A client asked if we could do hypnosis by phone - what if they dropped the receiver? First, yes, one can do hypnosis sessions via phone. One doesn’t actually fall asleep in sessions, so there’s no fear of dropping the phone, although headsets and speaker phones are great too. Instead, you just go into a deep, comfortable trance, much like a long drive home, engrossed in an interesting conversation. But the truth is you are always in control, are always at the wheel, and at any time can just open your eyes to break the trance. Your mind feels fully occupied with the exercises I guide you through, allowing you to come up with the exact right solution to your situation. One client came to me with a phone phobia - interestingly enough, she had recently got a job as a tele marketer. We would do phone sessions, but I have also found phone sessions effective for distance healing, relieving stress, and support while quitting smoking.

Some folks actually do an “open eyed trance” during sessions, but most find it more comfortable to close their eyes, and to be in a quiet space. The advantage of phone sessions is exactly that - being in your own space, feeling comfortable in your surroundings, and not having to travel home afterwards means you can spend some more time in that peaceful place, like taking a nap after a good massage.

I like Skype sessions because then I can see you, watch your breathing, small facial movements that indicate where you are in your process and how to guide you deeper. If you are set up for video you can record the sessions for future review or reinforcement.
