future self hypnosis sessions are about deciding who you want to be, what you want your future to look like, and then use hypnosis to remove the blocks that will stop you from getting there. It's truly remarkable!

Talk therapy focuses on cognitive processes while hypnosis focuses on changing behavior in the subconscious mind. Hypnosis sessions include cognitive dialogue followed by hypnosis. This will be the part where a client either lays down or sits back, eyes closed, and follows along with the hypnosis practitioner’s guided imagery. Treatment is typically short-term, lasting between 3 and 15 sessions compared to weekly talk therapy sessions that can span from months to years. Hypnosis seeks to target the subconscious root cause of the presenting issue to integrate transformation quickly. Both hypnosis and traditional psychotherapy support lifelong behavior change. A hypnosis practitioner will request a medical referral for presenting issues with a medical etiology because they do not diagnose or treat medical conditions or psychological disorders. Nor do they prescribe or suggest medication.

The subconscious mind is like the soil of a garden, whatever the conscious mind plants there grows – whether it be weeds or flowers. It’s where we keep our behaviors, beliefs, emotions, imagination, intuition, and memories. It makes up 90% of our brain, which is why it can be easy to get stuck in what is no longer serving us.

Most of our issues stem from the mind, or involve it in some way whether psychological, physiological, or spiritual. There’s a wide array of reasons why people seek out hypnotherapy:

• Allergies • Analgesic/Sedation for Medical and Dental Procedures • Anxiety • Anger Management • Artists Block • Asthma • Athletic Performance • Autoimmune Symptoms • Bedwetting • Boredom • Blood Pressure Issues • Breaking Bad Habits • Career Enhancement • Chemotherapy Side Effects • Clarity and Purpose • Confidence • Courage • Creative Expansion • Depression • Emotional Release • Fears and Phobias • Fertility and Childbirth • Grief and Loss • Gut Health and IBS • Habit Integration • Heartbreak • Impotence • Manifestation • Memory, Focus, and Rapid Learning • Motivation • OCD and Perfectionism • Pain Reduction • Past Life Regression and Accessing the Past • Performance Anxiety • Pessimism • Psychoactive Experience Integration • PTSD/CPTSD • Rapid Healing and Inflammation Reduction • Relationship Improvement • Release Bad Habits, Behavioral Patterns, and Addictions • Self-Sabotage • Sexual Dysfunction and Satisfaction • Sleep Disorders • Smoking Cessation • Stress • Test Anxiety • Weight Loss and Body Image • Writer’s Block

Our ability to imagine influences everything we do, as the subconscious mind cannot distinguish fantasy from fiction. That’s why we cry during a sad movie, even though we know it's not real. When we focus our imagination on what we want, we are using imagery to bring it to life. Imagery is utilized during hypnosis to support clients desired outcome, improving their livelihood, wellbeing, and reaching personal goals. Imagery strengthens harmony between the body and mind and has been referred to as “medicine for the imagination.”

The goal of hypnosis is to rapidly create positive change for a person. Each hypnosis session leaves a person feeling optimistic and refreshed.

I believe most people are hypnotizable because hypnosis is a hidden ability of the mind. We go into hypnosis multiple times a day without realizing: During our morning routines, while scrolling through social media, when we are emotionally triggered, doing what we love, and falling asleep. Hypnosis is experienced on a spectrum; everyone has their own unique experience. For some, it’s an analytical state of focus while others experience all-encompassing visualizations and amnesia. Like meditations, you are in control the entire time.

Stage hypnosis is a sensationalized version solely meant to entertain. This kind of trance does not work on everybody. I do NOT practice stage hypnosis, only hypnosis for transformation. 

I recommend to have your journal handy. You may have aha's, insights and new beliefs that you are going to be writing down during the first part of the session.  The second part of the session will be the actual hypnosis session.  You will also have time to use the bathroom before we start the hypnosis session.  :)  

HOW TO PREPARE 

‣ Safe and comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed

‣ A Blanket -People tend to get cold when they are not moving

‣ Headphones

‣ Do not disturb sign on the door if necessary

‣ Pets in the room optional

WHAT TO EXPECT 

1. Relax, nothing crazy is going to happen. The hypnotic demonstrations you may have seen at the fair or in the movies do not resemble what goes on in a private or group session for Personal Transformation.  There would be no reason on earth for me to try and make you do anything silly or embarrassing in this setting.  You will be awake and in control the entire time.
2. Realize there are different ways people feel when hypnotized. While some people go into a profound state of deep relaxation during hypnosis, others experience it more subtly where it feels more like daydreaming.
3. Decide to go with the flow.  Many potential clients have a fear that somehow they will mess up the process.  Relax, follow my directions and allow yourself to go with the flow.  

Hypnosis and meditation are in some ways very similar experiences of consciousness. Meditation is the practice of clearing the mind, while hypnosis—when used intentionally—is the practice of focusing your thoughts on a singular goal. A person does not slip into a state of meditation like hypnosis, but depending on the amorphous definition, one can shift between the two. In meditation, a person may focus on their breath or a mantra for the purpose of clearing the mind of busy thoughts. The goal of hypnosis is to use one’s imagination to focus on new possibilities and thoughts to create a desired change. While meditation and hypnosis have different intentions, they are similar in how they create mind and body coherence, activate our parasympathetic response, and empower a person to feel good.

Guided hypnosis is not recommended for people with multiple personality disorder, hallucinations, or those under the influence of drugs/alcohol.
