 Familiar Hypnosis Applications

I have designed many applications of hypnosis at the Palmer Smoking Clinic, smoking, sports performance and weight loss being the most familiar. The following programs are excellent examples of what hypnosis can accomplish. Each of the programs are 1 and 1/2 hours long and include a practice CD to work with after your clinic visit.

(I'm well aware that you can purchase hypnosis programs for every imaginable malady over the internet. Many of the applications are patently ridicules. Do they harm anyone? I doubt it. They just create more people who think hypnosis doesn't work or it's a sham. Working directly with my clients on their specific problem has always been the best way to do it. It's not always a quick fix. That should make sense to most. If you want to take advantage of what hypnosis really can do, you need a good guide. The role of the hypnotist is to familiarize the client with the hypnosis process, explain how each application works for them and instruct them how to work with the process after they leave the office.)

Performance Anxiety:
nervous speakerIt's a broad category but it includes areas like public speaking, test taking, the performing arts and any other situation where the pressure turns you into a basket case. Choking under pressure has been around since the beginning of time and so has our fascination and admiration for those few who don't seem to be bothered by it. In more modern times we have tried to understand how they do it. Today, we can show you color pictures of the brain of a top professional at work and an amateur in identical situations and guess what! They are different!
Hypnosis is a prefect vehicle for preparing the mind for those situations, and you can do this preparation in the comfort of my office and then your own lounge chair at home.
Stress:
Again a broad category and similar to performance anxiety but on a more common day to day experience level. We are all under stress, aren't we? Some have found ways to deal with it but many more watch their mental and physical health deteriorate because they have no clue how to cope with stress.
Hypnosis has been used for stress reduction and management for decades because reducing stress is a natural byproduct of the hypnosis process.
Using hypnosis to relax and dump the stress is such an easy application, it's a wonder everybody isn't doing it. Oh I know why. We have drugs to help you relax and change your mood. Hypnosis takes a little practice, some guidance and then learning how to continue the hypnosis on your own. It's all natural, with no side effects and that appeals to many.
Phobias:

Phobias occur for a variety of reasons, some make sense especially if you have had a bad experience and others appear out of nowhere. In either case hypnosis has been an good tool for restoring your normal concern or apprehension of a situation. Making your fears manageable is how this application works.
Pain Management:
Working with pain is one of the oldest hypnosis applications. It's not a miracle cure but a way to use your mind's natural ability to help the body cope with pain. Hypnosis has been used in natural child birth, dentistry, with burn patients, and to speed up post-operative recovery, just to name a few applications. Just how hypnosis works with pain is an area that has been a mystery and a surprise for over one hundred years. It appears that hypnosis can help direct the body's natural abilities to heal itself.
Past Life Memories:
For almost ten years, I participated in various research studies that involved past life hypnotic regression. Gaining reference in the movie "Beyond and Back" , the dubious distinction of an article in the National Enquirer and a lecture at the First International UFO Conference on hypnotizing abductees are but a few of my credentials in this area. I was a skeptic, I wanted hard evidence, I read many remarkable stories of regular people having past life memories while being hypnotized. Was it all true? Was It a hoax? Well, I'm still not quit sure what our subjects were giving us, that's why the book on the subject never got written. What I can tell you is hundreds of folks had memories, some quit remarkable in detail about people and places they weren't familiar with before the hypnosis. This program is office visit only but you are given a CD to continue working with your memories after your visit. This is the same procedure used on 1600 subjects to help them recall events many thought were evidence of having lived before.

An office session is $250.00 for 1 1/2 hours and a custom CD. Call to discover what else hypnosis can do for you.

New for 2008, many hypnosis programs can be ordered and a custom CD made. Orders outside the USA welcome. Go to Order Form or Call for details.
