EFFECTIVENESS OF
ONLINE HYPNOTHERAPY
Effectiveness,
Compared to In-Person Therapy
A common question: “Is online hypnotherapy just as effective?”
The answer is YES!
Research confirms online sessions deliver results comparable to those of in-person visits. Clients report similar satisfaction and progress with both options. This makes online hypnotherapy a practical, viable and accessible alternative for those seeking support and guidance. In fact, your home environment might even offer an advantage. Imagine unwinding on your sofa, surrounded by the familiar comfort you've curated for yourself. This relaxed space can be incredibly beneficial for hypnotherapy, potentially leading to a deeper state of hypnosis compared to a new office setting. Many clients find online sessions even more preferable for this very reason – the comfort of their own space and the elimination of travel time.
The advantage of online sessions?
All you need is a strong Wi-Fi connection, a quiet, comfortable space ensuring you will be free from any distractions, and the freedom to customize your surroundings to maximize your relaxation.
This is your journey-
FEELING SAFE AND COMFORTABLE IS THE FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH.
Online Hypnosis Safe? Rest assured!
Concerns about control and results are common, but research shows online sessions deliver results just as impressive as traditional methods. Throughout our journey together, you'll always be in control. As your qualified online hypnotherapist, I'll ensure your sessions are safe and secure. Even if your internet connection drops, there's no need to worry – you can't ever get "stuck" in hypnosis.
Ready to heal, but worried about distance?
My online sessions allow you to access powerful hypnotherapy from the comfort and convenience of your own space, no matter where you are in the world. Whether you're a local resident or located anywhere in Canada, the USA, or beyond, I can provide you with professional service through Zoom video conferencing. This means you can begin your journey towards a healthier, happier you, all from the comfort of your own home.
How does hypnosis work over Zoom?
Online hypnotherapy works the same way it does in person. Hypnosis does not depend on being in the same physical room, it depends on connection, safety, and proper setup. In many ways, working from home makes it easier because you are already in a familiar environment where your body can settle more naturally. To make your session seamless, I use a simple framework called the Three H’s:
-
Hard Deck means your laptop is on a stable, hands-free surface so the screen stays steady.
-
Hard Chair means you are seated upright and supported, which keeps you engaged and present.
-
Hardwired means Zoom is set up, your audio is clear, and everything is ready before we begin.
-
For online hypnosis to be effective, I need a clear view of your upper body posture and the natural movements of your arms, hands, face, and eyes. This allows me to guide the induction comfortably and safely while observing the subtle cues that are part of the process.
With the Three H’s in place, online hypnotherapy becomes just as effective and interactive as an in-person session, especially for chronic pain, anxiety, stress, and sleep-related concerns. Your home becomes the perfect environment to begin.
That’s why it’s completely possible to do hypnotherapy over Zoom.
Setting the Stage for Success
Preparing for Your First Online Hypnotherapy Session
Taking Time for Yourself
Before diving into the specifics of preparing your space, it's important to prioritize your own well-being. Allow yourself ample time before and after your online hypnotherapy session. This isn't about elaborate preparations, but simply creating space to relax and mentally prepare without feeling rushed. Here's what that looks like:
Schedule Buffer Time:
Give yourself a buffer of at least 15 minutes before your appointment. This allows you to unwind, settle into your chosen space, and avoid the stress of last-minute scrambling.
Post-Session Decompression:
Similarly, try to carve out 5-10 minutes after the session to process your experience. This decompression time allows you to integrate the suggestions and maximize the benefits of the session.
Getting ready for your first online hypnotherapy session is a big step towards managing your pain.
HERE'S A CHECKLIST FOR CREATING A CALM ENVIRONMENT TO ENSURE A SMOOTH AND RELAXING EXPERIENCE:
● Silence is Golden
Find a quiet, completely distraction-free space: Choose a room in your home where you won't be interrupted by noises like pets, conversations, or outside sounds.
● Tech Check
Secure internet connection: A stable internet connection is crucial for a seamless session.
● Email link at the ready
Have the email containing the session link easily accessible on your device.
● Tablet or Laptop for Enhanced Stability
A tablet or laptop offers a larger screen and a sturdier base. This can be particularly helpful during our initial conversation, as it allows you to prop the device up comfortably for a hands-free discussion. This way, you can focus on our conversation without worrying about holding the device steady.
● Comfort is Key
Comfortable position for discussion and relaxation: Choose a room where you can comfortably have a conversation at the beginning of the session, and then easily transition to lying down or a relaxed seated position for the hypnosis portion.
● Dress for relaxation
Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing that won't restrict your movement.
● Ringer off
Turn your phone ringer and any other notifications on your devices to silent mode to avoid disruptions.
● Headphones or Earbuds Recommended for Enhanced Focus:
Headphones or earbuds will not only help you focus on my voice and block out any remaining background noise, but they can also enhance the quality of the audio. This allows you to hear my voice more clearly and precisely, which can contribute to a more effective hypnosis session.
● Bonus Tip
Have a glass of water nearby: Staying hydrated can enhance your relaxation.
Remember: This is your personal journey towards pain management. Feel free to customize your space with anything else that promotes relaxation for you
