Can anyone be hypnotized?
Anyone who can follow simple instructions can work with hypnosis if they want to. The better informed a client is as to the truth and fictions regarding hypnosis, the better the results. It is true that some people find it easier to access a deeper level of hypnosis than others. A light to medium level of hypnosis is more than adequate for most situations. After all, chances are that you were not in deep hypnosis when the problem started!
Yes, but only if they want to be. The only requirement is the desire to be hypnotized (or at least allow it to happen) plus an understanding of what they need to do in order to achieve the hypnotic state. The degree, however, varies from person to person. Occasionally a different induction method or a different therapist may be necessary. Most therapy sessions do not require more than a light trance state which everyone can easily achieve with training.
Yes. In fact most people experience natural, self-induced trances once or twice per day. But different people respond to different techniques, or different types of suggestions. Some people respond better to direct physical suggestions like “raise your arm.” Other people respond better to indirect or emotional suggestions like “feel your arm become light enough to float up.” I include a broad spectrum of suggestions in my recordings so they will be enjoyable for everyone.
