Whatever your goals for the coming year are, hypnotherapy is a wonderful tool for success. If you have found yourself making the same resolutions year after year and not meeting those expectations, perhaps it is time now to make a commitment to yourself by scheduling an appointment and finding out how to actualize your intentions.

Isn’t it time that you put yourself at the top of your own list of priorities? Many people are operating under the cultural trance that programs us to believe that to do this is ‘selfish.’ However, please consider the fact that if you are taking care of yourself you will actually have more time, focus, and energy available for others. It is when we allow ourselves to be pulled in so many directions and our energies become scattered that we lose the ability to muster our own internal resources to meet goals. Then we lose confidence in ourselves, lose self-esteem, lose energy, motivation, and belief in our ability to succeed. To learn to take care of yourself first, to prevent this from happening, is self-responsible, not selfish.

Hypnotherapy is the most effective tool available to us for focusing our energies, strengthening our intentions, and clearing out all the hidden and self-defeating internal programming that sabotages our efforts to do the right thing for ourselves. It is not a magic wand, but it is a powerful technique that will empower you to accomplish your intentions. It is also fun to do, and is a skill that, once learned, can be applied to many different issues throughout the rest of your life.

So, are you ready to make 2002 the year you actually succeed in meeting your resolutions? If you are ready to seize the day, then call for an appointment and let’s get started making your dreams a reality. If not today, when?

Many people wonder why I offer a program for the issues of smoking cessation and weight management. First let me explain what the programs consist of, then I will explain my philosophy behind my approach. Both of these programs consist of a series of four sessions, and in exchange for a commitment to the four sessions, I include at no additional cost, a support tape and a journal workbook to support your journey toward meeting these goals. The tapes and journal workbooks are especially tailored to these specific issues, though there are many features in common.

Smoking and over-eating are usually deeply ingrained behavior patterns that have a complex of associated sub-conscious programming which needs to be surfaced and neutralized in order for the will to be effective in meeting the goals of either quitting the behavior in the case of smoking, or reducing and modifying the behavior in the case of over-eating. Although I do believe that a few people can attain the success they are seeking in less than four sessions, the majority do require a more comprehensive program in order to fully achieve the results they are looking for, and for the results to be deeply set for a long lasting effect. I do not use negative suggestions in order to achieve results, as I feel that it is much more beneficial to use positive goal orientation rather than fear-based reprogramming. An example of this would be to allow the client to experience a state of being free of the habit and all the benefits this would bring, as opposed to having the client experience the negative consequences of continuing the habit to its inevitable conclusions. This is why it is important to know what the philosophy is of the person you are working with. This is also why individual sessions in a one on one basis are generally going to be more successful than seminar type programs.

One component of both of these issues, and many other issues revolving around habit behavior, is the issue of stress reduction. I consider it a primary responsibility to educate about the effects of stress and the role it plays in these matters, as well as to teach relaxation techniques which will provide lasting benefits throughout every aspect of my clients’ lives. It is my goal to empower each and every client to use viable tools to address their issues on their own into the future.
