Hypnosis is a terrific problem-solving tool. It is the only direct route to the subconscious...and...the subconscious is where we keep all the little habits that we never think about.
Because hypnosis is the direct route to the subconscious mind, it is one of the easiest and most effective ways to change destructive, counterproductive or self-sabotaging beliefs and behavior and to begin NEW patterns that are more productive.
How does Hypnosis work?
As the subconscious mind is where our patterns are stored, getting into a relaxed state of mind and letting go of all judgments about the problem enables solutions to easily present themselves. The relaxed state of mind also allows us to create new, more productive ways to live our lives.
What is Hypnosis Like?
Hypnosis is nothing more than a relaxed state of focused attention, similar to daydreaming. You feel very relaxed, calm and at peace, like taking a short relaxing vacation. Contrary to the popular myth, the hypnotist doesn't control you. You're in full control at all times in hypnosis. Your hypnotherapist is your personal guide, who is highly trained to aid you to reach your goals. You can't be made to do anything against your morals, ethics, or beliefs under hypnosis. You can't be made to divulge secrets you don't want to tell. You're not "out" or unconscious, either (like you would be under anesthesia.) Instead, you're just as aware as you are when reading a really good book, daydreaming, or watching a beautiful sunset.
What if I can't be Hypnotized?
Anyone of at least average intelligence can be hypnotized. And in fact, the more intelligent you are, the more easily you can be hypnotized.
What Hypnosis isn't.
Hypnosis is not mind control. (in fact it's quite the opposite! The hypnotized person is in MORE control than in the waking state.) Being hypnotized requires your willingness. Your values remain intact in all states of awareness, whether awake, asleep or in a state of hypnosis.
What is Coaching? What is Life Coaching? Is there a difference between Life Coaching and Results Coaching?
What is Coaching?
In the area of Life and Results Coaching, Coaching might be defined loosely as helping you to determine what area of your life is currently not producing the results you want, and then determining how to get you those results. Our job as coaches is to support you to cultivate, maximize and make use of your existing skills, talents, capabilities and creativity.
After identifying what your goals are, and the steps you'll need to take to get there, we support you through the victories, as well as through the obstacles, to reach your goal.
Life Coaching
Basically looks at any one area of a client’s life, and what’s missing, and what you would LIKE this area to be like, and supports you to chart a course that will bring these changes about.
Results Coaching
As its name implies, Results Coaching has as its goal getting YOU the results you want. We are BOTH life and results coaches.
Often, Results Coaching is a shorter length of time, as your goal is ONE result. As opposed to Life Coaching, which is aiming to make specific changes in one AREA of one's life.
We use the most effective tools available. Those include NLP, Guided Imagery, Hypnosis, and other participatory learning exercises and techniques to help you help yourself.
