Hypnotherapy

What is hypnotherapy? How is it done? A typical hypnotherapy session?

Hypnotherapy facilitates the subconscious, as well as internal awareness that can be useful in facilitating inner experimental learning and aiding in automatic changes. A level beyond an individual’s conscious state of awareness is explored to assist in a variety of psychological and physical difficulties, therefore facilitating wellness. I utilize Milton H. Erickson’s hypnotherapy approach to facilitate aspects of the individual’s behavior, and physiological and perceptual processes. I facilitate the individual’s internal and external attention in a creative and flexible manner. This is utilized to enter into the individual’s system as part of their process in discovering their own solutions to the problems they are encountering. The goal is to facilitate change in aspects of behavior, sensory experiences, and conscious experiences. This may include extended experiences beyond the individual’s conscious state that can influence how individuals feel and move about their world.

The therapy process involves:

• The therapist assists the client towards a trance or meditative state.

• The therapist initiates movement and change by bringing forward aspects of prior and present psychotherapy sessions, moving into a more attentive awareness, and facilitating movement towards something different.

• The process is through experience and insight.

• Individuals are active in working toward change in their perception, cognition, emotions, and behavior.

• The therapist utilizes an individual's perceptions, resources, and promotes meaning.

• The goal of therapy is future oriented, to facilitate something different.
