WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that helps an individual better understand their own behaviors, limiting beliefs & perception. Hypnotherapy works as a motivating force for client vocational/avocational self-improvement.

From movies, television and stage shows, people often get the idea that when in hypnosis, it’s being under someone else’s control, or that someone else has power over the individual under hypnosis. This is far from the truth!  In hypnotherapy, the client has to want to be hypnotized and allows the state to take place.

Hypnosis takes place when both the conscious-mind and subconscious-mind come together. It’s not being asleep, nor is it being in a state of wakefulness. It’s that somewhere in-between twilight experience. A heightened state of awareness.

An altered plane of consciousness. When in state, an individual can open their eyes and stop the session, or leave the clinic at any time, should they choose to. However, that has never happened in my experience. The individual feels relaxed and aware of all thoughts/sounds around them, yet, remaining detached from those sounds & thoughts.

In an integrated therapeutic approach, hypnotherapy has proven to be very beneficial for a variety of health and psychological issues under the auspices of a medical doctor or other related licensed professional for health and psychological issues.

UNDERSTANDING THE MIND

The Conscious Mind

The conscious mind deals with everyday living. It holds all our reasoning, analytical thinking, decision making processes, logic and will power. It comes up with ideas and is excellent in making plans. When too much stress is present, the conscious mind can become overloaded.

While in the state of hypnosis, the conscious mind is calm and relaxed, however always present and aware.

The Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is the source of all known associations, all memory.

Without judgment, the subconscious literally accepts all our background messages; genetic, social, religious, life experiences, whether positive or negative. The subconscious works from expectation and imagination and it does not register the difference between fact and fantasy.

If the conscious mind does become overloaded, the more primitive area of the subconscious-mind becomes triggered for fight or flight. Today, fight/flight is experienced more in the form of anxiety or depression.

SERVICES

Weight Loss

Hypnosis predates carb and calorie counting by a few centuries, but modern society has been slow to embrace it as an effective weight loss strategy. Hypnosis helps folks resolve the underlying emotional challenges that create resistance to exercise, gives way to cravings, which, inevitably lead to bingeing and/or eating mindlessly. Through hypnosis, we understand information buried deep within the subconscious, lease negative emotions/associations & identify triggers that can be disarmed. Hypnosis in weight loss helps an individual experience, in a multi-sensory way, the feelings of being strong, fit and in control, helping to overcome emotional barriers that stand in the way of successfully reaching goals

Smoking Cessation

It is most important to understand that smoking is an addiction. Cigarettes become, for most people, part of a coping mechanism to deal with emotional pressures like stress, fear, anxiety, and boredom. Hypnosis is an excellent tool for learning ‘why’ by uncovering the subconscious motivation to smoke. It is an excellent tool for changing habits and emotional associations that drive behavior. If an individual truly wants to quit and is willing to put in the effort, they can successfully be a non-smoker for life.

Pregnancy and Childbirth

In this preparation, the aim is to have expectant mothers view birth in a positive manner with the belief that childbirth does not have to be painful. Women choosing hypnosis for childbirth are taught self-hypnosis to enable control of the degree and manner in which they feel labor contractions and the process of birth. A support person or birth partner is encouraged to be with the woman in the classes and during labor, but, is not a requirement for hypnosis and childbirth participation. Studies have shown that mothers using hypnosis in childbirth use less pain medication and rate their pain as less severe. Hypnosis may be a good choice for moms who want a pain relief option other than medication, or, to use less medication. Unlike medication, hypnosis has no side effects or risks.

Pain Management

Hypnosis helps achieve fascinating results in managing and reducing pain. We’re able to ‘dial it down’, or use our ‘internal anesthetic glove’ to reduce pain. However, it is vital to seek a medical doctor to understand the physiological reason, if any, for the pain. With your medical doctors’ consent, hypnosis can produce relief from symptoms that may have resisted various other forms of treatment. The power of all healing is within you and everyone responds differently. I use creative imagery and visualization, hypnotic suggestions and metaphors designed to help your body’s natural ability to manage and heal pain while gaining control on how you feel.

Anxiety

Hypnosis is considered an aid to psychotherapy (counseling or therapy) because the hypnotic state allows people to explore painful thoughts, feelings, and memories they might have hidden from their conscious minds. Understanding where the anxiety is in the body? How can it best be described? Does it restrict breathing, speaking clearly, your thoughts, motor performance, or coordination? Hypnosis helps folks with anxiety address their causal underlying issue while introducing a new way of thinking to the mind, allowing the individual to experience relief in a lasting way
