About Hypnosis
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural, conscious & embodied process where the critical mind is relaxed and a gentle yet powerful focus is maintained. Relaxation of the critical mind facilitates communication between the conscious and subconscious levels of mind. This allows the client to journey within to discover deeper truths and let go of old programs no longer serving. The realizations arrived at by the client becomes integrated deeply into the subconscious and express inwardly and outwardly as shifts in one's life. Hypnosis is natural in that it is within everyone's ability to experience this profoundly clear & embodied state of awareness.

What happens during a hypnosis session?
The initial session begins with a thorough interview exploring the client's issues and what is sought. Next we explore a model of the mind, how the focus of our attention functions, how hypnosis works & what is going to follow during the session. Then the client (co-hypnotist) is brought into hypnosis, possibly multiple times in order to strengthen and facilitate an ease of accessing this natural and resource. With this established, hypnotic techniques specific to the needs of the moment are utilized. The client is then trained in self hypnosis, and self-suggestion tools might be given so that the client's therapy can continue on a daily basis until the next appointment (usually within 14 days). Initial sessions average 90.
Following sessions include a review of the client's experience since the last visit, any realizations they may have had, and any roadblocks they encountered. The goal of their visit is again clarified and then the appropriate hypnotic techniques are utilized. Sessions sessions average 90 minutes.
