Who are the hypnotherapists?

Of course, you want to know who your hypnotherapist is, because you are surrendering yourself to us during a session. And that is where a common misunderstanding arises, because I can make you do anything under hypnosis, but nothing that you would not really want to do yourself. For example, if I, as a hypnotist, asked you for your PIN code, you would immediately come out of hypnosis.

What makes us special as hypnotherapists is that we base our approach on NLP Neuro-Linguistic Programming. We therefore spend a lot of time on the intake in order to create a personal script based on your beliefs.

Who is your conversation partner?

Ben ter Horst as a psychosocial and hypnotherapist.

I completed my training as a hypnotherapist with Arno van den Munckhof, Ruud Nooyen and Ina Oostrom at Hypnose Centrum Nederland in Boxmeer. There, I was trained in regular hypnosis as well as EMDR hypnowave, sports hypnosis and regression during hypnosis.

Tim Brinkman as Hypnotherapist

I trained as a hypnotherapist with Ben ter Horst, but the foundations were mainly laid in Eric Schneider's NLP courses in Belgium. NLP already makes extensive use of light forms of trance. The training at Holistic Centre Brabant is mainly based on applying that knowledge in the form of hypnotherapy. The success of our therapy lies in making a genuine connection during the intake phase, from which we can then work with the clients' own beliefs.

Wilma ter Horst as Energy and Hypnotherapist

The hypnotherapy techniques were mainly taught by Ben ter Horst. However, the foundations for this were already laid during the training to become an Energy Therapist at Tereel.

That more intuitive part is always involved in a session using hypnotherapy.

Frequently asked questions

Isn't hypnosis very scary?

No, hypnosis is a wonderful thing to experience and a very special experience. Read the questions and answers below.

Is one hypnosis session really enough? Or does it only have an effect after several sessions?

In most cases, yes. Hypnosis is an incredibly powerful tool.

The hypnotist uses the word ‘sleep’. Will I actually fall asleep?

No, you are not actually going to sleep. You are simply conscious and can hear everything. However, your brain knows exactly what is meant by the command ‘sleep’ and will give you a nudge to relax more quickly and deeply or to go straight into hypnosis.

How does it feel to be under hypnosis?

Anyone who has ever been hypnotised will agree: it is a fantastic experience.

What is the difference between a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist?

A hypnotist is an expert in the field of hypnosis and not a therapist. They can usually help you resolve your problem in a single session. As a hypnotherapist and coach, I have completed a six-year training programme and can provide you with insight into the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of a problem, which we can then work together to identify and resolve. This usually requires one to three sessions.  It is also possible to follow an additional coaching programme after the hypnotherapy.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?

No, this is not possible. The hypnotist will end the hypnosis, or you can stop the process yourself.

Can the hypnotist make me do things I don't want to do?

No, that is impossible. A hypnotist can only make you ‘do things’ that you would also do in everyday life. If you would morally reject something or normally never do something, you will not do it under hypnosis either.

Can anyone be hypnotised?

In principle, anyone who is willing can be hypnotised. Only people with intellectual disabilities or mental disorders cannot be hypnotised.

Can I be hypnotised against my will?

No, your willingness is necessary to achieve a state of hypnosis.

Can I be hypnotised without knowing it?

This is also not possible. No willingness is not hypnosis.

How long does a session last?

A session lasts approximately 45 minutes, including the preliminary discussion. During this preliminary discussion, we discuss the pitfalls, wishes and expectations. In the case of hypnotherapy, the session can sometimes run a little longer, up to approximately 1.5 hours.

My problem relates to a painful issue that I would rather not discuss. Can hypnosis still help me?

Yes, that is possible. In the case of direct hypnosis, it is not necessary to know the background of a problem or to bring up painful issues. You tell us what is bothering you and what your wishes are. We will then work in your subconscious to bring about the desired changes.

How long will it take before I see results?

In many cases, you will see immediate results after the session. In some cases, such as weight management, it may take a while before you see results.

How long will the changes last?

In almost all cases, the changes are immediate and permanent.

How will I feel after a session?

You feel relaxed, refreshed and fantastic.

Can I hypnotise myself?

Yes, you can. Self-hypnosis can be learned. However, it is not as powerful as being hypnotised. In one session, I can provide you with a tool to make it easier for you to do this yourself.
