“Trance” is a naturally occurring state that you go in and out of every day. Have you ever been driving on the highway just kind of “zoning out,” and the next thing you know, you realize you got off the exit or took a left turn without even thinking about it? Most of you have experienced this. That’s a state of naturally-occurring trance. You naturally went into it, and you naturally came right back out. So, “hypnosis” is the experience of the hypnotist guiding you as you put yourself into a trance but this time, on purpose. And in that trance is where we do the change-work. It works because this state of self-induced trance takes your critical, over-analytical brain offline for a moment, allowing us direct access to the unconscious mind. From this place, we can make massive positive changes in behavior.

I use a hypnosis-centered approach in change-work because hypnosis is a multiplier of the human experience. Many of the techniques we use once you are in trance, we could actually use outside of trance and still get results. But when we use them in trance, the results are multiplied. The change happens quicker and at a more profound level if we utilize hypnosis in the process.

The short answer is you can’t. You already go into and out of trance daily with no problem. "Daydreaming" is a common, and often daily, naturally occurring state of trance. When was the last time you got stuck in a daydream and could not come out? That's right, never. Just like no matter how deeply you are sleeping, you will eventually wake up. I guide you through the hypnosis process safely and comfortably, and you are always in control. If you really want to come out of it, you can easily do it at any point without my help. So, don't worry about getting stuck in a trance - it's impossible!

The short answer is no. You always know what is happening, and you are always in control. It’s best to forget about everything you’ve ever seen about hypnosis in movies and tv because none of that is real. I’m a screenwriter myself. Trust me, if hypnosis was portrayed accurately in a movie, it would be incredibly boring! Hypnosis is completely safe and easy, and you are in control, always.

This is a great question! But unfortunately, there’s no easy answer. Let me start out by saying that the goal is always to resolve the issue in one session, and this happens very often. The reason we can’t have certainty or guarantee results in one session is that every human is completely unique. Your distinct life experiences and where you are in your personal journey make it impossible for me to know how much work needs to be done until we get into the first session and start doing the work. Knowing this, I do offer a "returning client" discount for life, and purchasing multi-packs of sessions in advance saves you even more money. There's always something else you can improve in your life!

This is very common. The vast majority of people come to me with many things in their life they want to change. The goal of the first session is to prioritize the most urgent one. Usually, there’s one big challenge that has the most control over your life and is driving the others. Very often, if you make a big shift on that controlling issue, the smaller issues underneath also start to make changes. And when you completely clear the largest challenge, it soon becomes obvious which one you need to work on next. Once you experience how easy it is to make these changes in your life, you’re going to get very excited. The most common thing I hear from clients afterward is, “I wish I had done this years ago!”

If this is the case, please reach out! Send me an email to ruckus@hypnosisforcreatives.com or fill out the contact form. Let me know what time zone you are in and when works best for you. I can often adjust my schedule to accommodate if I have enough notice, so please don't hesitate to ask!

The short answer is no. I can't because every human is so unique. There is so much subtle nuance to every person's issues that predicting outcomes is impossible. With that in mind, please understand that I am charging for my time and expertise, not any specific result. I can't give refunds if you don't get a certain result because I can never get my time back. However, I absolutely want you to make the changes you desire! I love helping people; It's my passion! And I do everything in my power to help you get the results you are looking for.
