Therapy for when you’re worried about going to therapy

Life has thrown you some curveballs.

And it hasn’t been easy.  You want to go to therapy but you’re nervous. You don’t know how much you can handle after everything you’ve already been through.  You want to try a therapy that isn’t going to add more stress and struggle to your life.  You’re looking for a gentle and calming way to let go of the stress and pain you hold inside.

I’m here to help.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is a lovely, gentle way of achieving deep relaxation and focusing attention so we can make positive changes in your life.   By guiding you to a state of relaxation and focusing your attention, we can access the subconscious mind where memories, emotions, and beliefs are stored.  This allows us to get to the root of difficult experiences you’ve had in life along with any painful or unwanted thoughts, feelings, or behaviors.

Hypnotherapy is not like it’s portrayed in the movies. I’m not going to make you cluck like a chicken or do something against your will. You are always in control and can stop at any time.  Most clients feel that it’s a peaceful way to bring about positive change in their lives.

WHAT IS A HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION LIKE?

During a hypnotherapy session, I use guided relaxation and music to bring you to a place of peace where we can access the subconscious mind.  Before we begin, you get to decide what we will focus on.  

Hypnotherapy can allow you to…

  •  Strengthen positive feelings like confidence, bravery, or inner strength

  • Change a behavior like quit smoking or overeating

  • Reduce a strong  emotion like panic, guilt, or shame

  • Get relief from a somatic complaint like chronic pain or digestive issues  

Reprocessing a traumatic or painful event

During the hypnotherapy session, I can guide you to go back to a time when you felt younger and believed things like:

  • I’m stupid

  • I’m not good enough

  • It’s my fault

  • I’m unloveable

  • I can’t handle this

Together we can find the source of the issue and repair it so you no longer feel the painful emotions or believe the negative beliefs about yourself.  We are able to resolve the trauma and reduce the impact it has on your life in the present day.

I record the session so that the client can listen to it and remember the positive parts of the healing experience.

Hypnotherapy can help you…

Heal from painful experiences without more stress or overwhelm

  • Break patterns & habits that have kept you stuck

  • Get relief from negative emotions and beliefs about yourself

  • Feel more peace and ease during your therapeutic work

Healing doesn’t have to hurt. 

Hypnotherapy can help.
