I'm pleased to announce the upcoming practicum phase of my hypnotherapy education. Having completed Hypnosis Motivation Institute's foundational 300-hour program I seek subjects for a win-win opportunity. No-fee General Self Improvement sessions will be offered through to the end of 2021.
What is hypnosis? It is a natural state we find ourselves in throughout each day. One example that translates easily to hypnotherapy is our state of being when engrossed in watching a film. The plot line, the characters, the dialogue, and other elements draw-in our attention. Our day-to-day is released as we experience a change of state. In hypnotherapy we work together to discover your desired plot line so-to-speak. In a relaxed, hypnotic state your desired changes are offered with supportive wording and phrasing.
Is hypnosis safe? You will be aware and in control. You will not be "programmed" to do anything you don't want to do. Your desired changes will be addressed incrementally in a positive manner. Aversive techniques and wording will never be used. As a certified hypnotherapist and not a licensed therapist or counselor the sessions are for vocational and avocational self-improvement. A phone consultation will determine if hypnotherapy is appropriate for you. If you are experiencing physical symptoms or behavioral issues a referral from a medical or mental health professional may be needed. This is not uncommon and is a safeguard for your well-being.
Ethics indicate I do not practice hypnotherapy with someone with whom I have a secondary relationship: a family member, friend, neighbor, business associate, my doctor, dentist, etc. There are safeguards for this circumstance and we can discuss how a session can be approached.
I am and all subjects must be fully COVID-19 vaccinated. I am happy to wear a mask upon request. If anyone has illness symptoms we reschedule. My training includes live, online video sessions which is an option in case of illness or for other reasons prohibiting in-person sessions.
In 2022 I will narrow-down my specialty areas as well as establish office hours at the First Colonial office space and a fee structure in 2022.
Please contact me if your group is in need of a speaker in 2022. I can present fun and rewarding presentations on topics such as but not limited to self-hypnosis and therapeutic journaling within Virginia Beach and Norfolk.
