exercise more, so that you can live a healthier life.
