Hypnotherapy & NLP - Neurolinguistic Programming

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility, aiming to address various issues like stress, anxiety, pain management, etc. This treatment should be administered by a trained practitioner who is skilled in guiding the client into a light hypnotic state using relaxation techniques and verbal suggestions. The practitioner then uses targeted suggestions to address specific issues.

I have been fortunate enough to train through Mindvalley's Hypnotherapy Certification Program, directly and real time with Paul McKenna, the acclaimed British hypnotist and self-help author. I am certified under Paul's hypnotherapy technique which involves a rapid approach using conversational hypnosis and accelerated learning principles to quickly help clients achieve desired changes and become unstuck. This specific technique is very effective for issues like:

• Decreasing anxiety
• Weight management
• Overcoming phobias
• Building self-confidence
• Creating and maintaining healthy habits 

The technique often incorporates elements of NLP - Neurolinguistic, Programming, and Ericksonian Hypnosis. Both of these methods aim to change behavior and thought patterns by accessing the subconscious mind. NLP is described below. Ericksonian Hypnosis was developed by Milton Erickson in the 1950's and is an indirect and permissive form of hypnosis which uses conversational techniques and metaphors to bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious. 

NLP - Neurolinguistic Programming

NLP or Neuro-Linguistic Programming, is a communication and personal development approach that focuses on understanding and changing patterns of thought and behavior. It is often used to:

• Improve communication
• Achieve Personal goals
• Reframe challenging thought processes to achieve a more optimistic view

NLP is a communication and Psychotherapy approach that focuses on understanding and changing patterns of thought and behavior. It proposes that by understanding how people organize their thoughts, feelings and actions, that one can learn to modify them. NLP is typically administered through various techniques, including verbal, communication modeling, and visualizations. A trained practitioner works with clients to identify their patterns and guide them to make desired changes.  

What to Expect

For Initial Hypnotherapy & NLP Visits

First, we'll have a fifteen-minute consultation session (performed at least one day prior to the full appointment). During this brief session, we'll ensure that we resonate well together and that you are ready, willing and excited to change and release your stuck experiences and stories. We'll also put solid words to your goals.

The second part - where the magic happens! We'll embark on a one-hour session where I'll assist you to address your pre-defined goals and will help facilitate healing so you can finally become unstuck. This session will allow for the reprogramming of your less than optimal nervous system responses, which are manifesting as stuckness or phobias. During the session, your brain will effortlessly build new, more optimal neural pathways. This transformational hour will enable you to achieve a more happy, healthy, fully abundant state of being. Your stuck loops and phobias will become a thing of the past.

The third part will be a twenty minute follow-up appointment where we touch base, polish up any outstanding issues from our previous session and ensure you've achieved success.
