Hypnosis FAQs: The Myths, the Truths, and My Honest Answers
I'm Tamelynda Lux, Board Certified Hypnosis Practitioner. After 30+ years of helping people change their lives, I've heard every question and every myth about hypnosis. Here are my honest, personal answers, so you can decide for yourself.
"After seeing very positive results with my brother I decided to give hypnosis a try for a couple of issues I had been battling. I have personally experienced steady improvements since my appointment with Tamelynda. My confidence has grown, anxiety reduced as well as many other positive results. I have complete trust in Tamelynda, she has made the whole experience positive. I highly recommend her services, life changing without a doubt. Such a kind, caring and genuine lady." ~ Elizabeth M.

First, Let Me Bust the Myths About Hypnosis
Most of what people "know" about hypnosis comes from movies and stage shows. Let me clear these up for you, one by one.
Myth: "I'll lose consciousness and fall asleep."
This seems to be the leading misconception, and I hear it all the time. Here's the truth: you stay alert and aware of everything. You will remember everything I say, much like you would in any given conversation. That awareness is actually the point. It allows your subconscious to do the work necessary on whatever you and I agree to work on.
Myth: "Hypnotized people do odd and crazy things."
That refers to performance or stage hypnotism, and that is not what I do. In consulting hypnosis, you will not perform any outrageous actions. I use hypnosis for serious purposes: self-improvement, releasing old habits, and building the life you want. No clucking like a chicken, I promise.
Myth: "I'll surrender my will and lose control."
Actually, the opposite is true. Your ability to be hypnotized relies on your own readiness and cooperation. I am there to guide and develop the hypnotic state, and you always have the choice to go along with the suggestions offered, or not. You are in the driver's seat the entire time.
Myth: "I'll reveal my secrets."
Hypnosis is wrongly believed to be a "truth serum." It isn't. While in hypnosis, you will not suddenly begin talking or reveal secrets or intimate thoughts you would not share in the waking state. What you keep private stays private.
Now, the Truths About Hypnosis
In a clinical hypnosis session with me, you are in control. Let me tell you what actually happens.
When you are hypnotized, you experience an altered state of consciousness. You are awake, but you are not paying attention to the conscious world in the same way you normally would. Instead, your thoughts focus inwards and you go into a mild trance.
And here's something that surprises people: trance is a natural state! You have almost certainly experienced it already. Recall a time when you were doing something routine and your mind wandered, like daydreaming out a window. Or a time when you were so engaged in something that time just seemed to fly, like reading a good book or watching a movie. That's trance.
In our sessions, I bring you to a deeper cognitive level and help you access your inner resources. From there, you can change old behaviors and habits into new constructive ones.
YOU CHOOSE. In a hypnosis session with me, when you are open to the process, you can:
Discover the power that hypnosis brings to the subconscious mind, helping you find a profound and enlightened state of being
Explore information about your past life or lives, if we are doing a past life regression focused session
Calm your energies, develop your inner peace, and exercise mindfulness to relieve stress
Your Questions About Online Hypnosis, Answered
I work with clients for coaching and hypnosis either in my office in London, Ontario, or worldwide on Zoom. These are the questions I get asked most.
Does online hypnosis really work?
Yes, and I say that from years of experience, not theory. I have been conducting online hypnosis sessions for a long time now. It's a common practice for me, and I have helped many people across Canada and around the globe resolve a myriad of issues this way. Hypnosis works because of your focus and your willingness, not because of the room you sit in. Your subconscious travels with you.
What do I need for an online hypnosis session?
Very little. A webcam, a microphone, a reliable internet connection, and a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be interrupted. Many of my clients tell me they actually relax more deeply at home, in their own favorite chair, than they would anywhere else.
Is online hypnosis private and safe?
Yes. We meet face to face on a secure video call, just the two of us. We can address your needs privately and safely online, and everything we discuss stays between us.
I'm not in London, Ontario. Can I still work with you?
Absolutely! Online hypnosis means I can work with you anywhere in Canada, from Toronto to Vancouver to Halifax, and anywhere in the world. And if you are in London or close by, you are always welcome to come see me in person at my office instead. Your choice.
How quickly can I get started?
Faster than you might think. Consultations are usually available the same day or within 12 to 24 hours, and an initial 1:1 hypnosis session can usually be scheduled within a few days.
