Hypnotherapy

About Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis. In hypnosis we use deep levels of relaxation & high levels of focused concentration & attention to create an altered & heightened state of awareness in order to access your subconscious mind. In hypnotherapy, we then use this heightened state of awareness to turn the focus more inward, working to change the “faulty” perceptions within the subconscious mind, which in turn will change the “faulty” beliefs & behaviors that mirrored those perceptions.

Hypnosis is a trance-like state similar to sleep or similar to being on “auto-pilot” during daily activities. Contrary to what you see during a stage hypnosis show, when in therapeutic hypnosis you are fully awake, fully aware & fully in control. The heightened state of awareness is created by detaching the mind from the external to focus on the problem at hand & then focusing inward for the solution. Utilizing this state allows you to make changes or regain control of certain areas in your life.

Hypnotherapy works by transforming the programming that has been embedded in the subconscious mind (where 90-95% of your consciousness operates from); transforming old thoughts, patterns, beliefs & behaviors & guiding you into a new mental state & way of being so that you are now running on newly updated software to live the life you desire. As Wayne Dyer said, “Change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” By changing the programming that no longer serves you & gaining new perspectives you can change your life. To achieve this desired state, I use guided imagery, memory recall, increased suggestibility, repetition & a transformative process (which I call “A Return to Love Method℠) to heal events, stories, relationships & traumas of the past in order to transmute the old subconscious programming into beliefs & behaviors that support your goals & create positive lasting change.

My Process

Before every hypnotherapy session we do a thorough intake to determine where you are at, where you want to be, & what hypnotherapy method is the best for your current circumstance. When you are comfortable & ready to start the session, I use a variety of techniques, including direct suggestion, guided imagery & guided meditation to get you into a very relaxed trance-like state. This state allows you to detach from any external distractions so that you can direct all of your attention & heightened state of consciousness on what you would like to transform. Once you are in this state, I continue with the method that we chose for your session. It is important to note that I am the facilitator in the process, helping you to get into your subconscious mind which contains all of the answers to your questions. We then go into a transformative process which I call “A Return to Love Method℠” to shift the perceptions that have clouded your mind. We work to heal whatever comes up such as a broken relationship, trauma, as well as faulty beliefs & behaviors at the subconscious level. Once these flawed perceptions & blocks are transformed you can be awakened to the truth of who you are; perfect, whole & complete. Once you get to the wholeness of who you truly are, you are awakened by love’s presence, helping to metamorphose your everyday conscious awareness.
