No. Neither do most other healthcare providers. Your trainer won’t guarantee results, your weight loss advisor won’t guarantee results, and the same is true here.
In hypnosis, I play the role of a navigator. I give directions, and if you want to reach the destination we’ve agreed on, you need to follow them. I’m very good at guiding people along a route they can feel good about, but if you choose not to follow the directions, I can’t guarantee where you’ll end up.
This is less of an issue during the session itself, when we are working together, but almost all hypnotherapy involves some degree of homework between sessions. For example, if I suggest keeping a regular bedtime to support better sleep and reduce stress, but you continue working on your laptop in bed until the early hours of the morning, I can’t promise results.
That said, I have a very strong success rate. If I accept you as a client, it’s because I believe I can help you reach your goals and I trust that you are ready to do the work. I usually have a waiting list, so I’m selective about the clients I take on.
I want you to succeed, and I’ll work with you to make that happen. If I feel you aren’t doing your part, I may end the work and refer you elsewhere. What I do not offer is a retail-style money-back guarantee.
The only exception would be if, for some reason, I were unable to help you go into trance during our first session. In that case, I would refund your money, because I would not have fulfilled my part of the process. In more than ten years of practice, that has never happened.
