Most people describe the experience of hypnosis as highly relaxing-yet-energizing, much like a deep meditation. The transformations that occur feel easy and effortless, and mental imagery is much more vivid than if you were to imagine something in your everyday life.
Some folks remain entirely "conscious" and alert, while others go into a deep trance. Some experience vivid, imagined experiences as though they are real, while others take in the suggestions in other ways.
Everyone is different, and the depth of trance does not determine the effectiveness of the suggestions.
You will continue to think thoughts, and that is entirely normal. Our hypnosis sessions are often interactive, like a conversation with your eyes closed.
Most of my clients leave their hypnosis sessions feeling a wonderful blend of calm and energized, inspired and joyful. This feeling lingers and carries you throughout the rest of your day/week.
After your session(s), you'll find that change starts to happen naturally. You might notice yourself having different thought patterns, taking action with less resistance, or moving through your day with more self-belief. This is because the subconscious mind takes on these ideas without the need for conscious effort or willpower, making it a powerful way to make rapid changes.
