energy, peace, purpose and will change your
life....Here are some of ways hypnosis can help you.
Smoking Cessation: Under certain circumstances hypnotherapy can be very effective in the
termination of this habit that kills over four hundred thousand Americans a year. The critical
key for success with this addiction is the desire of the patient to change. On a scale of one to
ten, ten being the highest, the smoker must be at a level ten to stop smoking. Why is this high
level of motivation required? It is requited because all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.
Weight Loss: Hypnotherapy can be a very effective modality to use for weight loss. If obesity
is present, hypnotherapy can be used in conjunction with psychotherapy for weight loss. The
reasons why the obese patient is misusing food must be addressed or the patient will
eventually regain the weight.
Habit Control and Habit Elimination: The successful use of hypnotherapy in this area is well
documented. Life-threating habits such as smoking and excessive eating need to be
eliminated. Other habits that need to be eliminated are not life-threating, but they are habits
that affect life styles. Good examples are hair pulling, nail biting, skin picking, and food
addictions. Sometimes a habit simply needs modification. When a behavior is simply a habit
hypnotherapy is a powerful technique to eliminate or modify it, but if there is a pathology at the
root of the behavior, psychotherapy is indicated, and the hypnotherapy would be used
adjunctively, as it often is.
Hypnotherapy and Phobias: The majority of phobics are highly suggestible, and suggestion
is at the heart of hypnosis. We are only born with two fears, the fear of falling and the fear of
loud noises. All other fears are learned, and therefore can be unlearned at the unconscious
level. Many fears come from a fearful experience, or they are learned in families, i.e, parents
passing their fears on to their children Seemingly the most common fear is the fear of speaking
in public. The public speaker is fearful that he will make a fool of himself by saying the wrong
thing, or even not being able to speak in public. Fear of flying is also a common phobia. This
involves several fears, for example, the patient who is afraid of the enclosed spaces in a plane,
or the fear of the take off and landing, or the fear of heights. Fear of needles is also common;
this is often related to a negative childhood experience with receiving injections which were
painful or which were delivered in a negative manner.
Children and Hypnotherapy: Children are ideal candidates for hypnotherapy. From the
moment of birth until the onset of puberty a child is in hypnosis or "waking trance" 75% of the
day. Common applications with children include ,but are not limited to: bed wetting; nail biting;
thumb sucking; eating disorders; school phobias; habit modification or elimination; sports
performance, etc . I use hypnotherapy with children from about ages 4 through 19. Hypnosis
with younger children is different than hypnosis with teenagers. Since a young child would not
understand what hypnosis is, we do "let's pretend magic sleep". I have the parents encourage
the children to bring in any magic tricks that they may know and I have magic tricks that I use at
the hospital. This is the beginning of rapport building with a child patient. After I meet the child I
make a list of the best friends, pets, favorite cartoon or movie characters, and characters in
favorite books. This material is used in the inductions. The same basic five techniques
mentioned earlier are used with children too, i.e., types of suggestions, visualizations, etc.
When working with small children you use their language. The length of time in trance is
shorter as well.
Hypnotherapy for Relationships: There are so many ways that our relationships can get off
course at various times in our lives: couples who have "drifted apart" may have allowed
barriers, built of old issues, come between them; life-time friends who have a serious difference
of opinion find they are unable to approach one another to make amends; children of adult
parents sometimes stay resentful of perceived mistreatment for years after the incident; and in
many families, certain periods of their child's development can bring disharmony to the home.
For example, turmoil seems to occur often in homes that are "growing" teenagers. Many
families experience a temporary collapse of the family structure as a result of the conflicts that
occur between the teen and her parents; this structure usually rebuilds itself once the child
leaves the teen years behind. Unfortunately, for some families the destruction is so complete
that the family stays divided forever. But it is never too late for healing to begin. Read on to
discover how hypnosis can help!
Through the use of hypnosis, people's perceptions can be re-framed to enable healing of
damaged relationships or stabilization of relationships that are basically healthy and positive.
To follow our example of the home with teens, through hypnosis, parents can "revisit" their own
adolescence, get back in touch with the paradoxical feelings teens grapple with, and regain an
appreciation for what an incredible stage of human development adolescence is. This allows
parents to gain a sensitive perspective of who their teenagers are, who they are attempting to
become, and the obstacles they encounter along the way. Teens, using hypnosis, can
"experience" their parents as young people who faced many of the issues they are facing. This
visualization permits the adolescent to understand her/his parents as products of past
experiences and perceptions. These principles apply to other situations as well. Hypnosis
allows people to "redo" key events, to look at situations from a completely different
perspective, to gain an appreciation for another's position, or to recapture lost feelings of love,
care and commitment, thus allowing healing to occur in the here and now.

JOB PERFORMANCE IMPROVED THROUGH HYPNOTHERAPY
Job performance, and related career advancement, certainly can be improved
and expedited through hypnotherapy. Because a program must, of necessity,
have many facets, the task is likely to be complex. Therapy can involve
relaxation, learning, self-esteem and self-confidence, motivation, attitude
modification, organizational planning, time management, inter personal
relationships, sales techniques and other elements.
The hypnotherapist must determine which areas show serious deficiencies.
Self-confidence, of course, is all important. If you believe you can do better, you
will do better. To achieve success in utilizing hypnosis, concentration is essential.
It has been said that genius is the result of the ability to superconcentrate - to
use more mind-power than the small fraction used by humans in their daily lives.
We cannot read, talk, watch television and listen to others effectively all at the
same time. We need to concentrate - to be able to focus our thinking and
attention on the matter at hand to achieve the best results.
In the process of removing obstacles and enhancing strengths the
hypnotherapist will teach a client self-hypnosis, which will enable him to focus
attention-power on his job or the specific task at hand, improving performance,
gaining recognition and earning advancement.

Hypnosis is a phenomenon that is a universal human experience; therefore, it is
natural. We experience hypnosis on a daily basis. In a 24 hour cycle we continually
drift in and out of trance; this is called waking trance. While in trance an individual
becomes highly receptive to suggestions. The unconscious mind is similar to the hard
drive on a computer. It is the emotional non-critical mind. Every event and every
corresponding emotion associated with that event is stored in the unconscious mind.
The conscious mind, on the other hand, is similar to the ram power on a computer.
This is about 5% of the computer's drive. The conscious mind is critical, ethical,
judgmental and protective. Jung often referred to the conscious mind as a cork
floating in an ocean. Hypnosis is the key to entering the unconscious mind. Hypnosis,
and all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, is an altered state of consciousness that allows the
by-passing of the critical conscious mind/ The conscious mind is still active insofar as
there is no loss of consciousness in hypnosis. The unconscious mind becomes more
active in trance and the conscious mind becomes more passive. Watching TV,
listening to music, daydreaming, reading and driving can all be common every day
hypnotic experiences. Anytime that an individual experiences time distortion, hypnosis
is experienced!
