Frequently Asked Questions

Our brand name, Hypnotension, reflects the fact that all our Certified Practitioners are qualified Hypnotherapists (or Hypnotists / NLP practitioners) who are trained to deal with the emotional and lifestyle factors causing Hypertension (high blood pressure).

Because the combination of high blood pressure factors is unique for each person, it can typically vary from 4-12 sessions over a suitable period of time. Your Certified Hypnotension Practitioner will ensure that the sessions are focussed to your personal needs so that you get the most benefit in the shortest time possible.

Each Certified Hypnotension Practitioner sets their own pricing according to their geographic location. Please contact your local Hypnotension practitioner for details on the costs.

Every Certified Hypnotension Practitioner appears in our Hypnotension practitioner finder, and may also display a certification trust seal on their website which updates every day.

If you have Primary (or Essential) hypertension, are committed to lowering your blood pressure, willing to work with your Certified Hypnotension Practitioner and you do the tasks that they set, it should certainly work for you. Not everyone can return their blood pressure to ‘ideal’ levels in a short period of time, but even a modest reduction can slash your chances of having a stroke or heart disease by 10% or more.

YES. Blood pressure medication manages the symptoms of high blood pressure whereas Hypnotension works with the underlying emotional ‘x factors’ and aggravating factors. So as the causes of your high blood pressure disappear, your GP may be able to reduce your medication over time.

Each person is different, so its impossible to give a precise timescale, however most people start to see a reduction in their BP within 3 or 4 sessions providing they are following the programme and doing all the tasks set. The number of sessions will depend on the number of x factors that have to be dealt with in your particular case.

We are currently conducting a study into the effects of using hypnotherapy for low blood pressure. If it proves to be effective, we will be incorporating it in to the Hypnotension program and training our practitioners in to deal with it.

NO, unless you call a natural reduction in your blood pressure a side effect.

Probably not. The Hypnotension programme is designed to help people with Primary or Essential Hypertension, as these types of high blood pressure are influenced by emotional and lifestyle factors. Secondary Hypertension is diagnosed when there is an identifiable medical condition, such as kidney disease, so whilst we may be able to provide some help, it will be limited by your underlying medical condition.

To become a Certified Hypnotension Practitioner you need to meet all statutory or voluntary requirements for Hypnotherapy or NLP practice in your country, and have either attended a minimum of 120 hours professional classroom based training in Hypnotherapy or NLP OR have a minimum of 3 years full time practical experience.
