Healing as Art Counseling
Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a transformational psychotherapy treatment approach evolved from the depth psychology work of early psychologist, Carl Jung. It involves you being guided into a deeply relaxed trance state – the state between asleep and awake – where your brain waves fluctuate in the alpha to theta range. Everyone experiences this (alpha to theta wave) trance state while falling asleep and awakening. It is a state similar to that for meditation or prayer.
Hypnotherapy is
For those...
...who are wishing to get to the root of long-held mental, emotional, behavioral, and/or physical patterns.
...who have been in mental health treatment for some time and are finding traditional therapy methods slow moving.
I would love to have a consultation with you to see if we can blossom a fruitful therapeutic relationship!
The Process
01
Induction
First, you are guided into the trance state through what is called hypnotic suggestion which, experientially, can simply be understood as guided meditation/visualization. Once in trance, you are able to work collaboratively with both your subconscious and conscious minds.
03
Age Regression
Then, still in trance, you are guided through Age Regression(s) where you connect your current presenting concern with (up to two) past experiences from earlier in your life where your current concern originates from.
05
Subsconscious Reprogramming
You are then guided to re-process your past experiences with new meaning that will inform your current beliefs and behaviors, offering the possibility of a richer future less impeded by your presenting concern.
02
Resourcing
Then you call in resource states for guidance and healing, including your Wise Adult and your Spiritual Connection. Your Wise Adult is a version of you who has made wise decisions for you in the past. Your Spiritual Connection is your unique interpretation of a benevolent force.
04
Corrective Emotional Experience
You are then therapeutically guided, as you consciously return to and re-experience these Age Regressions, to express these past emotional wounds in a healthy manner, releasing them from your subconscious.
06
"Waking Up"
Once the healing work is complete for the session, you are guided by hypnotic suggestion back to a more wakeful state, now able to integrate and practice your new belief systems and behaviors.
