August 21, 2014 New Beginnings

It is good to be back to my practice.  Though the circumstances were far from ideal,  it has been a time of real personal growth for me, and I feel that quite a bit of it will also be of great benefit to my clients.  I had two choices; I could let the loss of my partner do me in, or I could let it be an opportunity for higher knowledge and expansion.  Pretty sure there was never an option for a middle ground.

I chose expansion.  I am glad that I did.  

I had a good talk with someone today who asked me about what I do. What I actually do. I do not psychoanalyze people. Sometimes knowing why you do what you do, does not change the behavior. Sometimes too much focus on a particular problem or issue can actually reinforce it. Things do need to be acknowledged and understood to a degree, no doubt.  It is not about ignoring what may be negative.  But it is a perspective shift on the entire issue that will allow a person the most growth. So what does help? How do we get that to happen?  As I have said before “People will make changes when the desire for change becomes greater that the desire to hold on to something. And this is where inspiration comes in.” A complete perspective shift on what is going on deep inside the subconscious and all the way up from that.

It always comes back to the transformative magic of being suitably INSPIRED, for any shift in perspective to take place.  This is the singular and most effective way to make a positive change in any aspect of life.  

So how do I know what will be the right way to inspire someone? I know by mostly just LISTENING to people. Usually what they really want - the thing that they truly desire, they find the way to tell me, in some way.  And they also usually know how they want to do it.  Often this is information is located, of course, in their subconscious.  But it finds ways to make itself known.

My job as a hypnotherapist is to listen very hard to to what is said.   And what is not said.  You, the client, tell me your story and I figure out a bridge to the solution, based on you.  When we meet in person for our session, I work with you in a completely individualized and tailored way. Never based on anyone else, only on you.  Everyone is very unique and I honor that.  This is why I only work with clients one at a time.  I do not do group Hypnosis.

The effectiveness of Hypnosis and it's therapeutic value can not be discounted.  And it is more often than not; a fun thing to do! It is not often that any of us go in for self improvement and find joy.  
And that is a shame.  
Because if you think about it; why not?  
Why must it be a grim undertaking?  Why can’t it be fun?  Transformation of ourselves is one of the most spectacular, wonderful and meaningful things that we can do as human beings, and we are all capable of doing it.  All of us.  And once we have made the changes we desire, we can then, by example, help to inspire others.  
And that is pure joy right there!

   Photo: Frank Loddenkemper   Greetings! Such a long time since my last blog entry. However, the musings on hypnosis have not stopped for me. Nor has my work assisting people going through their own trials and tribulations.   Since the time I last wrote, I lost my beloved mom and dealt with a very long and harrowing illness of my dad and I also lost a dear friend. Like everybody else, I watched with horror as a deadly virus invaded and upended all of our lives and finally, this summer,  survived a fire at my previous home. Safe to say: it's been an enormously challenging few years. Throughout it all, I discovered and keep discovering all the ways our own minds can either help us or hurt us when things get rough.  You know that old cliche...the question about the glass being half-full or half empty? Well the thing that strikes me about that, is that both assessments are true. That's right. Both. At once. But if you are only allowed one answer if asked that question, then you ha

  Artist: Vladimir Ku sh  Happy April.  The most painfully exquisite month of all. Now April has been called “The Cruelest Month” and for me personally, I could surely believe this. But I am choosing to see it’s beauty instead. As I have said in so many different ways from my very first blog entry here….its is all what we tell ourselves... which comes from how we look at things...the  language and way we use to describes things, even to ourselves….changing our perception deep down; changes the reality. Changing the reality, changes how it makes us feel.  This is not the same thing as ignoring reality! I came across a study recently, I don’t think it is a new one, it has been put forth in various ways…. Unfortunately, for this one  I did not bookmark it, so I don’t have the exact statistics….but bear with me; because you’ll get the somewhat brilliant point just the same! A bunch of people were asked the question: “ Is it ok to have a cocktail while you

Photo by Donna Sherman As many of you know,  I took some time away from my practice this past summer. As I tell all of my clients;  you can never underestimate the value of isolating any issue and examining it fully.   When a decision is made to do this, change and evolution can flow.   I took a very deep look at my own strengths this summer.  And that means, of course, examining areas of weakness as well .   Going forward, “How can I best serve my clients?”  was the question foremost on my mind.  To answer that - I looked at my own passions.    I was drawn to hypnosis first and foremost as a means for personal discovery and growth.  And it is in this arena where I am at my most effective and can, indeed, serve my clients in the best ways possible.   The field of hypnosis is enormous and most fascinating.  It is like a mountain with infinite pathways leading upwards…. Different kinds of paths, different kinds of journeys.  So many things to experience and le
