A comparative study reported by American Health Magazine found the following success rates: PSYCHOANALYSIS 38% OVER 600 SESSIONS TALK THERAPY 72% WITHIN 22 SESSIONS HYPNOTHERAPY 93% WITHIN 6 SESSIONS Study by Alfred A. Barrios, PhD, "Toward Understanding the Effectiveness of Hypnotherapy: A Combined Clinical, Theoretical, and Experimental Approach", UCLA Fast facts about hypnosis and hypnotherapy Hypnosis is a heightened state of focus, in which the conscious mind is in a relaxed state while the subconscious is best receptive to suggestions. People refer to hypnosis as a state where one can intensely concentrate while blocking out distractions. What is hypnosis like. Imagine being comfortably sitting in a completely relaxed state, as you listen to individualized suggestions that are specifically based on your goals. Many of my clients describe hypnosis and hypnotherapy as a mental massage. Hypnosis does not involve mind control or sleep. You are in control at all times while in hypnosis. All your senses are awake and alert and you are aware of everything that is being said. There are no pendulums. Hypnotherapy is very different from what you may have seen on a stage show. That kind of hypnosis is for entertainment and is completely different from therapeutic hypnosis, that is done as a way of creating positive change. Everyone has the ability to be hypnotized. Hypnosis is a very natural process that we all experience for a few minutes everyday before we fall asleep. The most creative and intelligent people are usually the best subjects. Frequently Asked Questions about hypnotherapy Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Los Angeles What is a hypnotherapist? It is commonly believed that hypnotherapists are similar to other mental health professionals. Hypnotherapy, however, is a unique modality with its own scope and modalities. Unlike psychologists and medical doctors, a hypnotherapist is the only professional specifically trained to work in the area of hypnosis. Technically, a hypnotherapist is a professional specifically trained to support vocational and avocational self-improvement via the use of hypnosis. However, hypnotherapists can also work beyond their scope by way of referrals from doctors, dentists, and psychologists. A well-trained hypnotherapist understands that clients heal themselves. Hence, a hypnotherapist acts more like a coach or a guide that holds a positive and powerful vision for his clients—a vision so contagious that it is projected outward, a vision so persuasive that the client can't help but be absorbed in it. When these conditions are met, change becomes inevitable, and therapist and client can co-create a beautiful new reality. How does hypnotherapy work? When you are in a hypnotic state, your conscious mind is relaxed. This allows the hypnotherapist to work directly with your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind holds all of our "programming", much like the operating system of a computer. You can "know" in your conscious mind that you want to make a change and be determined to make that change, but if your operation system is programmed to keep doing what you are doing, it will be nearly impossible to make a lasting change unless you change the programming. That's precisely what hypnotherapy helps with. When you change the subconscious programming, the behavior automatically follows. How is clinical hypnotherapy different than mental health counseling or life coaching? While clinical hypnosis requires education, training, and certification, it doesn't replace therapy or medical care. Mental health professionals treat conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and panic attacks, mood disorders, and more. Hypnotherapy can still help people with these conditions, but I always recommend consulting with a licensed therapist first if you're struggling with your mental health. Life coaches generally help people come up with action plans to reach their goals. Unlike therapists or certified hypnotherapists, no training or credentials are required. Hypnotherapists help people identify negative thinking patterns and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck. We then use the power of hypnotic suggestion to make positive shifts toward more helpful thought patterns and beliefs. How can I find a good hypnotherapist in Los Angeles? Finding the best hypnotherapist in Los Angeles is all about personal fit. While credentials are important, you want to make sure that you feel comfortable with whoever you choose since you'll be dealing with challenging topics. That's why I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to all potential new clients. This will give us the chance to get to know each other and decide whether we're the right fit. How much can a hypnotherapist charge? Hypnotherapists in Los Angeles usually charge between $300-$500. However, each certified hypnotherapist sets their own rates. You can learn more about my rates here. What happens in the first hypnotherapy session? In the first session, we will go into detail discussing the issue or issues you want to focus on and what your goals are. We will get very specific on what the positive outcome you'd like to achieve through hypnotherapy is. We will then have a brief conversation about hypnotherapy and how the mind works. After that, I will conduct some simple tests that will help me determine your suggestibility, which is how you process information and accept suggestions. Finally, I will put you into a very relaxed hypnotic state and conduct your hypnotherapy session based upon your goals and the issues you want to focus on. I will then awaken you to a fully awake and aware state, feeling refreshed and deeply relaxed. The day after your session, you will receive an email with the audio recording of your hypnosis session to listen to at home and reinforce the therapeutic effects.

