Are you going to make me cluck like a chicken?

Are you going to turn me into a sexual deviant?

Are you going to make me do something gross?

WHAT!!!! ARe you kidding me? Why would I do that?

As a Hypnotherapist, I am asked a lot of questions just like those above. It seems that Stage Hypnosis and Therapuetic Hypnosis have become entwined in the public's mind as one and the same thing.

How would turning you into a chicken be helpful I ask back? The types of clients I would see might be those who wish to overcome fear, phobia, make behaviourial changes like stop smoking. They might also be interested in Past LIfe Regressions or Age regression to find something that is lost.. like a memory or something more tangible.

Hypnosis is not about making a client Do STUFF. I can't make a client do ANYTHING they don't want to. IN fact, their participation is necessary to the process. I am the facilitator but the client is the one who 'allows' the process to take place in the first place. I help relax the client, but they are the ones who do the real work. They must allow themselves to relax and accpet the changes that they say they want or need.

I have many tools at my disposal to assist a client in overcoming their critical conscious mind, but I can't actually force them to do anything. Any time a client wants to come out of trance, they can. They can hear and listen to everything that is being said and STILL be in hypnosis or a state of trance.

Every time you get in your car and drive, you are in a state of trance. If you are driving your car and thinking about the office, the chores you have to do today or ANYTHING other than the road in front of you, you are in a state of trance. You are aware of what is going on around you, yet your mind is somewhere else. WELCOME to the world of Hypnosis!

So what kinds of things can I do in Hypnosis? Well i offer past life regressions- this is where a client can visit a past life self. I can assist in behaviour changes- like overcoming addictions, or help with nuetralizing fears and phobias.

I can help with ego strenthening and give the client a boost to their self esteem. I can assist with finding objects or memories from the recent past. I  can offer just RELAXATION, a remedy fix for just about anything.
