Click on the link at the bottom of the page to view a sample list of Hypnotherapy uses.""What exactly is hypnosis?"
"Hypnosis is the state of mind between being wide awake-alert, and being in a very light sleep. Basically we are dealing with the subconscious. I use your conscious desires to change your subconscious actions. Thus making your conscious desires reality.""Who can be hypnotized?"
"Anyone who sleeps (everyone does) and can concentrate can be hypnotized. As a matter of fact the more intelligent and imaginitive a person is the easier they can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is only contraindicated in some individuals with psychological conditions and the very young. The reason for this is their lack of ability to concentrate for a period of time. Also some heart condition clients would not be good candidates to undergo regressive hypnotherapy.""What does hypnosis feel like?"
"Hypnosis is a very relaxed feeling. In most instances you know what is going on around you, unless you are really deep. It feels like you are just ready to fall asleep. That feeling of shutting down and going out at night.""Will I do or say anything weird?"
"No. You will not reveal any secrets, nor do anything that would be against your morals or religious beliefs.""Is hypnosis safe?"
"Yes. Going into hypnosis is as safe as getting into your own bed and falling asleep at night. Suggestive (change) therapy is safe for practically everyone. There are those with some psychological conditions that hypnosis is contraindicated. Also some heart condition patients are not good candidates for regression therapy only. However, they can handle suggestive therapy just fine. I will take a brief history and will tell you right away if you are or are not a good candidate for Hypnotherapy. Most probably you are a great subject to under go hypnosis.""What is regression therapy?"
"Regression therapy is taking one back subconsciously to re-live a past event.""Will I be able to wake up?"
"Most definitely! As I said hypnosis is a natural state between being awake and being asleep. If you do not wake up when I tell you to you will sleep restfully and wake up on your own feeling relaxed and refreshed.""Can you make my husband/wife quit smoking?"
"No. The person who wants to make a change must have the desire and be willing to change; and being willing to under go hypnosis. You nor I cannot make someone do something they do not want to do.""What is the hypnosis process?"
First- There is the client interview at which time we will go over your history. I will administer several evaluations to help determine what techniques will work specifically for you. We go over your new goals and come up with suggestions and ideas that will help change your behavior, or get you the information you are seeking.
Second- I will do what is called an "Induction." You will become very relaxed.
Third- Deepening techniques are used to make you more relaxed than you have ever been.
Fourth- The suggestions we come up with are given.
Fifth- I wake you up.
Lastly we have a post-hypnotic interview . I will make sure you are wide awake, alert, and you are on your way."How many times do I have to do this?"
"This of course depends on you. Most folks will only have one session. Others will have a maximum of three sessions, it depends on how deep seated the persons problem is, and whether they really want to deal with the issues that come to light. No matter what, the first session is to do the bulk of the work. The second session if needed is to see how you have progressed and to make any new changes you may want. The third session is approximately thirty days from the initial visit. This is the final wrap up to make sure you are happy with your change(s). This is the usual format of course some individuals and programs are different. Such as for weight loss this is a six week program, one visit every other week. People of course did not become the way they are over night. Some habits take longer to change even at the subconscious level.""Is hypnotherapy covered under medical insurance?"
"As a matter of fact a lot of insurances do re-imburse the client. A prescription and sometimes a letter of authorization is required. I suggest the client check with their insurance provider prior to coming to see me.""How much will this cost?"
"Well how much are you spending now and how much will you save in the future? The investment is small comparatively speaking. But it will be worth every penny. People are pleasantly surprised what they pay and the benefits they reap. As a matter of fact most wonder why I don't charge more. To be more to the point, lets say you smoked a pack of cigarettes a day multiply that by 30 and considering one session is all it takes that is about how much you will invest in becoming the person you desire to be. Any follow up sessions are at a reduced rate, because as I said the bulk of the work is done in the first session."You probably have many more questions.
