THE INTAKE INTERVIEW

I always do an intake interview on our first visit. Information is gathered, including family and medical history, and whatever else is necessary.

I'll explain hypnosis, answer your questions, and address your concerns.

SETTING GOALS

Together, we'll identify a specific, attainable goal - focused on an area that you feel needs improvement. We'll create positive suggestions to be introduced to your subconscious mind.

THE INDUCTION

An induction is an exercise to help you relax physically and mentally. There are many types of inductions. The more you experience hypnosis, the faster the induction can help you reach the hypnotic state. A typical induction can last from 10-30 minutes.

THE SESSION

The type of Hypnosis used in our session will depend on our interview and the goal you are seeking:

If we've established goals, I'll talk directly to your subconscious. I'll introduce the agreed upon positive suggestions to begin change or modify habits. During this kind of session you will interact little, if at all.

If the problem is unknown to us, I will direct you to it by using your feedback. We'll use "yes or no" questions to which you respond verbally or nonverbally (by raising a finger or nodding your head).

Some times an interactive "talk" session can be beneficial. We'll converse while you are in a relaxed state.

EMERGING FROM TRANCE

Hypnosis is a wonderful, relaxing state. When you emerge from trance, you will remember everything, be refreshed and rejuvenated.

REVIEW/SUGGESTIONS

At the end of a session, you will probably have comments for me - what you liked or enjoyed about the process; what got in the way. I'll note these, so our subsequent sessions will be even more powerful.
