Personal Development Hypnotherapy Sessions Starting at $125
A hypnotherapy session is a collaborative process designed to help you access your subconscious mind to make positive changes. Below provides insight into what a typical session entails.
The session begins with a conversation where we discuss your goals and the specific issues you want to address. This is a crucial step for building trust and ensuring you feel comfortable. I'll explain what hypnotherapy is—and what it isn't. It's not about mind control or making you do anything you don't want to. It is a state of deep focus, similar to daydreaming or being engrossed in a movie. This phase also allows me to tailor the session to your unique needs.
This is also a time for me to provide you with "homework," such as a recording to listen to at home or simple exercises to reinforce the changes we will work on. This helps to solidify the progress made during the session and empower you to continue your journey toward your goals.
After our discussion, I will guide you into a state of hypnosis. This is often done using a calming voice and relaxing techniques like deep breathing or guided imagery. You'll simply sit or recline comfortably and listen to my voice. As you relax, your conscious mind will quiet down, allowing you to access a deeper level of awareness. You will remain in control and can emerge from the state at any time.
Once you are in a hypnotic state, we begin the therapeutic work. I will use positive suggestions, visualizations, and metaphors to help your subconscious mind adopt new, more beneficial patterns of thought and behavior. For example, if we are working on confidence, I might use an image of you feeling strong and capable. The suggestions are aligned with the goals we discussed in the initial consultation. This is the core of the session where lasting change can be initiated.
At the end of the session, I will gently guide you back to full awareness, ensuring you feel refreshed and alert. We'll then discuss your experience and any insights you may have had. We'll also decide whether a follow-up session is needed.
