While clinical hypnotherapy is generally safe, there are important considerations. Clients should be aware that deep exploration of thoughts and memories during hypnosis may evoke temporary emotional discomfort. In rare cases, there’s a potential for false memories to emerge or for suggestions to influence perceptions. Vulnerability to suggestion is balanced by working with qualified hypnotherapists who ensure alignment with individual goals and values. Clients must choose reputable, ethical practitioners to navigate these potential risks effectively.
