Clinical hypnosis has gained considerable attention and credibility in the last several\u00a0decades, due to its widespread and effective use by doctors, dentists, surgeons, psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as hypnotherapists. Despite that, misconceptions abound, due to inaccurate portrayals in literature or on stage and screen.<\/p>\n
Hypnosis is not a form of mind control. No one can force you to act against your will. \u00a0No one can\u00a0make you do anything under hypnosis that you do not want to do. And y<\/strong>ou are free to come out of hypnosis at any time you want. \u00a0Under hypnosis,\u00a0you are still able to use all of your senses, and to\u00a0think, analyze, and decide. \u00a0\u00a0You can also\u00a0talk, walk, and move your body if you want to.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Hypnosis is not a zombie-like state that somebody can put you in \u00a0and manipulate you into doing what you wouldn\u2019t otherwise do. \u00a0Hypnotic suggestions can\u00a0not be used for deceitful manipulation or to exploit a person’s vulnerabilities.<\/p>\n While I do believe that people can be manipulated into doing what they otherwise wouldn\u2019t choose freely to do\u00a0by means of\u00a0intimidation, deception, physical force, or sexual enticement.\u00a0But putting someone in hypnosis does not thereby render them subject to, or any\u00a0more susceptible to, anyone else\u2019s will.<\/p>\n Since hypnosis requires your full cooperation, you can never be compelled to accept as true\u00a0or do anything under hypnosis that violates your ethical standards, moral or spiritual beliefs, core values, sense of good taste, or personal preferences.<\/p>\n During hypnosis, the\u00a0critical part of a person’s\u00a0mind is fully functional \u00a0and evaluates any\u00a0suggestions to\u00a0determine whether\u00a0they are in conflict with what that person believes and values. \u00a0Any conflicting suggestions are rejected by the critical mind.<\/p>\n At any time during hypnosis, you can open your eyes and come out of it if you want or need to do so. Nothing prevents you from getting up and walking out the door. The choice is always yours.<\/p>\n Coming out of hypnosis is easy. I always bring you back to full consciousness before the session concludes, so you are ready to continue with the rest of your day, feeling rested and fully alert. You also learn how to bring yourself out of hypnosis for those times when you are practicing self-hypnosis or listening to the hypnosis audio file I make and email to you after each session.<\/p>\n Hypnosis is NOT\u00a0a magic wand or miracle cure that can instantaneously achieve goals or immediately wipe away all problems and dissolve all negative blocks. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n That being said, if you\u00a0are open, ready to make the changes you\u00a0declare, and committed to doing your\u00a0part of the\u00a0process, hypnotherapy\u00a0can be highly effective in replacing your chaotic, destructive behavior patterns with consistent, constructive ones\u00a0that get enable you to\u00a0complete your goals.<\/p>\n Using the many tools and techniques I apply and teach you, you learn first hand that\u00a0success breeds success.\u00a0As a result, you relish\u00a0each accomplishment and thereby strengthen your resolve, self-confidence and self-esteem. \u00a0Armed with the means\u00a0to overcome any residual resistance that may crop up, you accelerate your progress and rely on a process you see working in your life. Because these tools and techniques are highly adaptable, you can use them to overcome\u00a0\u00a0inner blocks that impact\u00a0other areas of your life. \u00a0As a result, you\u00a0face your future with enthusiasm and courage, knowing you have what it takes to succeed.<\/p>\n <\/p> Have a Question or Concern?<\/span><\/h1>\n\n
