Therapeutic Hypnosis (Hypnotherapy)
Hypnosis is a completely natural state of consciousness
that we all experience every day. If you ever get completely
absorbed in a good film or a good book, or drive along a
freeway and drift into a day dream you are entering into
a form of natural hypnotic trance. You’re awake and
aware but your conscious mind is distracted.
The use of hypnosis as a therapeutic tool for promoting
behavioral change, healing, and wellness was first recorded
in the ancient civilizations of Egypt and India, but is undoubtedly
as old as humanity. The reason is simple: Hypnosis is completely
natural, safe, painless, and extremely effective. In short,
it works!
All our values, beliefs, emotions, and behavioral patterns
are learned, and reside in the subconscious part of our minds.
When we induce hypnosis in therapy, we gain direct access
to the subconscious (which is naturally suggestible to new
ways of doing things) and in so doing bypass the conscious
mind and the inner critic that makes changing behaviors and
feelings so difficult. We allow ourselves to get “unstuck” in
our ways, to “unlearn” our negative or unwanted
behaviors, emotions, habits or fears, etc, and relearn new
and desirable ones that can help us live a happier more fulfilling
life.
Therapeutic hypnosis is used effectively as either a primary
or adjunctive therapeutic tool for treating over a hundred
behavioral, emotional, medical, and mental health issues,
across a the spectrum of human experience and for both adults
and children. We use it to Stop Smoking, for Weight Control,
to erase Fears and Phobias, enhance Personal Growth, promote
and generate better Health & Wellness, and we use it
for Performance Enhancement at work, at home, and at play.
The possibilities are almost limitless.
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)
To many people the term Neuro-Linguistic
Programming, (NLP), sounds intimidating, esoteric, and maybe
even a little spooky. In reality it is none of these. NLP
is a scientific concept based upon the notion of understanding
our behavioral “models.” Simply
stated, an individual’s behavioral models are a product
of his or her experiences. Through our experiences we develop
a system of values, beliefs, attitudes, memories, and emotions.
These various attributes of personality dwell in in the subconscious
mind and control how we act, react, and interact with other
people and the world— how we model behavior.
All behavior models involve processes, most of them unconscious.
NLP techniques help us understand the unconscious processes
that combine to form your particular behaviors. Once you
know exactly how and why you behave or feel certain ways
in certain situations we can implement changes in your processes
to help you feel and behave in a more positive and desired
way. Using NLP techniques and tools we can help you create
greater—
-
Self-image and confidence
-
Motivation and direction
-
Communication skills
-
Career and professional success
-
Relationships— romantic, personal, and professional
NLP serves as a powerful complement to hypnotherapy and
Timeline Therapy™ in creating positive and lasting
behavioral and emotional changes, helping you on the road
to more vital, happy, and fulfilling life.
Timeline Therapy™
How we live today, how we handle the situations we face,
how we create and pursue our goals and dreams for the future
is all a product of our past. Your core values, attitudes,
beliefs, and emotions— the generators of self image,
behavior, and how you relate to others— are all learned
over time through observation and experience. What if your
links to the past— your values, beliefs, and emotions— are
limiting you, holding you back, keeping you stuck in negative
or undesirable attitudes and behavioral patterns?
Timeline Therapy™ is an exceptionally powerful method
for helping you resolve your issues from the past, gain and
take control of the present, and expand your horizons and
expectations for creating and living a compelling and dynamic
future.
Using Timeline Therapy™ we can actually neutralize
negative emotions relating to your past experiences, emotions
like anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and resentment. We can
eliminate limiting beliefs like, “I’m not good
enough, smart enough, worthy enough, etc.” We can even
do away with fears and phobias, and help you adjust your
core values to coincide with how you want to live, not how
you learned to live.
Each individual has only so much energy. How you spend
yours is important. Timeline Therapy™ can help you
find peace with the past, increase your choices, and set
goals for a compelling, vital future. Timeline Therapy™ is
simple, powerful, and when used either alone or in concert
with other modalities like hypnosis or NLP produces extraordinary
results.
Therapeutic Imagery
Therapeutic Imagery is a natural and powerful modality that
has been in use for at least 20,000 years. It is used to
facilitate healing, change attitudes and behaviors, enhance
performance, and help relieve symptoms associated with both
physical and emotional ailments.
Virtually all behavior, emotion, and your proclivity for
health, and wellness are rooted in the subconscious or unconscious
mind, and the language of the subconscious is a language
of image. For example, if I ask you to think of your mother,
you almost certainly don’t see the letters M O T H
E R in your mind, you instead invoke a mental image or picture
of your mother, followed by whatever emotional response your
mother or the word “mother” triggers in you.
All of that happens automatically, without conscious thought
or logic. Therapeutic imagery allows us to speak to your
unconscious mind in its own language.
There are several forms of therapeutic imagery— Therapeutic Imagery, progressive relaxation, receptive visualization,
and creative visualization. As a certified therapeutic imagery
facilitator I have been trained in using all of these techniques
and integrate them into many of my clients’ therapeutic
programs. Alone or in combination with the other modalities,
particularly hypnosis, therapeutic imagery is an exceptionally
versatile healing tool. It allows clients to completely and
safely explore their deepest issues and tap into their innermost
resources, helping them to align body, mind, and spirit,
the true source of holistic and lasting healing.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques™)
The human mind and body together is in essence an energy
machine; a complex amalgam of electrical, chemical, emotional,
and spiritual energies, all combined to form the remarkable
organism we know as a human being.
EFT is in some ways a cousin of acupuncture and kinesiology. It
comprises a methodology of tapping patterns along certain
key energy points on the body to unblock and redirect the
flow of energy back to a natural and healthy state. Using
EFT can result in significant (sometimes almost instantaneous)
relief from a wide variety of acute and chronic physical,
emotional, and spiritual discomforts— from fear, anxiety,
and panic to allergic reactions and chronic pain. EFT is
so simple and so effective that sometimes the results seem
unbelievable. Yet as we all know, seeing is believing.
The possible applications for EFT are almost limitless,
and its healing effects are sometimes nothing short of miraculous.
