Side Effects of Hypnosis

What to keep in mind

Hypnosis, when conducted by a trained and licensed professional, is generally considered safe and does not have any serious side effects. However, as with any form of therapy, there are some potential risks and considerations to keep in mind.

Some people may experience mild side effects from hypnosis, such as: 

  • headaches
  • dizziness 
  • anxiety
  • disorientation. 

These effects are usually short-lived and go away on their own.

There is also a small risk of creating false memories or distorted perceptions under hypnosis, although this is rare and generally occurs only if a therapist is using methods that are not approved by peak body organisations.

Hypnosis must not be used

It's important to note that hypnosis is not recommended for people with certain conditions, such as:

  • psychosis
  • dissociative disorders
  • seizure disorders
  • or similar. 

Additionally, hypnosis should always be conducted by a trained and licensed professional to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Case by case bases

Hypnosis is conducted on a case by case bases. As with any form of therapy, it's important to discuss any potential risks or concerns with your healthcare provider before trying hypnosis or any other complementary therapy.
