Bipolar Disorder is a mental illness classified as a “Mood Disorder”, and effects about 4% of the population.

I think the most commonly asked question I am asked by perspective clinical hypnotherapy clients is, “How many sessions will I need, in order to be fully treated?” The answer is, it honestly varies from person to person and condition to condition.
Many factors come into play when determining a session’s length or how many sessions will be needed, such as the reason and issue for treatment, the effects of the issue on your daily happenings, and your personal rate of progress. Everyone processes, communicates, and absorbs information differently, and as a professional hypnotherapist, it is my goal to make sure I am able to cater to all your individual needs, tailor making each hypnotherapy session to benefit the unique patter of neural pathways within your brain.
One thing you must know is that hypnosis is generally a short-term treatment process. Unlike psychology and psychiatry, which often take two sessions per week for an open-ended time (often years), hypnotherapy is most effective in a handful of sessions. Because the science of hypnotherapy relies on being immediately suggestive, its results are also fairly immediate, and thus is the basis of its appeal.
