Hypnotherapy. . .

Hypnosis has the ability to change behaviors and patterns effectively, because it addresses the Subconscious mind. The Subconscious mind is where a vast reservoir of information resides that allows you to solve problems, construct sentences, and locate your keys. The subconscious puts together plans and ideas and then filters them through your Conscious Mind.

Hypnosis is an altered state that affords you extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened focus and imagination. It’s not like sleep, because you are alert through the process. It is usually compared to “day dreaming, or the feeling of “just losing yourself” in a book or TV program. You’re fully conscious, and simultaneously you’ll tune out most of the stimulation around you. So you focus closely on the issue at hand, and eliminate other thoughts.

This state is brought about intentionally, with exercises that both relax and focus you. This deep hypnosis is often compared to the relaxed mental state between wakefulness and sleep. You’re always aware of what's going on, but your conscious mind falls into the background and your subconscious mind becomes more and more accessible and suggestible.

Now that you know how hypnosis works, you can experience a free, mini-hypnosis sample to relax you.  I'll take you into a medium state of relaxation, so you can get a brief feeling for it.

In hypnosis clients are taught to use their inner resources creatively in approaching their problems in life by concentrating on potential answers and resources that lie within. We create a lot of our own experience by the specific ways we see, hear, and feel things in our mind and body. This is usually collected together like a map and called “thinking”. This “thinking map” makes it possible for one individual to feel terrorized by a simple task like public speaking or flying in an airplane, while someone else will feel energized or excited by these prospects. By exploring the thinking map and the feelings, keys are discovered to find solutions to goals.

Hypnosis, in its many forms, identified by a number of names, is a universal way for reaching the subconscious mind with messages. Whatever personal change you need or want for yourself, hypnosis can work as a basic method. Essentially, it involves a process of persuading yourself that you can change and achieve your desired goals by freeing yourself of distraction or doubt. It is a stress transforming relaxation technique and a learning discovery technique. It is the ultimate self-motivator.

Actually, most forms of meditation, biofeedback, deep prayer, yoga, Ti Chi, Zen, etc., all teach hypnosis in one form or another. The sensation experienced by clients differs. However, most say it is like a daydream. They remember everything they did, but knew they were in a very relaxed state of mind.

The process of hypnosis is as a simple, natural flow. The goal is set by the client. The client agrees to experience hypnosis with the therapist. It is agreed that the total permission of the client will be achieved prior to making any changes in any goals. The therapist discusses past positive emotional resources that can be used in the session to achieve the client’s goal. The therapist leads the client into a relaxed state where the eyes are closed and breathing and heart rate slow down at the client’s own pace. When the client is sufficiently relaxed, the therapist brings in the situation associated with the goal that the client wants to change. The positive past emotional resource that was previously identified by the client is then transferred into the present and anchored into future situations, where they can be utilized by the client. Thus changing the old pattern (map) and installing a new resource map to achieve the goal. The resource anchor is then tested to confirm that the old pattern is broken and the goal is achieved, that a change has been made in the unconscious mind map. A future rehearsal is completed and an ecology check is made test for agreement with all parts of the self. Under the therapist’s direction, the client is slowly led back into a fully awake state of consciousness

Hypnosis enables you to access the power of your subconscious to balance and control your life.
