What does hypnosis feel like?

The answer is that hypnosis probably feels different for everybody. After all we are all individuals. Many hypnotherapists, including myself, use elements of relaxation within hypnotherapy sessions so people commonly associate a feeling of relaxation with hypnosis. People have all sorts of bodily responses to relaxation instructions. Some feel as though their body is very heavy, whereas some can feel very light, almost as if they were floating. 

Mentally people have all sorts of different responses. Most typically people report feeling very focussed or absorbed, often effortlessly so. Visualisation techniques are also often used where people can have very vivid imaginative experiences with many reporting feeling as if they were actually there. 

On the whole you’ll find hypnosis a wonderful, deeply pleasant and relaxing experience.
