Hypnotherapy is generally safe for most people, but there are some cases where it may NOT be suitable. 

If you have any of the following conditions or are on these medications, please contact me immediately to discuss whether hypnotherapy is still suitable for you. 

If it is agreed hypnotherapy is not suitable for you, a refund will be issued and your appointment/access to the course will be cancelled.

Please note it is your responsibility to let Jo know if any of these apply to you prior to your appointment.

Individuals who should avoid hypnotherapy or seek medical advice before proceeding include:

Individuals with Severe Mental Health Conditions 

– Those with schizophrenia, psychosis, or severe personality disorders should avoid hypnosis, as it may interfere with their condition.

People with Epilepsy 

– Hypnosis can sometimes trigger seizures in individuals with epilepsy, so medical approval is recommended.

Those with a History of Severe Trauma or PTSD

 – While hypnotherapy can be helpful for trauma, it should only be done by a trained professional specializing in trauma therapy to avoid retraumatization.

Individuals with Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension)

 – Deep relaxation during hypnosis may lower blood pressure further, so caution is advised.

Anyone Who Feels Highly Resistant to Hypnosis

 – If someone is skeptical or unwilling, hypnosis is unlikely to be effective.

Recreational Drugs or Alcohol 

- If you are under the influence of recreational drugs or alcohol, hypnosis and meditation is not suitable. If attending a hypnotherapy session, please be aware that your appointment will be postponed if you are found to be under the influence.

Medication Considerations:

Certain medications can affect a person’s ability to be hypnotized or respond effectively to hypnosis, including:

Antipsychotic Medications

 – Medications used for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe depression may alter cognitive function and reduce responsiveness to hypnosis.

Sedatives or Tranquilizers

 Can make individuals too drowsy to engage fully in hypnosis.

Strong Painkillers

 – Medications may dull awareness and make it difficult to focus during hypnosis.

Certain Antidepressants 

– While most antidepressants don’t interfere with hypnosis, some can affect alertness or cognitive function, reducing effectiveness.

Stimulants (e.g., ADHD Medication) 

May make it harder to relax fully.

Recommendation:

If you have any medical conditions or take prescription medications, it is always best to consult with your doctor before undergoing hypnotherapy. Your safety and well-being come first!

By booking an appointment/accessing the course you are responsible that you do not meet any of the above reasons.
