***CREDENTIALS BEING VERIFIED: see info below***
TROUBLE IN PARADISE?
I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist with an MA IN Psychology and 25 years of experience in the counseling field. I find that a behavioral approach to life's challenges speeds up the process of self-discovery and positive change.
My credentials and experience are being verified but I have listed them below.***
I've worked with many individuals and couples to:
- Restore closeness, intimacy, and affection
- Communicate through the "language of feelings"
- Speak and feel "heard" without anger, blame, shame, or guilt
- Negotiate and resolve conflict in ways that both people "win"
- Resolve sexual dysfunctions and "differences" together
- Understand each others "other gender" tendencies (Mars/Venus)
- Stop "fighting" in destructive, nonproductive ways
- Return to the joy, affection, romance, and friendship you once had
- Learn to honor, respect, and LIKE each other's differentness while remaining true to yourselves
RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS stem from the problems we have within OURSELVES. Whatever brought you to my listing, improving your SELF-CONFIDENCE, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, INSIGHT, and SELF-RESPECT is where you start.
RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE EASY, FLOWING, AND JOYFUL. Rediscover the love and joy in the relationship you are in. Connect with the love you desire if you are not in a relationship. The communication and other skills that ensure healthy, long-lasting relationships can be learned easily once you understand what they are.
HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE INSTITUTE WHERE I HAVE MY OFFICE
ABOUT THE 'HYPNOSIS' PART OF HYPNOTHERAPY: Hypnotherapy combines cognitive ("talk") therapy with hypnosis (reprogramming response) to produce rapid, effective results.
While not a substitute for psychotherapy (for deeper emotional problems), hypnotherapy excels when it comes to changing old patterns of behavior and learning new skills.
IS IT NECESSARY TO USE HYPNOSIS IN A SESSION WITH YOU? NO, it isn't necessary and we will use it only by mutual agreement and where appropriate. The choice is always yours.
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS ANYWAY? Hypnosis is a natural state we enter many times each day: presleep dozing, waking up, meditating, being engrossed in a thought or task, and "spacing out" are all examples of TRANCE state.
Familiar to most is 'HIGHWAY HYPNOSIS': lost in thought, 'waking up' miles later, wondering how you got there.
It is in this hypersuggestible relaxed state that reprogramming your automatic responses (e.g., defensiveness, insecurity, withdrawing, combativeness, 'talking it to death and getting nowhere', smoking, drinking or eating when upset instead of constructive communication)can be accomplished easily, quickly, effectively.
CAN HYPNOSIS REALLY BE INDUCED BY TELEPHONE? Easily and effectively! Hypnosis is very easy to induce on the telephone and sessions are as effective as being in person.
FYI: HYPNOSIS WAS APPROVED BY THE AMA in 1958 for use in a variety of medical treatments. Hundreds of medical doctors, dentists, and psychotherapists acknowledge and utilize the enormous power of the MIND-BODY CONNECTION. The tools of hypnosis are used to facilitate medical treatment in many areas of health and healing: pain, phobia, stress, habit control and much more.
