Hypnosis Takes You

Beyond Poker Strategy

FAQ

What is poker hypnosis?
It is a state of relaxation similar to sleep like all hypnosis with the emphasis on Texas Hold'em and other forms of poker.

Why is relaxation important to hypnosis?
It allows your conscious analytical mind to wander so it won't analyze the positive suggestions you hear and disregard them because they seem unobtainable.

Is poker hypnosis dangerous?
No.  Hypnosis is a normal state of mind people float in and out of every day.  You're in a state of hypnosis when you're engrossed in a movie, listening to music that captures a mood, or don't hear your name called when you're reading a book.

Can I get stuck in hypnosis?
No, If you are in a relaxed state and an emergency occurs, you will become awake and alert immediately.  During hypnosis you can get up and move around at any time.  If you are so relaxed you don't want to wake up, you will simply fall into a natural sleep and wake when you're rested.

Can you make me do things I don't want to do?
No.  Hypnosis is not mind control.  It is a set of suggestions you choose to accept.  You will never do anything that violates your morals or judgment.  Stage shows work because participants want to act silly.  They wouldn't do it if they didn't want to.  I can't make you use your credit card for a $10,000 entry fee to the World Series of Poker - unless you want to, of course. 

Can I still bluff at the poker table if I use poker hypnosis?
Yes, hypnosis it isn't truth serum.  Even in a state of hypnosis you can lie.  You always have free willIt will have no negative impact on your poker strategy at all.

Will I remember my hypnosis session?
Yes, for the most part.  You'll remember as much as you would any other 30 minute conversation you have.  You will be aware of your surroundings at all times.

Can any poker player be hypnotized?
Yes, we all have the ability.  Some players are more skeptical and less likely to relax.  Anyone can train their mind and body to go into a relaxed state if the desire is great enough.

What makes it work so well?
Your subconscious mind works to keep you happy and healthy.  When you hear positive suggestions your subconscious will accept the suggestions and instruct your body to perform the physical functions accordingly.  You actually retrain your brain to react at the poker table with different behaviors.  It takes practice but it's done every day.

Why a Poker Hypnotherapist?
Michele Burghardt is also an avid poker player.  She understands the nuances of Texas Hold'em and can match your bad beat stories one for one.  Just like anything else, it's  best to work with someone who fully understands what you're experiencing.

Hypnosis has been around for centuries and seems to go in and out of fashion.  This century is starting to recognize the benefits more than in the past.  Hypnosis is a relaxed focused state of concentration.  The relaxation allows your analytical conscious mind to wander and allows your subconscious mind to open itself to suggestions.  In this relaxed state your mind is very open to visualization and creating sensory experiences.  The more real the experience becomes in the subconscious, the more positive effect it will have on your waking behavior.
