What is Hypnosis?
Did you know that hypnosis may help you get faster relief from severe anxiety?
Defining Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxed concentration. In hypnosis you access your subconscious mind, which contains your creativity, intuition and memory. You're then able to communicate powerful and positive suggestions to your subconscious mind, eliminate destructive patterns and heal old wounds.
You can never be made to do or say anything that goes against your own beliefs. You're awake, aware and in control during the entire hypnosis session.
Hypnosis is a Natural State of Mind
It's similar to driving your car a long distance. As you're driving, you may begin to daydream, or mentally organize your day. You may arrive at your destination, unaware of exactly how you drove there. Hypnosis is much like this day-dreamy state of mind.
What You'll Experience in Hypnosis
First, I'll explain how hypnosis works so that you'll feel completely comfortable with it. The hypnosis process then begins with an easy and gentle form of relaxation to bring you into a state of hypnosis.
Next, you'll be guided effortlessly to make the positive and healing changes that help you to reduce your anxiety. A free hypnosis CD will be made especially for you. During the entire process you'll be awake, aware, and in complete control of yourself at all times. You can NEVER be made to think, feel, or do anything that goes against your will.
How Hypnosis Helps Reduce Anxiety Problems
- You'll be guided into deep, comforting relaxation to calm your nervous mind and body. This teaches you how to relax yourself step by step. I'll make CDs for you to take home and listen to, anytime you wish to reduce anxiety and relax completely.
- You'll mentally rehearse, in a state of deep relaxation, helpful ways of handling old, anxious situations. This reinforces your ability to take control of your life, with greater confidence and strength.
- You'll create powerful new thoughts that support you in managing and mastering anxiety.
- If needed, we'll remove blocks and heal old wounds that stand in the way of you living life with greater self-confidence, optimism, and peace.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HYPNOSIS
- I Have a Strong Will. Can I be Hypnotized?
You'll have more success with hypnosis if you have a strong will! Why? Because in hypnosis you're always in control of yourself. We'll use your strong will to trigger the positive changes you want to make to reduce your anxiety.
Going into the trance state also will be easy for you. Even though I'm guiding you, it's really your strong will that lets you enter a state of hypnosis. And during the entire process, you're awake, aware, and in control of yourself.
- I Have a Hard Time Relaxing. Will Hypnosis Work for Me?
Almost every person who's ever asked this has successfully relaxed and gone into hypnosis when working with me. Often, people have a hard time relaxing on their own, so they don't think they're capable of relaxing. I lead a person systematically, step-by-step, into relaxation.
- Will I Remember Anything About the Hypnosis Session?
Virtually everyone remembers everything about the hypnosis session. You don't go unconscious in a state of hypnosis. You get nice and relaxed, and day-dreamy, and you're aware of what's going on.
- Will I Reveal Embarrassing Secrets About Myself in Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is not a “truth serum.” You don't go unconscious and lose control. You'll never reveal anything that you want to keep to yourself, because you're always in control in hypnosis.
- Will You Make Me Do Crazy Things, Like Quack Like a Duck?
Nothing could be further from the truth! I use hypnosis responsibly, to help you eliminate severe anxiety and create calm, confidence and control over your life.
Stage hypnotists use hypnosis to entertain people. People volunteer to be hypnotized in a stage show. They usually know they're going to be asked to do silly, harmless things on the stage, such as quack like a duck, or sing like Elvis Presley. Still, they're always in control of themselves, and aware of what they're doing.
- I'm Religious, and I've Heard Hypnosis Opens My Mind to Negative Forces. Is This True?
This idea is completely false. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, just like when you're daydreaming, or mentally involved in a task, or absorbed in watching a beautiful sunset. In hypnosis you never lose control over your mind. You're always aware and in charge of yourself during the entire process.
