Question 2

What is it used for? For whom?

Here is a list of subjects for which it is possible to consult:
Anxiety control and stress management
Stopping bad habits (e.g.: smoking, biting your nails, etc.)
Weight control (e.g.: weight loss, muscle gain, eating disorders, etc.)
Ending insomnia

Question 3

Is it really effective?

Accepted Answer

Hypnosis therapy is as effective as other types of therapy: it all depends on how you receive it and whether you agree to do the work on yourself. This approach is another tool for overcoming difficulties: the therapist accompanies the person in his process and serves as a guide, but it is the client himself who determines the effectiveness of the consultations through his involvement and his willingness.

As a RITMA member ("grouping of practitioners and therapists in alternative and complementary medicine"), Louis-Olivier Lorrain can issue receipts for insurance purposes (naturopathy).
