Hypnosis online FAQ and hypnosis downloads
I can totally understand if you're 'not sure' about hypnosis. You may be worried about what it might do to you, or consider it flaky new age stuff. However, I want you to feel reassured, comfortable and confident enough to at least try hypnosis online.
Hypnosis is one of the most effective, accessible and affordable ways to help you overcome emotional and mental difficulties. I really want you to consider it, because your feeling better will release new energy for you to invest in your relationships - with your partner/spouse, your children - and you'll also feel more energised at work and at 'play'.
HypnosisDownloads.com is run by Mark Tyrrel and Roger Elliot as part of their business 'Uncommon Knowledge', which is a specialist psychology training company. HypnosisDownloads.com offers high quality, safe and effective hypnosis online (MP3 downloads as well as CD's and videos). (Review of HypnosisDownloads.com - coming soon).
I asked Mark Tyrrel, who is therefore more qualified than anyone I know, to answer those really understandable questions about (online) hypnosis.

When can I expect to see results from hypnosis online?
Some people will see results immediately. Others have to listen repeatedly before they notice the changes they need.
If I get a result, how long will that last?
The brain can learn very deeply and very fast. I have worked with hundreds of clients who had experienced a few seconds of trauma. However, they still had flashbacks decades later.This illustrates both how quickly the brain can learn at an unconscious level and how long standing that learning can be. Of course that is a rather negative example. On the bright side, people may listen to a download session/hypnosis online and have it’s benefits stay with them a life time.
It’s a myth that long drawn out therapy is necessarily more
effective. The mind, when it’s encouraged to work in the
best way with a situation tends to stick to what is most adaptive.
Can you reassure me that nothing can go wrong?
It’s natural to fear what seems to be 'the unknown'. However, hypnosis is a natural state of mind and body. We all experience deep trance like experiences when we dream at night for example. Therefore, it actually feels natural when we go into trance.
We use hypnosis through the 'medium' of deep relaxation. A 'side effect' of using our sessions is a feeling of greater general well being and calm.
Will I be able to wake myself up?
All our sessions (other than the sessions in the better sleep series) invite people to come back to full alertness at the end of the download.
Hypnosis is a natural state of consciousness. Therefore, if anything needs to be attended to, you will awaken naturally, whether or not from a therapist induced trance, self hypnosis or hypnosis online..
There is always a part of the mind “over seeing” the environment. Cave dwellers staring into a fire at night would have had to “snap out” very quickly for possibly survival reasons. So, it makes sense we have adapted to come out of trance quickly if need be.
Hypnosis is not so much a loss of consciousness as a gaining of parallel awareness. This is why people can still feel consciously aware sometimes, even as they enjoy the therapeutic benefits of deep trance.
What if I wake up in the middle of a track?
During hypnosis people tend to go in and out of hypnosis, especially when they are new to it, whether this is during hypnosis online or in my therapy room. This is fine and natural.
Sometimes people need to listen a few times before they relax with the process. They find then that they don’t need to awaken half way through.
What if I don't come out of a trance completely?
We all enter hypnosis many times a day, when we are absorbed in a memory, focused on something fascinating or listening to music or watching a great movie. In these situations the attention becomes locked for a while. But we “come round” from these states of mind when we need to focus in a different way. Sometimes if people have been very deeply hypnotised they may need a little time to reawaken fully just as people might need a little time after sleep to start to feel fully alert.
How can I get the most out of the downloads?
Listen to them when you have some spare time in a distraction free environment. Listen once a day to begin then a few times a week then less often as you notice improvements and just enjoy them because they are very nice to listen to. Give them a chance to work.
Why should I buy from you rather than another company?
We have been using hypnosis to help people emotionally and physically since 1993 and we have trained thousands of professionals to use hypnosis to help many thousands more clients.
We were also the first company to offer hypnosis downloads/hypnosis online over the internet. However, none of those reasons should be enough to make us preferable to other sites.
