Is (self-)hypnosis safe?
For most people, yes. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are generally considered safe when used appropriately as tools for relaxation, reflection, personal growth, or wellbeing. Many people experience hypnosis as a natural state of focused attention, similar to becoming absorbed in a book, movie, or daydream.
Will I lose control?
No. A common misconception is that hypnosis involves losing control or being controlled by someone else. In reality, you remain aware and in control throughout the experience. You can stop listening, open your eyes, move around, or end a session whenever you choose.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
People vary in how they experience hypnosis. Some people enter a deeply focused state, while others experience it more as guided relaxation or reflection. Both experiences are normal. There is no "right" way to experience hypnosis.
Are there situations where I should not use hypnosis?
You should not listen to hypnosis-based sessions while driving, cycling, operating machinery, or performing activities that require your full attention. Because some sessions may promote deep relaxation, they should only be used in a safe environment.
What if I feel uncomfortable?
Most people find hypnosis relaxing and enjoyable. However, if you feel uncomfortable at any point, simply stop the session, take a break, or switch to a different type of session. You are always in control of the experience.
Is hypnosis a medical treatment?
No. Subrise uses self-hypnosis techniques to support wellbeing, reflection, and personal growth. It is not a medical treatment and should not be considered a replacement for professional healthcare, therapy, or psychological support when needed.
