How many sessions can I expect hypnotherapy to require?

John McGrail, C.Ht. (Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist) gives expert video advice on: Is there a certification or credentialing process for the practice of hypnosis?; What is the best way to find a good hypnotherapist? and more...

There is no answer. Every mind responds differently and every condition responds differently. As a rule, hypnotherapy is considered a short-term therapy as opposed to more conventional talk therapy. So, if we get results, we tend to get them fairly quickly and sometimes extremely quickly. If we do hypnotherapy right and correctly and the person's committed to making a change, those changes will stick. So it could be two sessions, it could be twelve. There is no definitive answer to how much hypnosis people need.
