Hypnotherapy for Weight Loss: The Power of the Mind

If you are struggling with weight loss, you are not alone. Obesity is a growing problem around the world, and many people struggle with diet and exercise programs that simply don’t work for them. However, there is a solution that has proven to be effective for many people: hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses hypnotic techniques to help people achieve their goals. It is based on the idea that the mind has the power to influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When used for weight loss, hypnotherapy can help people change their attitudes towards food and exercise, overcome cravings, and build healthier habits.

One of the benefits of hypnotherapy for weight loss is that it addresses the underlying psychological and emotional factors that contribute to obesity. For example, many people overeat to cope with stress or to comfort themselves. Hypnotherapy can help them identify these triggers and find alternative, healthier ways to manage their emotions.

Another advantage of hypnotherapy for weight loss is that it can help people overcome the unconscious habits and behaviors that prevent them from losing weight. For example, many people eat in response to unconscious cues, such as when they watch TV or sit down at the dinner table. Hypnotherapy can help them break these patterns and establish new habits that support their weight loss goals.

Finally, hypnotherapy for weight loss is a safe and non-invasive solution that is available to everyone. Unlike weight loss surgery or other medical interventions, hypnotherapy does not involve any incisions or anesthesia. It is a natural and gentle way to help people lose weight and improve their overall health.

Hypnotherapy for weight loss is an important tool for people who struggle with obesity. By addressing the underlying psychological and emotional factors that contribute to weight gain, hypnotherapy can help people change their attitudes and behaviors, and achieve their weight loss goals. Whether you are just starting your weight loss journey or you have been struggling for years, hypnotherapy can help you find the success you deserve.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind to remove self-sabotaging behaviors, limiting beliefs, and blocks that prevent you from leading your best life – in love, career, finance, health, and so much more.

Hypnotherapy is a powerful therapeutic technique that accesses your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is 90% of the mind and is where all of your feelings, emotions, long-term memory, habits, patterns, beliefs, and behaviors are stored – which makes hypnotherapy so effective. We have direct access to heal your issue at its core.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

With hypnotherapy, we have direct access to your subconscious mind and are able to go to the root of your issue and heal it. Through the process of hypnotherapy, we are able to go to the exact origin of your issue, identify how it is affecting you in your present life, and heal it.

From there, you will learn new tools, resources, and practices to use in your everyday life. You will leave the hypnotherapy session feeling lighter, empowered, and ready to create active change in your life.

How is Hypnotherapy Different from Talk Therapy?

Hypnotherapy is different than talk therapy because in hypnotherapy we access your subconscious mind – which is 90% of your brain. Talk therapy works with your conscious mind – the other 10% part of your brain that analyzes, computes, and discerns.

Hypnotherapy goes both deeper and faster than talk therapy. For this reason, it is my preferred method of therapy.

What Happens During a Hypnotherapy Session?

The hypnotherapy session begins with soft, relaxing music and relaxation techniques to take you deep into a state of relaxation. Your eyes will be closed for the majority of the session. You can choose to lie down or sit up, whichever feels most comfortable to you.

You and I will then dialogue about your issue from your subconscious mind and very much like a guided meditation or a relaxing visualization, we will go through the process of accessing the root of your issue.

Once we discover that, we will remove the old, negative block and replace it with new, healthy ways of being in your life.

If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, schedule a free 15-minute initial consultation call and learn how hypnotherapy can work for you.

What is Ketamine Therapy?

What is Ketamine Therapy?

by | Jul 20, 2022 | Ketamine Therapy

What is Ketamine Therapy?

I offer a therapeutic modality called Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is a holistic modality in which ketamine is used as a complement to psychotherapy to help eligible clients experience more frequent breakthroughs and sustained improvement in symptoms. I take on the psychotherapy portion of the experience, while my medical team supports you on all medical aspects. This includes determining eligibility, developing a custom treatment plan, prescribing the medicine, and monitoring outcomes. Below is more information about KAP to help you navigate if it may be a good fit for you.

What is Ketamine?

Ketamine is a legal, safe and effective medicine used to treat a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Ketamine has rapidly acting antidepressant and mood-enhancing effects, which can begin to take effect within 1-2 hrs. after treatment. It works by blocking the brain’s NMDA receptors as well as by stimulating AMPA receptors, which are thought to help form new synaptic connections and boost neural circuits that regulate stress and mood. Ketamine has also been shown to enhance overall neuroplasticity for lasting symptom improvement. Ketamine can be administered in a variety of ways, including IV infusion, intramuscular injection, nasal spray, and using sublingual lozenges. In my work with Ketamine Therapy, we only use the sublingual lozenge form.

How Does Ketamine Feel?

The effects of ketamine, which most patients find pleasant, last for approximately 45 minutes. These effects can make you feel “far from” your body, and facilitate shifts in perception that can often feel expansive in nature. Your motor and verbal abilities will be reduced, so you’ll be lying down in a comfortable position during the experience. Once these effects subside, we’ll spend the remainder of our appointment giving you space to process and discuss your experience. While it may feel hard to articulate what happens during the experience, patients feel like the insights gained are clear.

How Do I Sign Up for Ketamine Therapy?

If you would like to explore the possibility of working with me using Ketamine Therapy, please e-mail me directly to discuss eligibility and next steps.


How Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy Works

Initial Consultation

Schedule an initial evaluation with our medical team via zoom to determine if you are eligible for KAP. If you qualify, a small amount of oral ketamine will be sent to your home, enough for the first 2 KAP sessions.

Preparation Session

 Preparation sessions will be scheduled just like regular therapy sessions prior to the KAP dosing session. The goal of a preparation session is to align the process and set intentions for our KAP sessions together.

