Hypnotherapy is the process of using hypnosis to interact with the subconscious mind in an open reflective process to create positive change in your life. The client must have a strong desire to change and be willing to submit to a deep state of relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Will I lose control?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

You always have control, and you can always hear what’s going on. Hypnosis is nothing but a state of relaxed deep focus. It is a natural altered state of consciousness that can be deeper than some you already experience. Altered states of consciousness you experience today are falling asleep, meditating\/praying, engaging fully in a movie, sometimes driving and \u201closing time\u201d, focusing intently on a work or school project, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will experience a deep sense of relaxation, drifting in and out in a sleep like state, hearing my voice for guidance in visualization and positive change suggestions. Although you may not recall specifics, you are always in control.<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How many Hypnotherapy sessions do I need?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

This depends on the client and what it is they are trying to change. In addition, there is a singular focus in a session so if the client would like to change more than one thing, then naturally there would be more than one session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Results are dependent upon the client. Their desire to change and engage in the process is key. The results can be subtle so focus on small changes such as a thought that will not seem to leave your mind or a change in your reactions or behaviors.<\/span><\/p>\n

EFT is often referred to as \u201cenergy tapping\u201d. It is a safe and popular energetic healing technique that stimulates acupressure points on the body to eliminate blockages that are causing or contributing to mental, emotional, or physical pain.\u00a0 Watch this YouTube Video<\/a> by founder, Gary Craig.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What should I expect in a session?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

After identifying which EFT technique to use, the practitioner will ask you what success will look like and also ask you to rate your distress\/anxiety\/concern\/etc. of the topic\/emotion. Then they will tap along with you and prompt you to tell them about something or to repeat statements.\u00a0 This is repeated until you feel the emotional connection and blockage is gone.<\/p>\n

Most books and online videos go over the classic or shortcut versions of tapping and does not take advantage of all the tapping points and techniques that may benefit you. In addition, not everyone has knowledge of energy anatomy and physical\/emotional associations that a practitioner has and can leverage for best results. A practitioner can help address issues that a client would have dismissed as a non-issue because the practitioner is not emotionally tied to it.<\/p>\n

Focus is on changing negative self-talk and life narrative to positive self-talk. The premise of this approach is negative self-talk can reflect in a person’s behaviors. (Example: Female client does not respect or think highly of herself, therefore the men she dated didn\u2019t either.)<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does CBM benefit me?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

The goal of CBM is to change a person’s narrative or life story from negative to positive. This is done by focusing on the client’s strengths and resilience. CBM also helps clients forgive themselves for misdoings in the past and move forward with hope and positivity for the future. With a favorable change of perspective and life narrative, a client’s actions and behaviors will expectantly follow suit.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How does Mindful InnerChange use CBM?” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n

CBM is integrated in every client\u2019s custom therapy.\u00a0 It is integrated into the Hypnotherapy scripts, EFM statements, and Homework in order to see immediate change.\u00a0 This is why your first session will have at least 20 mins of talking and exploration and why it is a little extra cost for the first session in order to account for the after work the therapist completes.<\/p>\n
