You are visitor , welcome!

My name is Cynthia Lindner, MS, CtHA I am an experienced mental health counselor and hypnotherapist.  This site was created to provide accurate information about therapeutic hypnosis.  Hypnosis and other mind-body techniques may be used for many physical and emotional conditions.  As new research becomes available, I plan to add more information about hypnosis, more links, and discuss common applications of hypnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Q:  Is hypnosis safe?
A:  Yes, hypnosis is safe when the practitioner is qualified.

Q:  How can I find a qualified Hypnotherapist?
A:  Currently, there are only a handful of states in the USA that license hypnotherapists.  So it is up to the consumer to ask a prospective hypnotherapist about their training and experience and if they have any advanced certifications.  Contacting a state-wide, or national  hypnotherapy organization can be a good beginning to finding a qualified practitioner near your home.

Q:  What does hypnosis feel like?
A:  Most people report feeling awake, and being aware of their surroundings.  While, at the same time, also experiencing deep relaxation and focused concentration.

Q:  Can everyone become hypnotized?
A:  Recent studies have revealed that most of us have a natural ability to go into a hypnotic state.  Self-hypnosis is a skill that can be learned with practice.  Like any other skill is can be mastered more quickly with professional guidance, and individual instruction.
