Twelve questions about hypnosis, safety and the guarantee

No. You are fully conscious for the whole session; only your eyes are closed. You hear everything, you talk with Draga, and you say nothing you do not want to say. Hypnosis is not sleep and not a trance in which someone else takes over. You can open your eyes and stop at any moment.

Yes, for healthy adults. It is a natural state of relaxed focus, much like being absorbed in a book or a film. DIT is not suitable for people with epilepsy, people with a psychiatric condition, or people who cannot communicate. This is discussed openly in the introductory call.

There are no known side effects. The session can be emotional, because you give old feelings the room they never had, but that is processing, not re-opening a wound. After a session of nearly three hours you may feel tired. Plan nothing demanding afterwards.

No. Hypnosis is a relaxed, focused state, not unconsciousness. You sit or lie comfortably, you breathe calmly and you stay in conversation. Fainting comes with a sudden drop in blood pressure, which is something entirely different from what happens in a session.

If you listen to the recording daily, stay in touch and there is no change after 3 months, you get a second session free of charge. That is part of the package, not a favour. Draga makes no promises about percentages or results: every person and every problem is different.

No, there is no refund. Instead, the second session within 3 months is free if nothing has changed. This is fixed in the terms, so you know exactly where you stand before you book.

Yes. The DIT method was designed for sessions via Zoom. You are at home, alone, in your own surroundings, which many people prefer for personal topics. You need a quiet room, a stable connection and earphones. If you would rather meet in person, that is possible in Amsterdam.

Up to 3 hours. That is what it takes to reach the root cause and finish the work in one go. Keep a whole half-day free and make sure you have nothing to do afterwards. That is why Draga works in fixed blocks: 9-12, 13-16 and 18-21 CET.

DIT stands for Deep Integrative Therapy: a form of hypnotherapy that finds and resolves the root cause of one problem in a single session, developed by Karmen Jerković. The protocol consists of a session of up to 3 hours, a personal recording and at least 3 months of follow-up. Read more on the page about DIT hypnotherapy.

Not for people under 18 without a parent, not for people with epilepsy, not for people with a psychiatric condition, and not for people who cannot communicate. If you take medication, talk to your GP first. Draga is not a doctor and does not diagnose; when in doubt, your GP is always the first step.

No. DIT hypnotherapy is not covered by Dutch health insurance, not even through supplementary packages. For comparison: a regular hypnotherapy trajectory in Amsterdam often costs €80 to €150 per session over 5 to 12 sessions. The DIT package of €250 is all-in, with a guarantee.

English, Dutch, Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Italian. You choose the language in which you find it easiest to talk about feelings; for most people that is their mother tongue. Your personal recording is made in that language too.
