What happens in a session?
I start by putting you into a relaxed state of hypnosis. In this state, we can access your subconscious mind and revisit key moments in your past that contributed to the formation of your most deeply held beliefs, the beliefs that drive your actions in the present.
The aim is to give new meaning to these scenes in your life and to challenge previous interpretations of them. We consider three or four scenes and work together to understand their meaning for you. I then provide your mind with suggestions, which lead to new beliefs that are more in line with what you truly want for yourself.
​
The mind learns by repetition, so I will give you a personalized recording of these suggestions to listen to every day. Soon after, you will have remade yourself by generating new patterns of thought that lead to new patterns of behavior.
