课程介绍
Are you curious about hypnotherapy and how it can help you achieve your goals? Do you want to reprogram negative memories from your life? Do you want to start or stop a habit?
Join me for a 15-minute introduction to hypnotherapy.
I am a certified hypnotherapist recognized by both the International Guild of Hypnotists and the National Guild of Hypnotists. I have helped people overcome trauma from childhood experiences and sexual assault. I’ve also helped people stop smoking.
Is this a short hypnotherapy session?
This session is not hypnosis.But it allows you to experience the “induction” tests I use in hypnotherapy — if you want. This is designed for anyone wanting to learn more to decide whether to book a future hypnotherapy session. Many people are intimidated by hypnosis. This session is designed to remove anxiety and misunderstanding of hypnosis. It is about the process of hypnotherapy and how it might help you. If I have already met you in a “Stress: Depression or Anger Control” session, I will move into hypnosis in this session.
Is hypnotherapy recommended to relieve depression?
In the long term, it depends on the cause of the depression. Emotional and physical pain is sometimes a warning sign that something is wrong. In some cases, cognitive behavior therapy is more practical in helping someone with depression. Sometimes external changes should be made. (See my “stress control session.”) In the short run, it will lift your mood the way a movie you like will lift your mood. It can also bring back memories of good feelings that you had forgotten. It can also alter and amplify memories.
How does it help someone feel good?
Hypnotherapy seems to stimulate the release of neurotransmitters, encephalin, and endorphin, which improve mood. It also had the benefit of giving the central nervous system a break from stress — this will feel like you’ve taken a 20-minute good nap.
How about insomnia?
Absolutely— hypnosis has a history of helping insomniacs fall asleep naturally.
How do you know if someone is quickly hypnotizeable?
I use a couple of techniques. One of the techniques I use for online work is the “Spiegel Eye-roll Test.”
What type of person is not quickly hypnotizeable?
It sometimes takes a lot of work to get someone into the hypnotic state of alpha-theta corridor, the brainwave state of hypnosis. A variety of factors can slow down the hypnotic process. If someone is drunk, for instance, they will have difficulty concentrating and following directions. Or, if someone is under stress, it takes more time. But useful mental reprogramming can still be done even in slight trance states. Hypnotic states tend to deepen as the sessions progress. Several sessions are generally required for smoking cessation, trauma, phobias, etc.
Studies supporting hypnotherapy:
PTSD trauma (childhood abuse, combat exposure, sexual assault)
A 2020 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms in adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
A 2018 study published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced PTSD symptoms in veterans, with significant improvements observed after six sessions.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression in female survivors of childhood sexual abuse.
A 2014 study published in the Journal of Traumatic Stress found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced PTSD symptoms. This includes various types of trauma, such as sexual assault, motor vehicle accidents, and combat exposure.
Insomnia
A 2020 study published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine found that hypnosis effectively reduced sleep onset latency (the time it takes to fall asleep). Hypnosis also improved sleep quality in individuals with chronic insomnia.
A 2016 study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that hypnosis improved sleep quality. Hypnosis also reduced insomnia symptoms in women undergoing menopause.
Weight loss (overeating due to emotional stress)
A 2021 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced body weight, BMI, and waist circumference in patients with overweight or obesity.
A 2020 study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnotherapy effectively reduced body weight, BMI, and waist circumference in patients with obesity.
Smoking cessation
A 2018 study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found that hypnotherapy was more effective than other smoking cessation methods. Hypnosis surpassed nicotine replacement therapy and standard behavioral counseling in helping smokers quit.
A 2013 study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnotherapy was effective at helping smokers quit. After six hypnotherapy sessions, 50% of participants stopped smoking.
Anesthesia
A 2017 study published in the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia found that hypnosis effectively reduced pain and anxiety in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery. It was associated with a reduction in opioid use after surgery.
A 2016 study published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research found that hypnosis was effective as an adjunct to anesthesia. It reduced postoperative pain, anxiety, and the use of analgesics in dental patients.
Improved sports performance
A 2020 study published in the Journal of Applied Sport Psychology found that hypnosis effectively improved the performance of soccer penalty kicks in female athletes.
A 2018 study published in the International Journal of Sports Psychology found that hypnosis improved basketball shooting accuracy in adolescent athletes.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that hypnosis improved power output and muscular endurance in collegiate female athletes.
