I am continuing to suspend in-person hypnotherapy sessions with me in my office. However, phone, and Zoom consultations ARE and WILL REMAIN AVAILABLE!

I use Corrective Therapy to help to identify the
subconscious cause or root of my client's hypnotherapy goal. In this cognitive
technique, I have the person write five or six sentences about what he or she
wants to accomplish through hypnotherapy and replace each word (or group of
words) with a relevant synonym (subconscious symbolism).
The intention of this technique is to identify the true goal of the
therapy as it exists in the client’s subconscious mind. The process or format
of each of these sentences will depend on his or her suggestibility
(Emotional versus Physical). To start, the person writes the sentence with each
word the head of its own “column.” As the client writes each new sentence, the Physical
Suggestible client will provide synonyms to replace each word in the original
sentence; the Emotional Suggestible client will provide a synonym or metaphor/association
for each word in the previous sentence.
Consider the following example for a client who comes in for
hypnotherapy with the following stated goal: I want to lose weight. A Physical Suggestible client might
choose the following synonyms to replace the original word or phrase for
this goal in follow-up sentences:
|
I |
Want |
to lose |
weight |
|
Me (I) ↑ |
desire (want) |
to drop (to lose) |
pounds (weight) |
|
(client’s) name (I)
|
need (want) |
to take off (to
lose) |
inches (weight) |
|
Man/Woman (I) |
have to (want) |
release (to lose) |
body mass (weight) |
|
Person (I) |
must (want) |
let go of (to lose) |
size (weight) |
When an Emotional Suggestible client chooses replacement words to
express the goal, this individual will be replacing the word from the previous
sentence with a new synonym/association. The word or phrase in parentheses
indicates the term that has been replaced.
|
I |
Want |
to lose |
weight |
|
Woman/man (I) |
need (want) |
relinquish (to
lose) |
pounds (weight) |
|
Sister/Brother (woman/man) |
want (need) |
missing (to lose) |
obesity (pounds) |
|
Daughter/son (sister/brother) |
rejection (want) |
lacking (missing) |
ugly (obesity) |
|
Husband/Wife (daughter/son) |
isolation (rejection) |
deficit (lacking) |
lonely (ugly) |
I employ Corrective Therapy during the cognitive (alert) portion of the hypnotherapy to
discover any underlying, subconscious motivation(s) behind the person’s
unwanted behaviors that may be preventing the desired behavior change. One
benefit of this technique is that it is very visceral: the person can literally
read the story about how the origins or basis of this subconscious resistance
evolve while writing the responses to each question (ideomotor
response). Once the issue is revealed, I will discuss it with the client in
terms of his or her beliefs and feelings about the problem/conflict and create strategies
to change unwanted behaviors and accomplish this goal. When the person is in
hypnosis, I incorporate specific suggestions in his or her hypnotic
script to help the person implement these new beliefs or behaviors to help
actualize this self-improvement goal.
