Preparation Audio

Start Here Before Your Live Session

This guided audio is part of your preparation. It is designed to help you settle your mind, relax your body, and become more mentally ready for the work ahead.

Best used in a quiet place where you can sit back, listen without interruption, and begin shifting into a more focused, receptive state before your appointment.

After You Join

Waiting Room

  • You may be placed in a virtual waiting room until your therapist admits you.
  • Keep your camera and microphone ready to turn on when prompted.
  • If the app asks to update, do it before your appointment time.
Optional

Test Your Connection

  • Check that your camera and microphone are working before your appointment.
  • Confirm your browser or app is up to date.
  • If possible, use stable Wi-Fi.
Body Setup

What to Do With Your Body

  • Wear comfortable clothing; remove shoes if you like.
  • Use the bathroom beforehand – even if it seems unnecessary.
  • Sit or recline with your head supported (bed, couch, recliner, or mat).
  • Keep your device on a stable surface beside you (not on your body).
Environment

Adjust Your Environment

  • Choose a quiet, private space where you won’t be interrupted.
  • Keep enough light on so your therapist can see you clearly.
  • Have a light blanket nearby – people can feel cooler as they relax.
  • Close other tabs/apps to reduce audio glitches and distractions.

Confidentiality tip: If others are nearby, use headphones and position your screen so it’s not visible to others. If you’re using public Wi-Fi, consider switching to a private network for best privacy and stability.

What to Expect From Your Online Session

Online sessions work very well when the environment is private and you can focus. Below is exactly how the session will flow and what’s normal to experience.

Session Essentials

Confidentiality

  • Your therapist will connect from a secure, private location.
  • Please choose a private space where you can speak openly without being overheard or interrupted.
  • Headphones are recommended for privacy and clearer audio.

How the Session Usually Flows

  • Check-in (orientation): we review goals, progress, and any questions.
  • Guided hypnosis: focused attention + deep relaxation, with your awareness present.
  • Therapeutic work: we use structured suggestions and imagery aligned with your goals.
  • Return to full alertness: you come back feeling clear, calm, and able to discuss what occurred.

What Hypnosis Feels Like

Hypnosis is not sleep and it is not mind control. Most people experience it as calm focus – similar to being absorbed in a book, a film, or a daydream—while still able to speak and choose.

What’s Normal

  • Time may feel different (faster or slower) while you’re deeply focused.
  • Your body may feel heavy, light, warm, cool, or pleasantly relaxed.
  • Some sessions feel vivid; others feel subtle – both can be effective.

Important: Hypnotherapy is a complementary, educational process that supports behavior change and wellbeing. It does not replace medical or mental health diagnosis or treatment. If you have urgent symptoms, are in crisis, or feel unsafe, seek immediate help through local emergency services or a licensed medical professional.
