How I Use Hypnosis
I've been doing the hypnotherapy thing for two years now and I'm ready to build a new kind of work that incorporates all of my mini obsessions. But here is some info about how I've used and will continue approaching hypnosis, if you're curious.
Hypnosis is the state of dropping from Beta brainwaves (awake) through Alpha (relaxed) and into Theta (just before sleep). You are aware and responsive the whole time, just very deeply relaxed. Like a quick cat nap.
I believe the subconscious mind and the body are linked by the nervous system and use body sensations and movement to reinforce the work we do in our hypnotherapy sessions.
I always send customized hypnosis recordings after sessions to be listened to during sleep, they reinforce the work that was done during the session so the subconscious can fully integrate. Sleep is a time of deep rest and repair, might as well include the subconscious mind in this deep work too!
I'm interested in helping you overcome the habits, fears, and blocks by looking at the deeper reason WHY you have these habits, fears, and blocks. We address surface level stuff by looking at the root cause and going deep.
I believe in helping you acclimate to change and growth within the context of your day to day life. Change can happen in a vacuum but it won't stick unless it is integrated in your 3D world with practical application.
I use hypnosis as a method of curiosity, investigation, and re-framing that bypasses the logical thinking brain. This allows us to deconstruct old stories and beliefs at a faster rate than typical, traditional talk therapy. You are the driver and in control the whole time, I am guiding you where you want to go via suggestions. You decide what you want to change, how you want it to change, and what the new belief system will look like.
While there is no widely accepted standard on being Trauma Informed as a coach or hypnotherapist, I adopt and utilize practices as outlined in SAMHSA framework. I understand what trauma can look like; operate under ongoing consent; trust your boundaries; do not force or push; and give you tools for processing at a pace that is comfortable for you. I also recommend that anyone diagnosed with clinical depression, PTSD, or similar conditions also work with a licensed professional who is trained and can prescribe medication if needed during our work together.
