Many clients who come for hypnotherapy have tried other forms of counseling to resolve their emotional, physical, or\u00a0behavioral problems. \u00a0Typically, they have\u00a0gained greater understanding\u00a0about what triggers their problems and how\u00a0their\u00a0problems adversely impact their health, self-image, relationships, career, finances, and\u00a0other aspects of their lives. Nevertheless, they still seek professional help that goes beyond just talking about their issues and goals. \u00a0They want to\u00a0resolve\u00a0their problems, so they can start\u00a0living happier, more fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n
Hypnotherapy attracts clients who are looking for therapeutic tools and techniques to effect\u00a0positive change in a relatively short period of time.\u00a0Many scientific studies of clinical hypnosis validate its benefits. In 2007, for example, the American Health Magazine compared psychoanalysis, behavior therapy, and hypnosis to determine the efficacy of hypnosis treatments. The results indicated:<\/p>\n
Hypnotherapy is an effective, brief-term form of therapy that uses specific hypnotic suggestions and techniques tailored to the client\u2019s particular mindset, in order to gain direct access to, and immediate influence upon, their subconscious, where positive changes originate. \u00a0This influence is not a form of mind control; no client can be forced under hypnosis to accept any suggestions they would not otherwise accept. \u00a0(Please see “What are Popular Misconceptions?” in the Hypnosis FAQ section.)<\/p>\n
By engaging in Socratic dialogue with the client before inducing hypnosis, I gain important information, not only about the client’s goals and lack of progress, but also about their limiting beliefs, traumatic experiences, and internal resistance to taking constructive action. \u00a0 Together we explore\u00a0possible factors that\u00a0underly\u00a0sabotaging their own success. \u00a0What motivation and benefits (such as\u00a0pain avoidance, self-protection, managing overwhelm, maintaining a sense of control) do they derive (or believe they do) from NOT achieving their goals and dreams.<\/p>\n
Using this information, I then put the client in hypnosis to engage\u00a0their subconscious directly in a receptive\u00a0state. \u00a0By\u00a0offering suggestions and using techniques such as desensitization, ego-strengthening, creative visualization, and cognitive reframing, I redirect the subconscious to \u00a0break bad habits, dissolve limiting beliefs, and focus on\u00a0constructive thoughts, feelings, and choices\u00a0that promote self-confidence, free up blocked energy, and\u00a0motivate\u00a0constructive action.<\/p>\n
I record the hypnosis portion of each session and give you copies as audio files. \u00a0Since the mind works according to the Law of Repetition, listening repeatedly to these audios reinforces the hypnotic influence gotten in session, accelerating and strengthening the positive effects.<\/p>\n
Using audio recordings to reinforce what was instilled in session will enable you to:<\/p>\n
If you study these audios when fully conscious, you can also use them as a model of how to hypnotize yourself and implant deep within your subconscious mind other supportive, uplifting ideas, beliefs, attitudes, feelings, and images relevant to your problems and aims.<\/p>\n
While hypnotherapy is not a magic wand or overnight miracle cure, it is a way to achieve positive transformation. No longer the victim of negative unconscious programming that blocks your success, you are free to be your authentic self and live your dreams.<\/p>\n
