Not at all. That’s one of the biggest misconceptions about hypnosis. You stay fully aware and in control the whole time.

During a session, your eyes remain open, and we work through focused attention and awareness. You’ll notice what’s happening and might find your thoughts, feelings, or memories interacting in unexpected ways — that’s completely normal.

Rather than losing control, people often describe feeling a bit spaced, dreamy momentarily confused as their system naturally reorganises itself. That confusion is just a sign that the mind is processing and integrating new information in its own way, while you stay safe and aware throughout.
