ABOUT HYPNOSIS
What is Hypnotism & how does it work ?
Hypnotism is a technique that accesses and works through the processes of the subconscious mind to facilitate habit transformation. In the hypnotist's model, the mind is made up of two parts, the conscious (critical/analytical thought) and the larger subconscious (habitual/emotional/autonomic processes). Hypnotism is a process that bypasses or reduces the conscious mind processes while bringing the subconscious mind's processes closer to the level of awareness and interaction. The hypnotic trance state is a state of deeply focused relaxation. While in the hypnotic trance state, habits, outdated behaviors and subconscious beliefs can be transformed through suggestion and inner healing processes. This is done with the use of imagination, emotion, memory, creativity, intuition, and energy work. Focused relaxation and visualization can also effect the physical functioning of the body in many positive ways. Through a series of hypnosis sessions and initiation of self-hypnosis practice, clients are empowered to create positive and lasting personal transformation.

Will I be able to be hypnotized?
Most people are able to be hypnotized, though the depth will vary. All hypnosis is essentially self hypnosis and an experience you give permission to occur. This permission is supported when there is a sense of trust and rapport. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and safe, thereby easing any possible hypnotic resistance.
What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
In hypnosis you may feel like you do just before you wake up fully and are remembering a dream. Sometimes while listening to music, watching television or driving we become deeply absorbed in our mind and may lose track of where we are - hypnosis can feel like that. It is typically a very relaxing experience.

How many sessions will it take?
I recommend a minimum commitment of four sessions to begin with for most issues. The sessions are scheduled once a week, though for smoking cessation and some other circumstances it can be multiple sessions per week.
However, due to the personal nature of this work, the number of sessions is dependent on your needs. Clients that have positive results may choose to do additional sessions for deeper reinforcement, to continue healing processes or just for maintenance 'tune ups'.

What is Self-Hypnosis?
In the process of letting go of old habits and creating new ones, self-hypnosis is an activity that can help support you between sessions and after sessions are completed. Self hypnosis can be as simple as remembering to breathe, consciously releasing tension or repeating a positive reminder to yourself. Self-hypnosis is similar to meditation which I encourage as well to reinforce presence of mind. All hypnosis clients receive a Meditation and Self-Hypnosis CD.
