Hypnotherapy & Personal Growth


In the year that I took the course my life has just been amazing. Applying all the techniques that Michael taught I was able to create my dream job, dream relationship with an amazing man, my dream car, and I got to enjoy the process along the way."Each of us have the resources inside ourselves to accomplish our desires in life. These resources simply need to be accessed, placed in the appropriate context and then directed to achieve an outcome. In effect, our current personal beliefs and behaviors are a result of what in hypnosis is referred to as a post hypnotic suggestion.

A post hypnotic suggestion is a suggestion that relies on a trigger or stimulus to activate the mind in performing the behavior suggested - often times well after the time the suggestion was given. Most of us have heard of the post hypnotic suggestion "When I snap my fingers, you will cluck like a chicken". While hypnotists are quite effective in giving and having others carry out their suggestions, Life and our experiences are the greatest hypnotists. For example there is no difference to the above referenced chicken suggestion to that of "If someone shows me their middle finger, then I must get angry". Contrary to common beliefs, hypnosis is a very natural state of mind and is achieved at a minimum of twice a day. Hypnosis is simply a state of focused attention, and life offers plenty of opportunities to focus attention. Hypnosis is also the vehicle in which we open up communication with the unconscious portions of our minds - where all learning, behavior, and change takes place. If these things were solely a conscious decision we would be 100% successful in making radical changes in behavior by simply willing them to be so.

The use of hypnosis in a therapeutic environment simply uses the same language to achieve states of consciousness that the brain was naturally successful in using to program itself - with one major difference. The trance state created now is with a purposeful and directed outcome in mind. This makes hypnosis an effective and useful tool to overcome limitations in our growth and opens us up to maximize potential.

Our Neuro-Linguistic Hypnotherapy™ program particularly addresses the versatility of hypnosis - as we teach you how to successfully use it in normal conversation to the deepest levels of trance. This versatility of use can eliminate the fears associated with hypnosis. Now, more people can reap the rewards of the power that is within them without the need to be unconscious or feel out of control during the process.
