What is Hypnosis? 

The academic definition: "Hypnosis is a natural psycho-physiological state of aroused, attentive, receptive, focal concentration, with a corresponding diminution in peripheral awareness."--David Spiegel M.D.

In other words it is a naturally occurring state where you are very focused, very aware with less interest in what's around you.  Much like watching a really good movie!

What is hypnotherapy?
 
Hypnotherapy is the process of actually helping someone become de-hypnotized and giving them a better hypnosis.   Ie: Let's take smoking as an example.  Hypnotherapy is the process of transforming a self-image of being someone who smokes to someone who is a non-smoker. 

What is Transpersonal hypnotherapy?

Transpersonal Hypnosis is also the process of de-hypnosis, but instead of giving someone a better hypnosis, like in smoking, our goal is to someone wake up to their essential beingness.

During this consultation with a certified hypnotherapist, we will discuss your issues and determine if we are the right fit for you. 
Remember this phone consultation is free and you are under no obligation to continue after your initial consultation. 

If we find you a suitable subject for hypnosis and it is the right modality for you, we will tailor design a program that best fits you and your goals. 

Is it covered by insurance?

No.  Since we are not "treating" a physical or mental illness it is not covered by insurance. However we will provide you with a bill as well as a copy of your medical referral (if you require a medical referral) for you to submit to your insurance provider.  Many get some reimbursement.

What is the cost?

This will be discussed during your free phone consultation. 

Do you accept credit cards?

Yes.  We accept cash or Visa, Master Card and American Express.  We do not accept checks.

I don't think I can be hypnotized.

You may not think you can, but if you have ever been in love then you have already been in hypnosis!

Is hypnosis different than sleep?

Hypnosis is very different than sleep in that during sleep there are only certain times when the sub-conscious mind is being activated.

However in hypnosis, your sub-conscious mind is totally involved.

I am afraid of giving up control.

While many think that I am hypnotizing them, my clients are actually doing it themselves with my assistance.  The images of films that portray hypnosis as some kind of mind control are purely fictional.

Hypnosis is a combination of complete relaxation and focused attention.  You will always be aware and will be able to bring yourself out of a trance any time that you need to.  Besides, your sub-conscious mind is there to aid in your survival and would never allow you to be put in any kind of danger