Why invest in hypnotherapy? Can anyone be hypnotized? I went to a hypnotherapist once before and it didn’t work. Does this mean I cannot be hypnotized? Will I be asleep? Do some people get "stuck" in a trance? Will I do things I don't want to or be totally under your control? Will I lose control of my mind or reveal personal secrets? Will I remember everything afterwards? Are there any side effects? Can hypnosis help me quit smoking or lose weight? What can hypnosis help me with? Why hypnosis? What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming? What Is TimeLine Therapy? Anchor 1 What is hypnosis? Hypnosis is a heightened state of focus and suggestibility in which the body and conscious mind are in a naturally relaxed state while the subconscious mind remains very alert and receptive to positive suggestions for change. People often refer to hypnosis as a state where one can concentrate intensely while blocking out distractions. In hypnotherapy, we simply deal with how an undesired behavior can be unlearned and how a desired one can be learned to replace it. What we do is simply reprogram your subconscious mind to make it congruent with what you want consciously. Therapeutic hypnosis is a tool used to bypass the critical analysis of your mind so that the suggestions for change can be accepted and then incorporated into a new “automatic” behavior. Like they do with a computer, we reprogram your subconscious mind and create new positive associations that will help you achieve the goal you haven’t been able to achieve by yourself so far. [ back to top ] What is a hypnotherapist? It is commonly believed that hypnotherapists are similar to other mental health professionals, like psychologists. Hypnotherapy, however, is a unique modality with with its own scope and preparation. Technically, a hypnotherapist is a professional specifically trained to support vocational and avocational self-improvement via the use of hypnosis. However, hypnotherapists can also work beyond their scope by way of referrals from doctors, dentists, and psychologists. A well-trained hypnotherapist understands that clients heal themselves. Hence, the therapists acts more like a coach or a guide that holds a positive and powerful vision for his clients—a vision so contagious that it is projected outward, a vision so persuasive that the client can't help but be absorbed by it. When these conditions are met, change becomes inevitable, and therapist and client will co-create a beautiful new reality. [ back to top ] Why invest in hypnotherapy? Initiating change at the conscious level can be very difficult. The conscious mind makes up only around 10-12% of our total mind power. By contrast, the subconscious mind encompasses the other 88-90%. This vast portion of our mind houses the unconscious story or programming that influences virtually everything we do. If it isn't congruent with our conscious desires, it is not hard to see which part of the mind will get its way. Because hypnotherapy is the art of rewriting unconscious programs, it is very effective at turning the subconscious mind into a powerful “goal machine” that works behind the scenes, 24/7, to create positive, lasting changes in our lives. To get an idea of hypnotherapy's efficacy, see this comparison study published in Psychotherapy Magazine (Volume 7, Number 1, Alfred A Barrios, PhD): Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions [ back to top ] Can anyone be hypnotized? Yes. Everyone has the ability to be hypnotized. Hypnosis is a very normal process that we all experience for a few minutes everyday before we fall asleep. Everyone who is willing to relax and enjoy the benefits of hypnosis can be hypnotized. Anyone who can follow directions can be hypnotized. The most creative and intelligent people are usually the best subjects. [ back to top ] I went to a hypnotherapist once before and it didn’t work. Does this mean I cannot be hypnotized? Hypnosis is a natural state that we have access to all day long. When you drive down the road and miss a turn or get lost in a movie or your favorite song, those are all states of hypnosis. The most common reason for failure to induce trance is lack of rapport and explanation of the state, or a hypnotherapist without proper training who is using incomplete methods. Always check with the background of a new hypnotherapist before committing to a session. [ back to top ] Will I be asleep? Historically, the word Hypnosis comes from Greek origin meaning a “sleep-like state”. However you will not be asleep, nor will you be unconscious. You will be aware of everything that is happening and that is being said the whole time. You will be entirely focused on increasing your motivation, your beliefs in what is possible, your confidence and your self-esteem. Although the words “deep sleep” may be used during our sessions, you will hear everything that is being said: this is your clue to the fact that you are in the hypnotic state rather than sleep. [ back to top ] Do some people get "stuck in a trance"? No. You are only in a state of very deep relaxation and you can leave that state whenever you want to. It is impossible to get “stuck”. All hypnotic state ends, whether formally ended by the Hypnotherapist or naturally by you. [ back to top ] Will I do things I don't want to or be totally under your control? Absolutely not. Hypnosis works on the basis of positive suggestions. Whilst you may fall