WHAT HYPNOTHERAPY IS...
bulletA powerful tool for focused change which can be used alone, or in combination with other modalities, to quickly and effectively bring relief for a variety of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual issues.
bulletA partnership with your therapist, who acts as a guide and companion while accompanying you on this journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and self-healing.
bulletA broad spectrum of techniques which can be employed singly or in tandem to unlock blockages which result in disharmony, imbalance, and disease.
bulletA system of therapy which utilizes trance work for access to the inner wisdom of the body, mind, and spirit within us all. The stages of trance used include light alpha states we all experience every day, as well as the deeper trance states.
bulletResults oriented, intensive short-term therapy which goes to the core of issues and brings about transformational change very quickly.  This work is for people who are ready to heal.
bulletA spiritual healing path and a sacred trust.  It is also grounded in sound scientific principles, and congruent with other physical and psychological modalities.  Often hypnotherapy provides the missing element in a holistic body, mind, spirit treatment plan.

HYPNOTHERAPY IS NOT...
  Hypnotherapy is not magic.  It is not mind control either.  You will not cluck like a chicken, or do anything under hypnosis that you would not be comfortable doing while fully awake.  Many people do not completely understand what hypnosis is, due in large part to the public perception of stage hypnotists seen in nightclubs and on cruise ships.  It should be kept in mind these entertainers carefully screen their subjects for traits of latent exhibitionism.  Often this is enhanced by the consumption of alcohol in these venues.

  Hypnotherapy will not cause you to give up control of yourself, or be under the spell of the therapist.  No Hypnotherapist will be able to implant inappropriate suggestions against your will.  Nor will you be forced to divulge anything that you are not comfortable sharing with your therapist.  In fact, you will not be able to be hypnotized at all without your complete and willing agreement.
