The Gentle Use of Power
Hypnotherapy
Clinical Hypnotherapy offers an amazing variety of assistance for all sorts of issues. First of all, for individuals experiencing stress, the trance state gives the person the opportunity to drop out of their conscious mind chatter into a serene state of relaxation. It is said that if the body is free of stress it can often heal it self. So, removing stress by hypnotherapy is a very important first step toward healing. Also stress is known to accentuate negative symptoms in the body.
Once a person is in an altered state of awareness many other issues can be addressed and positive suggestions can be implanted in the subconscious for future action.
Unlike stage hypnosis, clinical hypnotherapy creates a feeling in the client very similar to the experience of driving a familiar route to work. During the drive your mind is usually elsewhere but, if a car swerves into your lane, you can snap into consciousness and take the necessary action needed. It is the state of the conscious mind drifting while still having an awareness of being partially present.
Once relaxation is accomplished hypnotherapy can be used to address
a myriad of conditions. Details of treatment guidelines are given below the following list.
Addictions such as: alcohol, drugs, foods, gambling, etc.
Habits such as: weight control, non smoking, thumb sucking, bed wetting, worrying, need to control
Health Problems: I often like to work in conjunction with your physician if you are experiencing serious health issues. Some drugs have negative
side effects.
Performance enchancement such as improved learning, athletic performance, increased creativity, achieving success
Phobias such as: fear of heights, fear of animals, fear of flying, fear of public speaking, fear of crowds. Statistically 1in 9 people has a phobia and 1in 20 has agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house).

APPROACHES TO THE ABOVE CONDITIONS :
With habit control and addictions it is useful to note when, where and why a person exhibits the behavior and establish alternative solutions. A CD is prepared addressing the person’s issues and new solutions which can be played daily as a reminder of changing thought patterns from the old to the new. Often four or more sessions are recommended in addressing habit change.
It is also important to review the person’s programming and patterns of behavior of family members. We often create coping mechanisms to deal with issues from childhood.
===========
Health Problems can be inherited, from our environment, from accidents, from others, created as a coping mechanism, learned, or out of the blue with no explanation.
The first step is a medical history and, if appropriate, a conversation with or letter from the primary care physician outlining drugs prescribed and treatment. Next, a clear description of the symptoms and where in the body they occur. It is extremely important to become friendly with the body’s discomfort rather than judgmental and angry. Hypnotherapy can guide you on a journey through your body gathering information and offering assistance to those areas in pain.
It is important to notice if there is a way in which the condition has served a purpose (such as not being able to work at a job you disliked, a sense of being taken care of, a way of retreating from life). All the facts are friendly.
It is important to establish powerfully that YOU ARE NOT your PAIN . You are a spirit in a body which is experiencing pain. You are in control as to how to respond. Feeling powerful rather than fearful is a huge factor in releasing and healing pain.
===========
With phobias it is important to address the symptoms. Often it is helpful to do an age regression to determine the origin of the behavior. Sometimes healing of the inner child is appropriate and learning how to support the aspect of you which is fearful. Customized CD’s are made regarding suggestions and procedures to create change.
===========
Performance enhancement support is offered by clearing sub conscious
beliefs which block success ( such as: not good enough, dumb, fear of failure, etc.) Customized CD’s reinforce the new beliefs regarding your ability to succeed.
==========
Self Confidence and Self Esteem issues are often based from life experiences in childhood, adolescence, or as adults. It’s important to track back and be aware when these feelings surfaced. Hypnotherapy can be beneficial in changing your awareness of the past and creating a different past which enables you to see yourself differently. Age regression is often helpful as well are recreating a background in which you were loved and valued.

JOURNEYS
One of the wonderful services that Hypnotherapy offers is the ability to travel without your body. In a trance state you can visit a protected magical environment in which you can consult with a special guide who has information for you.
You can have a guide who will take you to visit different archetypes. In this work it is very important to be guided carefully so that you only connect with energies that are positive and of the light. There are ways of verifying if a guide or archetype is truly who they say they are. There are rules just as there are if you are visiting a foreign country. It is important to follow certain guidelines to remain safe. It is a very empowering and exhilarating experience to travel to other realms.
PAST LIFE REGRESSION
Past Life Regressions are a useful source of information. They often contain experiences which explain what you have chosen to create in your present life based on past life history. You are guided into a trance state and given guidelines as to how to access a life which will give you important information regarding your present life. From that point on you simply talk about what you are experiencing. I may ask an occasional question such as: “Is that woman anyone who is in your present life?” You will be able to respond clearly. I complete the regression by suggesting you come to the end of that life and see yourself as though viewing it on a movie screen. I then ask that you do a life review noting what you learned, how you feel about that life and what you would like to create in your next life.
All of this is given to you at the end of the session in either written, taped or CD format. This experience is a wonderful gift to offer a friend or relative. Gift Certificates are available.
