To minimize risk of exposure to and spread of the COVID-19 virus and COVID-19 variants, I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. Meanwhile, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

Whether you want
to change a behavior to improve your health or you simply want to learn how to
relax, hypnosis is an effective, natural and drug-free tool that facilitates
behavior change by accessing the subconscious mind. However, you must want to change your behavior in order
for hypnotherapy to work.
As I explained
in my blog titled Be
the Author of Your Life, “suggestibility”
is how we communicate and learn. Even though you can be suggestible to many
people, you are most suggestible to yourself. Therefore, I incorporate the
specific words/expressions you used to describe your emotions and
motivations/desire to effect the desired change when I craft your hypnotic
script (suggestions). This means that you will be hypnotizing yourself.
Many people
wonder if hypnosis will really work—and how
it can work—on someone who has a razor-sharp mind and such a strong will (i.e.,
a stubborn streak) like theirs. Even though it is natural to subconsciously
resist the process of becoming hypnotized at first, these initial doubts may
even help to deepen your relaxation and comfort once you enter the hypnotic
trance. However, you will not successfully change your behavior if you do not
want to make this change.
