How hypnotherapy may support this goal

Gentle relaxation and guided inner work for people coping with loss and the emotional changes that follow it. Sessions are personalized around your specific triggers, experiences and desired outcome rather than using a one-size-fits-all script.

Hypnotherapy is a focused therapeutic approach that works with attention, habits, emotional associations and learned responses. Results vary by individual, and it should not replace appropriate medical, psychiatric, psychological or addiction treatment when that care is needed.

Not sure if this is the right session for you?

Start with a free 15-minute consultation with Ruth. You can ask questions, explain what you want to change, and decide whether to book a full session.

What to expect in a session

Your session begins with a conversation about the issue you want to work on and the change you want to experience. Ruth then guides you through relaxation and focused attention, using language, imagery and suggestion aligned with your goal. You are not unconscious and you remain in control throughout.

Most standard hypnotherapy appointments are 60 minutes. If you are unsure whether this service is right for you, book the free 15-minute consultation first.

Frequently asked questions

What is the success rate of hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is designed to create real change by working directly with the automatic thoughts, habits, emotional responses and associations that often keep a problem in place. We have many clients who have experienced great results and seen a significant change. Many clients experience strong, noticeable progress when they are genuinely ready for change and actively participate in the process. The more open, focused and committed you are during the sessions, the stronger the potential for meaningful and lasting results.

Can hypnotherapy be done over Zoom or in person?

Yes. Hypnotherapy sessions can be done in person at our Halifax, Nova Scotia clinic or online via Zoom, depending on what is most convenient and comfortable for you.

What happens during a hypnosis session?

Ruth begins by discussing your goal, then guides you into a relaxed, focused state using breathing, imagery and verbal suggestion. You remain aware and can communicate throughout the session.

Will I lose control during hypnosis?

No. Hypnosis is not mind control. You remain able to speak, reject suggestions and end the process at any time.

Can I book a free consultation first?

Yes. Atlantic Hypnotherapy offers a free 15-minute online consultation with Ruth before you book a full session.
