TRAUMA INFORMED HYPNOTHERAPY
What is stopping you from achieving the results you want (by yourself)?
Our aim is the capacity and willingness to cultivate the highest possible level of awareness regarding our personal, social and spiritual purpose for being here, and to live with intentionality and in accordance with that awareness. The development of higher Consciousness or awareness creates a capacity for enhanced decision-making and resourcing in our lives, which in turn supports the aim of all helping profession activity—empowerment.

MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND RELATIONAL PAIN IS AN EPIDEMIC.
LONELINESS IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH;
BUT A SECRET SOLUTION IS HIDDEN DEEP INSIDE US ALL:
No Therapy, Brainspotting, or Hypnotherapy will work or be successful unless the client wants it to be. As much as they are willing to buy into the process and own their participation in the process is the degree to which they will experience change and a better life. Any coercion or pressure by the therapist will only create resistance, so there must be a strong therapeutic bond of trust and a safe, nonjudgmental environment in which the client can become vulnerable, let down their defenses, and experience something different than what they have always experienced, a new and better way.
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Do not believe that you can come to counseling for one hour a week or every two weeks… (while having 167 hours a week outside of the session for you to enact and practice faithfully those things you learned in session). If you do not consistently work on change outside of the session you will accomplish nothing and your lifestyle will NOT change. You will simply be deceiving yourself and wasting my time (and your $). I have limited years remaining and want to invest my time and talents in those who do not take it for granted. As you review this website you will discover I am a very unconventional kind of counselor. If you want traditional counseling please go to one of the many cookie-cutter counselors offered in your area. I cannot want a better/healthier life for you than you do and be successful at treating you. We HAVE to work together - collaboratively.

Why mess with my unconscious? Don’t worry you are fully awake and aware during the entire process. I will not make you “cluck” like a chicken. The process works best according to the trust and rapport between therapist and client. Now to answer the question…why hypnosis? Our unconscious runs about 90% of what we routinely do everyday, most of it is done out of our conscious awareness. The mind is much more than the just the biological brain - (1st Order change & 2nd Order change).
Why clinical hypnosis?
What is clinical hypnosis? It's really the process of guiding patients into an absorbed, focused mental and physical state that is usually peaceful and relaxing. When we're in this kind of state, it enhances our ability to respond to therapeutic suggestions. But it's not as if the patient sits there in a passive state while we drill suggestions into their mind. That's not how it works at all.
You're going to learn that hypnosis is really a collaborative process between the therapist and the client and that we're going to be drawing on the client's inner resources, strength, and imagination and co-create suggestions together that they would like.
Hypnosis has been used for mental health issues. It's been used to successfully treat depression, anxiety, trauma, which is one of my specialties, sleep issues, and even habit and substance use disorders. For medical issues, hypnosis has successfully been used to treat high blood pressure, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic pain, cancer pain and nausea, allergies and asthma, and even skin problems.
Hypnosis has also been shown to augment healing. It's been used in Europe for years and is still used in the hospitals there. Researchers have found hypnosis can shorten hospital stays, reduce blood loss during surgery, reduce stress associated with medical procedures, and accelerate wound and tissue healing. Hypnosis also falls into the VHA’s Whole Health System of Care under the category “Power of the Mind to facilitate relaxation and healing,” in the Circle of Health diagram.
