The state of hypnosis is characterized by alpha-theta brainwave state.
Alpha waves (8-12 Hz) and theta waves (4-7 Hz) are the primary brainwave frequencies observed during the alpha-theta state.
Alpha waves are associated with relaxed, wakeful states, while theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and access to subconscious memories.
This occurs naturally to us during our everyday activities such as before and after sleeping, moments of daydreaming, going on walks, engaging in creative activities such as painting, writing, or playing musical instruments, driving.

Therapy sessions carry both benefits and risks. Therapy sessions can significantly reduce the amount of distress someone is feeling, improve relationships, and/or resolve other specific issues.However, these improvements and any “cures” cannot be guaranteed for any condition due to the many variables that affect these therapy sessions.
During the therapy session, experiencing uncomfortable feelings, physical unease,and discussing unpleasant situations, memories and/or aspects of your life are considered part of the therapy session and are considered risks of the therapy session.After the session, there is typically and integration period where uncomfortable feelings may still be felt, and/or physical discomfort and unease may occur (for example, this may include fatigue, headaches and feeling emotionally sensitive). These are also considered risks of the therapy session. This integration period typically last for up to 2 days after the session date. Full integration can be expected 7-11 days after the session date.
