Hello!
First off, thank you for taking to the time to fill out this assessment.
My name is Lainie Naugle. I’m the hypnotherapist and founder of Achieve! Hypnotic Solutions. I work with people one on one for private sessions, lead monthly workshops and host lectures for professional groups. It is my goal to empower others to live their most desired life.
Despite hypnosis being acknowledged as a powerful healing modality by the American Medical Association, I realize there are still many common misconceptions about hypnosis and the benefits of hypnotherapy.
One of those misconceptions is that only certain people can by hypnotized. The truth is, a skilled hypnotist can work with anyone who is willing. Your ability to be hypnotized has nothing to do with being weak-minded or a certain kind of person. It has everything to do with how open you are, and if your hypnotist knows how to work with the way you translate information.
There are four basic ways of understanding information: Physical, Emotional, Somnambulist and Intellectual. This assessment is not a diagnostic tool; it is to help you understand what your suggestibility type is so you can learn how hypnosis works with you on an individual level.
I hope you find it useful and informative!
