Trance can be anything from a visualisation type experience where you can talk freely to a deeply relaxed dream type state. Trance is a naturally occurring state and hypnosis uses this state in order to prompt change in the required direction.
No. Hypnotherapy requires the co-operation and trust of the client in order to work. A large part of the session is spent on understanding fully the client's needs and building a deep level of trust between client and therapist.
Yes, the client is fully aware at some level of what is going on. Any suggestions for change made during the session that are not in line with the client will be ignored by the unconscious mind even to the point where it may bring the client out of trance. Such suggestions are therefore counterproductive.
What ever your presenting problem is, your therapist has decided that it is being caused by a "locked in emotion" in your subconscious mind. These locked away emotions are attached to a memory from our younger years. This often happens to us when we are younger because our minds are still immature and the conscious mind struggles to deal with the emotion. This is where that saying of "letting sleeping dogs lie" comes from. These memories with the locked away emotion are those sleeping dogs, and the saying is very true. If they are sleeping, then let them stay there undisturbed because they are not affecting you. But what if one or two of those locked away emotions don't settle down and are still buzzing away in your subconscious mind. Remember you have no knowledge of what these are because you have no conscious awareness of them.
These locked away emotions are like a form of energy buzzing away in the sub conscious mind. So the sub conscious mind tries to release them in a form of energy. This can come out as a phobia, panic attacks, a fear or even a physical symptom like a rash etc. The sub conscious mind will just keep on trying and trying to get rid of them. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The only way to remove them is to bring them to a conscious awareness so the conscious mind can release them. Once they have gone, they've gone for good, and you experience a lasting release from your problem. The phobia, fear etc will disappear for good. You will feel happier and more content.
Analysis is not instant. It will take about 6 - 12 sessions. But remember this is much quicker than traditional psychoanalysis or counselling which can take up to two years.
By using hypnosis to help you relax, you just allow memories to come into your mind. By doing this, at some point the memory that has the locked away emotion attached to it comes into the conscious mind. You briefly experience that emotion, and then it is released for good. You problem has been released with it as well, and after a few weeks of settling down, the problem has gone for good.
