Hypnosis based offerings
Have you ever had the experience of being completely transported by a piece of music or a good book? These experiences are examples of natural hypnotic experiences. When you learn to use imaginative experiences to reach your goals, often solutions become more apparent and easier to achieve. Hypnosis can help you understand and gain more control over your behavior, emotions, and physical well-being. There are countless ways to use hypnosis to reach your goals. Here are some of my offerings. Please feel free to call with any questions you might have.
Hypnosis is a valuable tool in the recovery from depression and anxiety. Imagine learning to change self-defeating habits and thoughts with a relaxed and focused mind. In as little as 1 to 12 sessions, you will learn how to relax your body's response to stress and focus on the thoughts and experiences that will help you reach your goals. In a typical session, we will go over a detailed history of your struggles with your mood and allow you to try hypnosis in the first appointment. I will also develop a self-hypnosis recording that you can use in-between appointments. You will quickly learn to gain perspective on your experiences, change thinking patterns that no longer serve you, and enjoy newfound optimism and resilience.
Hypnosis for depression & anxiety
Hypnosis
for habit change
Many of us have habits that we don't feel good about. Perhaps you've wanted to lose weight once and for all or stop smoking. Hypnosis is a gentle, targeted process that will help you stay focused on your goals, eliminate negative thinking patterns, learn skills to combat cravings, help you reach a healthy weight, and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. You will receive a self-hypnosis recording to support the positive changes you create.
Hypnosis for chronic pain & illness
If you suffer from chronic pain, it can impact almost every aspect of your life. Often traditional medical care for pain is limited in effectiveness or has unpleasant side effects. Current research has proven that hypnosis can help people manage chronic pain. When combining hypnotherapy for pain management with training in self-hypnosis, most people report marked improvement in their experience of pain and a significant positive change in their mood.
Through hypnosis, freedom from pain and symptoms is possible. This approach can help you get your quality of life back on track.
~Hypnosis for weight loss client
“I am a hard-driving business person and did not want to spend my time and money on years of psychotherapy. I struggled with my weight for years and tried every diet out there. As a last-ditch effort, I made an appointment with Kathy for hypnosis. Somehow she understood my personality style and guided me through the process. Most of the time, I heard everything she said, I left feeling relaxed and motivated. I ate in a way that made sense to me-no more crazy plans. I decided not to use a scale, I didn’t weigh or measure my food. I’m down 3 sizes, and my bloodwork is normal. I’ve told everyone about my success. Try hypnosis.
~Hypnosis for pain management client
I‘ve had chronic hip pain for years. Due to renal damage, I cannot take NSAIDs. I called Kathy for help. She gently guided me to focus my attention on the pain-free parts of my body. With her gentle encouragement, I found imaginative solutions to lower my experience of pain. The process helped me regain my confidence and develop skills to get through necessary and painful physical therapy to prepare for a hip replacement. I went through the surgery well with minimal use of pain meds. The skills will be with me for a lifetime.