KAP Dosing Session

A typical ketamine dosing session lasts between 1-2 hours and can take place either in-person at my office, or remotely via telehealth.

Integration Session

After our KAP dosing session, we will meet for multiple integration therapy sessions to review the memories, thoughts & insights that arose during your dosing session, and to prepare for the next dosing session.

Follow-up Consultations

After our first KAP session, our medical team schedules regular follow-ups with you to monitor outcomes and prescribe ketamine lozenge refills, as appropriate.

Hypnotherapy Near Me: How to Pick the Best Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy Near Me: How to Pick the Best Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapy Near Me

Have you ever googled hypnotherapy near me?

What did you find when you searched for hypnotherapist near me?

Chances are you found a list of people in your area who offer hypnotherapy but you did’t know where to start or how to choose the best hypnotherapist in your area. 

As a certified clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, here’s what I tell all my new potential clients to look for when they are searching for hypnotherapy near me in a google search.

How to Choose the Best Hypnotherapist Near Me

1. Schedule a free consultation session to meet with the hypnotherapist you are interested in working with. A good hypnotherapist will offer a free consultation call to discuss all your questions and to see if you are a good fit for hypnotherapy.

2. Make sure that they are certified in clinical hypnotherapy. This will weed out anyone who didn’t receive a certified clinical hypnotherapy education.

3. This is very important. Make sure that the hypnotherapist is also a psychotherapist. Legally, a hypnotherapist can only call themselves a hypnotherapist if they have a Master’s Degree or higher in the mental health or medical professional field. Many people call themselves hypnotherapists when they are truly hypnotists. Hypnotists don’t have the education or training in psychotherapy and trauma that is crucial to the makings of a great hypnotherapist. Making this distinction is key to finding the best hypnotherapist near me.

4. Trauma-Informed. Make sure that your hypnotherapist is trauma-informed. Trauma-informed means that the hypnotherapist understands the impact of trauma and understand paths for recovery. They recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients and family systems. And most importantly, they know how to actively avoid re-traumatization.

Hypnotherapy for Abandonment Wounds and Anxious Attachment

Hypnotherapy for Abandonment Wounds and Anxious Attachment

by | Apr 22, 2022 | Abandonment, Hypnosis, Hypnotherapy, Relationships

 

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns in your relationships? Do you struggle with anxiety and feel like it’s holding you back from living your best life? Hypnotherapy may be the answer you’ve been searching for.

Attachment styles are patterns of behavior and emotional responses that we develop early in life, typically in our relationships with our primary caregivers. These styles influence how we perceive and respond to intimacy, emotional connection, and conflict in our adult relationships.

There are four main attachment styles: secure attachment, anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, and disorganized attachment. Let’s take a closer look at each of these styles and how they show up in relationships:

Secure Attachment: Individuals with a secure attachment style feel comfortable with intimacy and are able to form close, trusting relationships. They have a positive view of themselves and others, and are able to communicate their needs and emotions in a healthy way.

Anxious Attachment: Individuals with an anxious attachment style often worry about being abandoned or rejected by their partner. They may cling to their partner, become overly dependent, or seek constant reassurance to feel secure in the relationship.

Avoidant Attachment: Individuals with an avoidant attachment style tend to avoid intimacy and emotional closeness in relationships. They may have difficulty trusting others and often prioritize independence over connection.

Disorganized Attachment: Individuals with a disorganized attachment style may experience conflicting feelings about intimacy and relationships. They may feel trapped in relationships or struggle with emotional regulation and impulse control.

It’s important to note that these attachment styles are not set in stone and can be changed through therapy, self-awareness, and intentional effort.

Through hypnotherapy, individuals can learn to cultivate feelings of safety, security, and trust in their relationships. This can include visualization exercises, positive affirmations, and other techniques to promote healthy attachment styles.

For example, a hypnotherapist may work with an individual to visualize themselves in a secure, loving relationship where they feel safe, supported, and respected. By repeatedly visualizing and reinforcing these positive beliefs and emotions, individuals can begin to rewire their attachment patterns and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Attachment styles can greatly impact our relationships, but they are not set in stone. With the help of hypnotherapy, individuals can identify and release negative beliefs and emotions, cultivate positive emotions, and promote healthy attachment patterns for more fulfilling and secure relationships.

Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool in rewiring attachment patterns and promoting secure attachment. By working with the subconscious mind, hypnotherapy can help individuals identify and release negative beliefs and emotions that may be driving their attachment patterns.

Hypnotherapy works by accessing your subconscious mind, which is where your emotions, memories, beliefs, and behaviors are all stored. This means that by working with a skilled hypnotherapist, you can access the root cause of your issues and heal from the inside out.

If you’ve struggled with an abandonment wound, anxious attachment style, or other relationship patterns that stem from childhood experiences, hypnotherapy can help. By identifying the core beliefs and emotions that are driving these patterns, you can release them and create new, healthier patterns that will serve you in all areas of your life.

And if anxiety is holding you back, hypnotherapy can help you find relief. By working with your subconscious mind, you can release the underlying beliefs and emotions that are fueling your anxiety and replace them with new, positive beliefs that will help you feel empowered and confident.

The beauty of hypnotherapy is that it’s a safe, gentle, and effective way to create lasting change. Unlike traditional talk therapy, hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind, which means that you can see results quickly and easily.

So if you’re ready to heal from the inside out and create the life you truly deserve, consider hypnotherapy. With the right support and guidance, you can overcome your deepest fears and transform your life in ways you never thought possible.
