“Even if you’ve never undergone hypnotherapy, chances are you’ve experienced this state yourself. “It’s like getting so caught up in a good movie that you forget you’re watching a movie, and you enter the imagined world,” said Dr. David Spiegel, a psychiatrist and the medical director of Stanford University’s Center for Integrative Medicine.
You know why you're reading this blog…and before you read a lot more facts and information, start with asking yourself:
How will you feel if “this problem” is the same next year?
Really get a picture in your mind about continuing the path of your current thinking, and your actions. In your mind, see the way you feel, see the long term losses. It is sometimes called the “the certain probably future” if nothing changes.
With that picture in mind, “the certain probable future” ask yourself:
Is this future acceptable? Am I happy? Do I want that life?
If your answer is a resounding “NO!”, you’re at the right place.
Next quick question: How much better will things be when you make the changes you’re thinking about?
Seriously think about, imagine how your life will benefit, how you’ll look and feel?
As a hypnotist, I’m accustomed to helping people make important changes in their lives. But just like a teacher can’t make a student learn something, a hypnotist, no matter how skilled, can’t make people change. The good news is that since YOU REALLY WANT a different response to life hypnosis is supported by the scientific community, backed by neuroscience, and will allow rapid changes to the mind and the body!
Great news, eh?
Hypnosis works with your subconscious mind—that part of your mind that works with habits, emotions, creativity, intuition and the autonomic nervous system. It helps you get to the heart of the matter and make change more easily and quickly.
Hypnosis takes learning from conscious trying to unconscious doing!
Would you rather:
- Consciously try to feel positively (then feel guilty if you don't) or subconsciously learn to naturally be positive?
- Consciously try to drive, listen to the kids, and follow directions, or subconsciously learn to automate driving and reaction times?
- Consciously try to eat healthy & exercise regularly, or subconsciously learn and internalize your choices and activities?
- And more…
Studies that are mentioned in articles such as this one in New York Magazine, (Nov. 21, 2016) “Has Hypnosis Finally Been Vindicated By Neuroscience?”, indicate that the brain goes through measurable shifts and changes while in hypnosis, just like meditation...
Back in 2010, Psychology Today published an article entitled “Hypnosis: An Underused Technique” that encouraged psychiatrists to become trained in hypnosis for therapeutic use. The author (an M.D. and psychotherapist) stated that:
Hypnosis can help patients working on issues such as smoking cessation, weight control, nail-biting, phobia mastery, insomnia, anxiety, including PTSD, poor sexual function, obsessive thinking, and stress-related problems that might be rooted in such physical problems as hypertension, headache, or chronic pain problems. Hypnosis can be an effective aid in treating these problems.
Now it’s your turn to ask the questions...book a call and ask me your questions.
