What you want to ask....

It's impossible to determine how many sessions an individual will need. 

However, research shows that 3-5 sessions are required to bring about lasting change. Some people can be helped with less, and some people might require a deal more.

Always contact your health insurance company before your appointment to ask if Hypnotherapy is a covered treatment.  

Most insurance companies will require a referral from your Primary Care Physician or Mental Health Provider.

If a referral is completed, Changing Paths Hypnotherapy will assist in filing claim.

Referral Forms are available in Client Forms 

Many people think that in order to be suggestible you have to be gullible. There's a big difference between gullibility and suggestibility. There is evidence to suggest that there is a correlation between intelligence levels and suggestibility. A sharp mind is an asset in accessing and benefiting from the state of hypnosis. The smarter you are, the more suggestible you tend to be.  

Cambridge dictionary defines intelligence as:
The ability to learn, understand and make judgments or have opinions that are based on reason. Simply put, intelligence is as your ability to have many different experiences, understand them and immerse yourself in them coming to an honest, unbiased view of something. That is what suggestions are designed to do, to give you a different set of experiences and you accepting them.  We are open to other methods because we possess the confidence and intellect to realize there may be information out there that we do not know.  It's a willingness to always learn and expand ourselves.  That is how people evolve or grow, how we become more intelligent or find better solutions to things.  I have found that when an individual is presented with something unknown to them and they lack the confidence and intelligence to accept that they may not know something, they may become defensive and insulting toward the topic.  People  sometimes ridicule and demean what they don't or can't understand.   They fear what is unknown to them.