into a dreamlike state, your mind is still in control and will reject any suggestions that you would normally consider inappropriate. You are not in anyone's power and you cannot be controlled in any way. The people you see on stage shows are all "willing volunteers" whose eagerness to entertain others is the basis of their apparent programmed behavior. You cannot be made to do anything against your will; no one can be made to do anything or say anything that conflicts with his or her personal and ethical standards or morals. [ back to top ] Will I lose all control of my mind or reveal personal secrets? No, you won’t say or do anything that you don’t want to. While hypnosis can be used for personal benefit, it cannot cause you to say or do anything against your free will or ethics. Therapeutic hypnosis is specifically used to improve your health and well-being and is different from stage hypnosis that is used for entertainment purposes only. You will not start clucking like a chicken or break out in a Michael Jackson dance. If you were given suggestions that you don’t morally agree with, you would come out of hypnosis and your mind would mentally block those suggestions. Hypnosis is not a control state, it is an agreeable state for the mind and body to shift its perspective in life. [ back to top ] Will I remember everything afterwards? Most people do remember either everything or certain parts of the experience, depending on how deep your mind goes. You will find that suggestions which have been given to you in hypnosis will resurface in your conscious, thinking mind after your session and these will be the thoughts that produce positive changes in your behavior or way of thinking and feeling. [ back to top ] Are there any negative side effects? There are no negative side effects. Most people find the experience to be extremely positive, beneficial and empowering. Hypnosis is considered safe no matter what your condition. I always ensure that you and are in a positive, relaxed and motivated state at the end of each session. [ back to top ] Can hypnosis help me quit smoking or lose weight? Yes. Habits are controlled by the subconscious mind. Since hypnosis accesses the subconscious mind, your behavior can be modified to benefit you by replacing old beliefs or behaviors you no longer need or want with new ones you desire. All behaviors are a learned response. If you learned them, you can unlearn them. [ back to top ] What can hypnosis help me with? Weight loss, relationship enhancement, self-esteem and self-confidence, positive attitude, motivation, goals and success achievement, fears (flying, public speaking, heights, success or failure, animals, doctors, dentist, etc.), habit control (stop smoking, stop nail biting, etc.), sports and performance enhancement, test taking, stress reduction, pain management, releasing negative emotions (anger, fear, sadness, guilt, etc.), spiritual growth, and the list goes on and on... [ back to top ] Why hypnosis? Because it works! With hypnosis, you can access the subconscious mind to release and discover core issues causing symptoms of stress, fears, phobias, anxiety, etc. Studies have found that subconscious thoughts and beliefs are eight to nine times more powerful than conscious awareness. Thus when you change the subconscious thought process, you are tapping eight to nine times more power over your life than conscious determination would allow. Here are powerful reasons to use hypnosis to better your life: ▶ EMOTIONAL BENEFITS: Stress Management, Confidence & Self-Esteem, Eliminate Fears & Phobias ▶ PHYSICAL BENEFITS: Weight Control, Pain Management, Insomnia, Athletic Skills & Performance ▶ MENTAL BENEFITS: Overcome Sabotage, Eliminate Procrastination, Improve Memory, Goal Setting ▶ BEHAVIORAL BENEFITS: Stop Smoking, Habit Control, Self Love, Communication Skills [ back to top ] What is Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP)? NLP is the study of the mind and of language and how their interplay effects on our behavior. To put it simply, it is how through our language (linguistic) we can change (program) how our mind (neuro) works. “What is it that makes the difference between somebody who is merely competent at any given skill and somebody who excels at the same skill?” Before the development of NLP, we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways. Used by leaders such as Barack Obama, Bill Gates or Tiger Woods, NLP enables a competent person to turn their old performance into one of excellence. Described as "software for your brain", it takes you to the root of understanding behavior and allows you to automatically tap into the experiences you want to have and acquire the behaviors and positive mind-sets we want. We were never given a manual on how our minds worked, but I like to think of NLP as that manual. [ back to top ] What Is Timeline Therapy? Behavioral change in an individual takes place at a subconscious level. People don’t change consciously. The Timeline Therapy process allows you to work at the subconscious level and release the effects of past negative experiences and change "inappropriate" programming in minutes rather than days, months or years. It is a revolutionary new approach, which has become so popular because of its ability to create quick, long lasting results. This powerful technique is becoming the method of choice to make fast, effective, long-term changes in behavior.

