Hypnosis

Hypnotherapy, the practice of using hypnosis for pain management or mental, emotional, and physical therapy, is often misunderstood. Some people fear it or view it with skepticism at best.

Many people do not realize that hypnosis has been developed over hundreds of years, that its effectiveness is supported by numerous scientific studies, and that it has been used during the past century by many reputable, conventional medical professionals, including the Mayo brothers!

Sometimes it's easier to explain hypnosis by describing what it is not!

       It is not sleep.  It is not unconsciousness.  It is not giving up control.

When you are in a hypnotherapy session, I guide you into a deep state of relaxation, a mental space in which we can work together on your chosen issues, but it is up to you how far into hypnosis you will go. I can only guide you; I cannot force you into hypnosis.

You will remain aware or yourself and of what I am saying while you are under hypnosis. However, you will be so relaxed that you will probably lose the desire to move or pay attention to anything else but what we are working on during our session.

While you are under hypnosis, you can accept or reject anything that I say. If I say something that is in line with your beliefs or desires, then you may accept it, but if I tell you something that seems unacceptable to you, you can reject it. Hypnosis cannot be used to brainwash you, since you are ultimately the master of your own mind.

In layman’s terms, hypnosis is the clinical use of the power of positive thinking to correct and heal mental, physical, and emotional issues, according to your personal expectations.

Scientifically speaking, hypnosis is a method of a mental programming.  To be more precise, it is an altered state of highly focused consciousness in which the conscious or aware mind is bypassed and the subconscious mind (below conscious perception) is directly accessed.

The subconscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind.  It is the seat of all of your stored experiences and knowledge, and through it you can access memories, emotions, and events suppressed or repressed by your conscious mind.  In fact, your subconscious mind can reveal facts and information that you might think you’ve lost, revealing the root cause of feelings, behaviours, and attitudes. These, in turn, can be strengthened, modified or eliminated according to your needs.

I have noticed that I have tremendous success helping people who are dealing with job loss and career changes, nail biters who want to drop the habit, and women trying to overcome menstrual problems, which might include menstruation-related pain.

I also help people improve their low self-esteem, overcome eating disorders, or I aid them in addiction treatment (such as alcoholism).

These are just a few of the many issues that you can successfully work through in hypnosis. Since the connection between the mind and body is extremely powerful (and vital), any number of problems, physical or mental, can be addressed with hypnotherapy.

Hypnosis has even been known to help people overcome problems such as infertility or insomnia, things that seem more like physical problems than mental ones; however, since the brain is the center for creating signals of health or pain, hypnosis is highly relevant when treating physical issues.

Hypnosis is most helpful when you have difficulty changing a habit or gaining access to the part of your memory you normally don’t have access to.  Hypnosis can help you stop smoking, lose weight, overcome fears, or reverse mental and physical problems.  It can help you see how negative habits have been drawn into your life, and how you can change them.

If you have a habit or a phobia which you’d like to be free of, hypnotherapy is a good, scientifically backed way of treating it.

You can also use it to deal with problems relating to interpersonal relationships, anger, stress, anxiety, nail biting, and much more.  You can learn faster, advance your career, improve athletic performance, manage pain, or succeed in sales, all using the powerful tool of hypnosis-induced self-persuasion.  The list of possibilities for hypnotherapy truly is endless.

I can also teach you the secrets of self-hypnosis so that you not only progress on your own, but you may continue to create and experience dramatic results, too.

The Impact of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is helpful when you are having difficulty changing negative behaviours or accessing specific areas of your conscious and or subconscious.

Gaining that access can generate tremendous impact on one's life. It's important to understand that using hypnosis can help you stop smoking, lose weight, or handle whatever fears and phobias are troubling you, because under hypnosis you convince yourself that you can achieve the results that you desire.

Additionally, when hypnosis is used for memory regression, it is life-changing to explore how and why past relationships or lifetimes relate to your present day acquaintances - both positively and negatively. 

The Effectiveness of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is particularly helpful when you’re having difficulty changing negative attitudes or behaviours, or can’t access your conscious or subconscious mind.

Gaining access to different levels of your consciousness can impact your life tremendously. 

The American Medical Association (AMA) has recognized hypnosis as a beneficial treatment for well over four decades. In a review of literature published in Psychotherapy magazine (Volume 7, Number 1, Alfred A Barrios, PhD) various techniques were profiled.

Success rates with lasting results:

     * hypnosis—93% after six sessions

     * behaviour therapy—72% after 22 sessions

     * psychotherapy—38% after 699 sessions!
