HYPNOSIS
Below is a basic description of the hypnosis process. For a more robust description, including the types of things hypnosis successfully treats, please see my website www.viahypnosis.com. You may also contact me (it's free!) to discuss how hypnosis can help you with your particular challenge, by calling 914-672-9741.
Are you tired of telling the same old story and living with the same complaints? Are you ready to unload those old fears and behaviors that no longer serve you? Ready to stop being a victim to knee-jerk emotional reactions that suited you as an adolescent but get in the way of an adult relationship?
There's good news! You don't need to carry all of that stuff around anymore! With hypnosis you can clear out all of those old patterns that keep you locked in damaging or annoying habits and upgrade to new habits that will bring you success, prosperity, and good health.
Hypnosis is not what Hollywood has shown us. It is an alternative state of consciousness in which the attention of the client is focused away from the present reality and towards particular images, thoughts, perceptions, feelings, motivations, sensations, behaviors or any combination of these. Generally, under hypnosis people become more receptive to suggestion, causing changes in the way they feel, think, and behave, although contrary to popular belief they do still remain in complete control of their actions.
This means the client, who must participate 100% in order for hypnosis to work, learns to focus on the new behaviors, habits, actions and/or thoughts and thereby creates new neuropathways. By "acting as if" the client is slimmer, a non-smoker, a stress-free individual, or whatever the goal may be, he or she becomes the behavior that is focused on. It's a perfect example of living and learning, and the most efficient way to create lasting change.
When a person decides on hypnosis as the tool for change, we sit down together and decide which suggestions best describe the new behaviors the clients wants to have as his or her "second nature." In hypnosis (which can also be described as "the willing suspension of disbelief"), the client chooses to believe and accept the suggestions being given, and by repeatedly making believe or suspending disbelief, the new genuine belief is formed. When the belief if formed, the body, habits, and actions all fall into place to support that new belief.
I generally see clients 3-5 times, for one-hour sessions, approximately one week apart. The cost is $135 per session.
I am a member in good standing of the National Guild of Hypnotists.
