Hypnotherapy

What Is Hypnosis?

hypnosis image Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness brought about by deep relaxation and focus away from the external world. In a hypnotic state you have a heightened receptivity to new perspectives and ideas. A hypnotist uses this heightened receptivity to help you achieve the lasting changes you desire. She achieves this by interjecting key information (supplied by you) directly to your subconscious mind while you are in the hypnotic state. In hypnosis you do not lose control. Instead you experience the greatest amount of control you have ever experienced in your life!.

How does hypnosis differ from hypnotherapy?

They are exactly the same except that hypnotherapy addresses the mind's influence over bodily process to impact specific medical diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, pain, or any other medical diagnosis you may have. This is such a powerful form of therapy that the State of Florida requires a referral from your healthcare practitioner to receive treatment from a hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy allows you to become the architect of your own health and wellness, experiencing a greater amount of control over your life than you have ever experienced before.

How can I prepare for my session to maximize my success?

Avoid caffeine prior to your session
Make sure you are coming on your own volition and not due to pressure from someone else
Do an honest assessment and determine that you are ready to do what it takes to change.e

***Is there anyone for whom hypnosis* *is not appropriate?***

I need to communicate with your physician if you have multiple complicated medical problems.
Those experiencing emotional or mental instability are not appropriate for hypnotherapy.
Those who have an extreme need to remain in control at all times need to accept that hypnosis actually helps you to be more in control of your life than you ever have been so that you can truly relax and enjoy the process.

All these factors should come to light during our phone conversation. If it is not feel appropriate to me to continue, I will be honest and let you know.

How many sessions will I need and how often?
