Consultation
Consultations consist of a 10-minute phone or Zoom call to discuss the nature of the presenting issue. It provides an opportunity to speak prior to a formal session and allows clients to decide if they align with my specific hypnotherapy style. Basic questions will be answered, and assessments will be made regarding whether the specific issue is within the scope of my practice. In the event that the issue is something I’m unable to work with, I will be glad to provide a referral.
Hypnotherapy
The initial hypnotherapy session can range from 60-75 minutes. It begins with a brief discussion about what hypnosis is, and dispels common myths regarding hypnosis and how it works. Next, there’s an in-depth explanation about the different parts of our minds and how they function. This gives greater insight as to why we meet resistance when trying to make a change, as well as how to overcome it. Immediately following, is a simple questionnaire to help me recognize how clients learn, and understand the best way to assist them during hypnosis. After a few short exercises, the client will be strategically guided into the hypnotic state. Once the hypnotic portion is complete, notes will be reviewed with the client, any further questions will be answered, and the first session is complete.
General hypnotherapy sessions are for individuals who have already completed at least one session with me. They usually last about 60 minutes and follow a similar outline as the initial session. However, these sessions don’t require any formal explanations or questionnaires. More time is devoted to cognitive discussion, refining techniques and/or suggestions, and hypnosis. Following the hypnotic portion, notes will be reviewed, questions will be answered, and that completes the session.
Past Life Regression Therapy
Past Life Regression Therapy is a gentle method used to guide individuals on a journey into a past life while they are in a meditative or hypnotic state. It can be utilized to connect with a deceased loved-one, to find out information that can help improve the current life, or simply to see what comes from the experience. Many use this type of therapy for overall soul healing. Individuals may recall memories by seeing, hearing, feeling, or innately knowing.
These sessions range from 60-90 minutes. Due to the nature of Past Life Regression Therapy, sessions are flexible and there is no standard outline.
