Therapeutic hypnosis is used to help people deal with medical issues* and the accompanying anxiety, stress, fear, and pain, or to improve in various activities, such as performance arts, sports, or public speaking.
I need to understand your specific challenges and beliefs, in order to design a hypnosis program that is customized and will address your unique situation so we will have already had a consultation but every session will start with an overview so that any necessary adjustments can be made.
1:1 sessions are typically conducted over Zoom, allowing the client to be in a familiar, comfortable, setting which further enhances the effectiveness of the session.
This is a partial list of medical conditions where hypnosis has been found potentially beneficial:
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Migraine and tension headaches
Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Asthma
Eczema and other skin conditions
High blood pressure
Insomnia and other sleep disorders
Please note that hypnosis is a complementary treatment and should be used in conjunction with conventional medical treatment. I only work with clients who understand this and give their written consent for me to consult with their physician.
Hypnosis techniques can be effective in all sorts of situations including but not limited to:
Reducing or eliminating unwanted habits (smoking, nail-biting...)
Adopting or improving wanted habits (study, exercise...)
Decreasing situational anxiety (test-taking, public- speaking...)
Improving general confidence and self-esteem
Improving time management
Enhancing Athletic or Arts Performance
Decreasing the importance of bad memories
It is important to note that I view all work with the mind to fall under the category of medical treatment and I only work with clients who understand this and give their written consent for me to consult with their primary physician if necessary.
