Testimonial of a Real Joymind Client Anxiety

Does virtual hypnotherapy work?

Yes, hypnotherapy is a powerful and proven method for creating meaningful change. It works by accessing your subconscious mind, the part of your mind that holds habits, beliefs, and emotions. This allows you to reprogram thought patterns and behaviors that may be holding you back. Studies show hypnotherapy is highly effective for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, breaking bad habits, and emotional healing. While results vary by person, those who commit to the process often experience profound and lasting transformation.

Is hypnotherapy safe?

Yes, hypnotherapy is completely safe. You remain in control throughout the session and can emerge from the hypnotic state at any time. Hypnosis is simply a relaxed, focused state, and you’ll never be made to do anything against your will. The process is collaborative, ensuring your comfort and safety every step of the way.

Hypnotherapy vs traditional talk therapy

Talk therapy helps you process thoughts and emotions through conversation, but sometimes talking about issues isn’t enough—and can even feel overwhelming or painful.   Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, helping you address the root causes of challenges more gently. It’s designed to bring peace, calm, and relaxation while creating lasting change. Many clients turn to hypnotherapy because talk therapy wasn’t giving them the results they needed, and hypnotherapy can often create breakthroughs faster.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

Yes, most people can be hypnotized. All Joymind hypnotherapists are trained through the largest, accredited program in the country. HMI’s intensive two-year certification, requires hundreds of practice hours to effectively prepare hypnotherapists. If you’ve tried hypnosis before and felt it didn’t work, it’s likely that the practitioner wasn’t clinically certified.  With the right guidance, hypnosis is a natural state that anyone can access—it just takes a skilled, certified hypnotherapist to help you get there.

Why virtual is effective?

Virtual hypnotherapy is just as effective as in-person sessions. All you need is a quiet, comfortable space and a stable internet connection. The hypnotherapist guides you through the process via video, and you’ll experience the same level of relaxation and focus as you would in a physical office. You remain fully in control and aware throughout the session. Many clients find virtual sessions even more convenient, as they can do them from the comfort of their own home.

How many sessions will I need to address my issue?

We generally recommend 8-12 sessions, but the exact number depends on your goals and how you progress. Your first session is 80 minutes, giving us time for a deep dive into your needs. Some clients feel noticeable relief after just one session, but to create lasting change, commitment is key. The more dedicated you are to the process—like listening to your session recordings and following your hypnotherapist’s recommendations between sessions—the faster you’ll see results.

Is Hypnotherapy Similar to Stage Hypnosis?

Stage hypnosis is meant for entertainment, where participants often perform funny or exaggerated actions for a crowd. These individuals are usually willing participants who go along with the suggestions because they want to entertain the audience. In contrast, hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice designed to help you overcome challenges. During a hypnotherapy session, you are always in control and fully aware of what’s happening. The goal isn’t to entertain but to guide you toward healing and personal transformation through deep subconscious work.

90-Day program

True transformation takes time. The 90-day framework is designed to give your mind the consistency and reinforcement it needs to form new habits and lasting mental patterns. During this period, the subconscious mind has the opportunity to absorb and solidify positive changes, making them sustainable over the long term. It’s not about a quick fix but about building momentum and creating meaningful change that sticks. With regular sessions and practice, clients often find this 90-day process to be the foundation for real, lasting growth.

Can I use my FSA or HSA accounts to pay for hypnotherapy sessions?

Yes, you can use your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for hypnotherapy sessions. Our practice accepts FSA/HSA cards as a form of payment, making it easier for you to invest in your mental and emotional well-being using pre-tax dollars.
