The #3 Most Asked Question About Hypnosis
Will I get stuck in hypnosis?
I don’t even know how this question started. This is an urban myth that it’s possible to become stuck in hypnosis. Maybe it started because our mothers used to tell us, “If you keep making that face, you’ll freeze like that!”
It Can’t Happen
You cannot get stuck in hypnosis. If you are in my chair, in hypnosis, and an emergency arises, you will come alert and stand up and face that emergency. In hypnosis, you hear every word I say and you still have that guardian part in your mind that protects you. Like if I suggested you go rob a bank and bring me the money, you would not only not accept that but your physical body would show me that you object. Your head might shake no, or you would give a big jerk. That is an abreaction meaning what you’re hearing is not acceptable to you.

Deep Sleep
You’re going to hear me say, “Deep Sleep”, to put you into a hypnotic trance. But that doesn’t really mean actual sleep. You’ll still be aware of my voice and what I’m saying. If you happen to go too deep for the work we’re doing, I’ll bring you up a little bit. I can do that by saying your name or asking you to speak out loud to me. I want you following along so we can be more effective.
So, can you get stuck? No. You would either slowly come out naturally or simply slip into a sleep state and awaken later. And whenever you come out, you’ll feel like you’ve had a great nap; refreshed and relaxed.