We use indirect or naturalistic hypnotic approaches aligned with the latest understanding of how the brain actually works in regard to emotions behaviour and motivation. I don’t just feel it’s our superior use of hypnotic language that marks us out, but rather the strict protocol we have in aligning all our sessions to very sound and research based psychology.
Our monthly news letter goes out to around 180,000 subscribers and much of it’s content concerns not just hypnotic technique and hypnosis online, but a wider psychological understanding of how people both acquire problems and also how people can be helped to cast off their emotional binds.
Will it 'mess with my head'?
Sometimes people worry that they will be “controlled” via a hypnotic experience, whether or not with hypnosis online. We frame therapeutic hypnosis as a way of getting more control or an “un-messed head.”
People typically report feeling empowered and having more choice as to the way they respond to previously troubling triggers.
I seldom relax. What is the chance that I will with your download?
In our experience people who feel they can’t or seldom relax are the ones who, when given the genuine chance to rest, have wonderfully deep and refreshing experiences, because they are the ones who so need it.
Your subconscious mind tends to all your physical needs. When it perceives it’s really time to rest, it will do everything it can to supply that for you.
We all need to relax properly in order to calm the mind and restore physical processes like immune response and digestion. We’re happy to report that some people write to us claiming they had never felt so relaxed in their lives as when listening to our sessions.
What if the same habit starts again?
We have a three month money back guarantee for hypnosis online downloads - with no questions asked. So, if a habit does reassert itself, people can sometimes swap the download they used initially for another one, or claim their money back.
Generally though once a habit is gone it seldom comes back again. And if it does, it’s generally much easier to get rid of , because now the person has had experience of not having the destructive habit. Simply re-listening to the session may be enough to banish the habit again for good.
Will the download wipe away my memory from that experience?
One popular but discredited myth regarding hypnosis is that it can be used reliably to “discover” memories that were not pre-existing or “cleanse” the brain of memories.
We use hypnosis to treat problematic memories not by “erasing” them, but though a process of “re-framing” them so that they no longer feel emotionally overwhelming.
I have worked with many military veterans helping them to be able to calmly review past traumatic memories. When they can do this then the post traumatic stress disorder is effectively cured. They still have the memory and know it was bad at the time, of course, but it no longer feels bad if they choose to think about it. This is a world away form being continually swamped by a memory day and night.
How do you know that the downloads actually work?
We have a very low return rate and a very high level of positive feedback, though nothing works for everybody all the time.
What prompted you to start the company?
We had been teaching psychology and therapy approaches as well as how to use hypnosis for around nine years before we decided to expand and offer help to people all around the world with hypnosis online
People as far apart as India, Africa, Hawaii and New Mexico have benefited from what used to be a very local (to the south east of the UK) service.
Do you continue to see clients?
Yes, we still see some clients one to one as we feel it’s important to hone our skills and keep a hand in with face to face therapy.

Why hypnosis to get better?
Hypnosis is such a gentle,
safe and comfortable 'treatment'. It is nothing like
stage-hypnosis. Hypnosis, delivered by qualified, sensitive,
knowledgeable and experienced hypnotherapists, is one of the best
treatments I know. Now, with HypnsosisDowloads you are completely in
control, with access to all of those qualities - in your own
environment, your own time and at your own pace. And, to top
that - if it doesn't work for you (and nothing in life is
certain), you get your money back without any hassle or questions.
Of course you can chose to go to a counsellor and I would recommend that you consider that, but you need to find the right person. However, it is nowhere near as convenient and requires a greater investment in terms of time, funds and commitment.
So, why hypnosis downloads rather than seeing a
hypnotherapist? Read on ...

- You are able to get it sorted today
Elly recommends
I had a client recently whom had been terribly traumatised. He used the Mindfulness Meditation Training and Quiet Mind (see further down under stress management) downloads regularly, as suggested, and within about a week has made enormous progress calming himself down.
Now when he feels his anxiety rising - often in 'normally' ordinary situations - he is
able to adopt the strategies learned from the downloads and calm
himself down within minutes.
