Hypnotherapy is a well researched and highly successful form of therapy
If there is a need or desire I, also, incorporate hypnotherapy in treatment. Due to so many misconceptions about hypnosis I feel it is important to understand the difference between clinical hypnosis and stage or entertainment hypnosis.
Clinical Hypnotherapy or Hypnosis
Clinical hypnosis is a widely practiced, extensively researched and highly successful form of therapy for treating a vast array of psychological, emotional, physical, and spiritual problems. It is a private, one-on-one, collaborative and interactive therapeutic process that takes place in a safe, comfortable, controlled office setting.
The persons I have worked with through directed dialogue and the application of various hypnotic suggestions and techniques, say they experience a calm, peacefulness, a positive sense of well being and that they learn to move beyond their fears and limitations to achieve their specific goals of creating positive change and lasting self-improvement. Working with a hypnotherapist is like working with a personal trainer for the mind.
Stage or Entertainment Hypnosis
Stage hypnosis is a form of entertainment that seeks to regale an audience by having willing participants to sometimes engage in facetious behavior under the direction of a stage hypnotist.
“What hypnosis does best is amplify people’s abilities, including their hidden abilities, such as the capacity to reduce the subjective experience of pain or the capacity to better adapt to a change in their circumstances. Hypnosis empowers people to discover and develop strengths in themselves they didn’t know they had, and the consequences in people’s lives are often nothing short of extraordinary.”
