A hypnosis Therapy session usually takes about an hour and consists of three parts.  In the first twenty minutes, we will discuss hypnosis.  For the second part of the session, we will identify a solution to your issues.  The third part of the session contains the mental exercises necessary for your body and mind to relax and implement the solutions that you and your hypno-therapist developed together.

What if I can’t be hypnotized?

It is your willingness and ability to take your life in a positive direction that allows you to be successfully hypnotized.  Because we will not focus on the past and assigning labels, behavior can be changed very quickly.

Will I be in control while hypnotized?

Absolutely. A hypno-therapist can’t make you do anything that is not part of your value system.

Will I be asleep while hypnotized?

You will be physically asleep, but always aware.  You will remain mentally alert.  Many describe the feeling as that of a peaceful dream.

How will I feel after the hypnotherapy session ends?

Many clients report that they feel more relaxed than they had in a long time.

Can I get a CD recording of the Hypnotherapy session?

Yes, I am happy to provide a CD recording of the last twenty minutes (the hypnosis portion) of the session if you feel it would be beneficial in reinforcing the solution.

Do you accept health insurance?

No.  Eliminating insurance companies protects your privacy.

How many issues can you cover in one Hypnosis therapy session?

We can comfortably address two issues per session. Please keep in mind that multiple issues often stem from one common problem.  For example, instead of thinking of financial problems, relationship issues, and smoking, why not focus on managing stress instead?

How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Will I Need?

One thing that makes hypnosis therapy different from other treatment approaches is that most clients require only one session. This eliminates the need for costly on-going treatment. However, for those who wish to focus on other positive changes, I am available for follow-up sessions at a reduced rate. Our approach to Hypno-Therapy is to make it conveniet for your schedule. So you are free to come and go as you please.

How is Michael Bartlett's approach to hypnosis different?

As a certified hypno-therapist, Michael Bartlett takes pride in helping his clients focus on making positive changes and achieving their goals without over-thinking the process with unpleasant discussions about the past.  We can do nothing about the past.  Let’s find a solution and focus on the here and now.

Do you take walk-in clients?

I work by appointment only.

Can I bring a friend with me?

Your friends and family members are welcome to come with you to the office, but they will be asked to step into another room for the full duration of the session. This allows you to fully focus on hypnosis and the positive changes you are making.
