Part 1: What Happens in a Hypnotherapy Session?



What happens in a hypnotherapy session?
Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy introduction process

I’ve first talked to you by phone or in person to see what you are coming in for and we have already talked about price, time etc.

When you arrive at my office I welcome you and give you some paperwork to fill out which basically consists of an intake form with your contact information and a few questions to help me know you a little better.

We sit together to talk a little more in depth about what you want , what you expect out of the session, your goals, and anything that you think is stopping you from reaching them.
I’ll ask you if you have experienced hypnosis before and how it was for you. I might ask you for words that you like or that you respond well to.
If necessary I’ll give you a brief synopsis about how hypnosis works and how it can help you..
And I might ask you how nutrition and exercise are managed in your life.

Then we will go through a short easy exercise to see how your suggestibility is today (it can change)
This might be having you imagine in your mind’s eye an object like a balloon rising and seeing how you respond to it. Something very simple with no right or wrong response.

Sleep Like A Baby Naturally
















"Oh sleep it is a gentle thing beloved from pole to pole."


Shakespeare

Sleep deprivation has measurable negative effects on performance and physical and mental health. If you haven't had a good night's sleep, you're likely to pay for it. The price may be high: Reduced energy, greater difficulty concentrating, diminished mood, and greater risk for accidents, including fall-asleep crashes. Work performance and relationships can suffer too. And pain may be intensified by the physical and mental consequences of lack of sleep.

There is no question that your health is affected by a lack of sleep. It is a chicken and egg syndrome. A number of conditions may influence or coexist with insomnia; which include psychiatric or medical disorders, as well as life events such as menopause and trauma.

Although the jury is still out as to the primary reason we need sleep the following things are scientifically proven:

• Lack of sleep affects the immune system, brain and body systems.

• Sleep gives the body a chance to repair muscles and other tissues, replace aging or dead cells, and secret chemicals important to the immune system.

• Sleep gives the brain a chance to organize and archive memories.

• Dreams are thought by some to be part of this process. When the brain is tired, it secretes a hormone, which alerts the organism that it has been burning up its energy reserves and needs to shut down for a while.

• Sleep lowers our energy consumption, so we need three meals a day rather that four or five. Since we can't do anything in the dark anyway, we might as well turn off and save the energy

With a good night's sleep, everything looks and feels better in the morning. Both the brain and the body are refreshed and ready for a new day. You’ll be more patient with your family, friends and co-workers!

Tapas Acupressure Technique® (TAT®) Frequently Asked Questions




Q: What's TAT® good for?

A: In short, TAT has been shown to be effective for ending stress, especially traumatic stress; freeing a person of allergic reactions; gaining self-confidence and a positive outlook on life; and attaining empowerment.

Q: Will I re-live my trauma and feel pain again with TAT®?

A: It has been our experience that you may very occasionally feel an intensifying of feeling, but it usually lasts for only 10-15 seconds.

Q: How many times do I have to do a session on one trauma?

A: It has been our experience that generally one session is all you need. Sometimes related events will come to mind and then you would do TAT about those, but the original trauma you worked on clears and the stress is easily gone.

Q: Are there any side effects from doing TAT®?

A: Occasionally you may feel tired after doing TAT. A good night's sleep will take care of it. Also, remember to drink plenty of water after doing TAT and limit your time in the pose to 20 minutes a day. TAT moves a lot of energy and doing these things will help facilitate the clearing process while maintaining your vibrancy.

Q: Is it normal to sigh when something clears?

A: Yes, although this doesn't happen for everyone and that's normal too.

Q: After a few seconds in the pose, my mind begins to wander. What does that mean?

A: It means you're done with that step.

Q: Do I have to be a trained professional to do TAT® on myself?

A: No, anyone can do TAT on themselves.

Q: How will I know if TAT® has worked?

A: When you do TAT to clear up a belief, you may not be able to sense an immediate change. You may only notice the change when life presents a situation and you respond differently than before you did TAT.

You are more likely to notice a change when you do TAT to heal a situation or trauma that is currently causing you stress. In this situation, you may feel a sense of immediate relaxation, inner peace and empowerment upon completion of TAT. In some cases, you may feel no change and will have to wait and how you behave and feel according to the life situations that occur. Eventually, life will present you with an event, and you will look back and be amazed that you have responded in a more healthy, empowered way than before you did TAT.