The most complete glossary available online about hypnosis, hypnotherapy and coaching. THERAPEUTIC HYPNOSIS - GLOSSARY OF TERMS > Los Angeles Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Services - Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Glossary of Terms A B C D E F H I K L M N P R S T V Anchor A Affirmations Positive suggestions given though hypnosis in order to reprogram one's life script. Alpha Slow brainwave activity state of hypnosis (resting but awake). Also known as hypnoidal. Alpha is slower (deeper) than Beta, the awake state, and faster than Theta, a deep hypnotic state. Anchor A specific stimulus such as a word, image or touch that through the rule of association evokes a particular mental, emotional, and/or physiological state. Association A process by which a subject comes to respond in a desired manner to a previously neutral stimulus that has been repeatedly presented along with a stimulus that elicits the desired response. Behavior Modification The process of changing behavior by using techniques based on learning theory. The techniques include systematic desensitization, aversion therapy, and assertion training. Beliefs Knowns in the subconscious. Beta The brainwave activity state of the normal wake state. Higher than Alpha and Theta. Body Syndromes A body syndrome is a physical manifestation of an emotional trauma. When an emotion is held in or repressed instead of being processed and released, the emotion will express itself as a physical discomfort. Catalepsy A medium depth of hypnosis, between "hypnoidal" and "somnambulism". Chunking Moving between levels of specificity. To chunk up means to move to the bigger picture, to chunk down would be getting to greater levels of specificity. Circle Therapy Used only for the extinction of fears. It is the process of having the subject repeatedly confront his/her problem while in the hypnotic state. Since anxiety and relaxation are incompatible and can't be experienced together, the anxiety will gradually disappear. After having brought up and passed the fear many times, a reversal is given that the harder they try to bring up the old fear, the more difficult it becomes. In fact, the subject will feel a new emotion ("replacement"), amusement and a tendency to smile. Conditioned Response The learned response to an indifferent stimulus, which has been attached to it by repeatedly pairing the stimulus with the reinforcer. Conscious Mind The 12% of our mind of which we are most aware. The part responsible for logic, reasoning, decision-making, and will power. Contradictory Square An example is when a person with a high IQ is in a job that does not require or will not use the high IQ. The person is in conflict or incongruence between what they ARE capable of doing and what they BELIEVE they are capable of doing. Critical Mind An area of mind that is part conscious and part subconscious. Any time a suggestion is given to a subject that is detrimental to his well-being or in total opposition to his way of thinking, it will affect critical area of mind, and he will critically reject it by abreacting. Dehypnotization The process of removing a person from a hypersuggestible state. Defense Mechanisms All defense mechanisms stem from the basic instinct of survival. They operate on an unconscious level and they serve to deny or distort reality, thoughts, and action. Some Defense Mechanisms are: Repression, Denial, Rationalization, Projection, Displacement, Turning against self, Reaction Formation, Overcompensation, Intellectualization, Withdrawal, Regression, Sublimation, and Disassociation. Delta Slowest brainwave activity pattern of sleep, and the deepest, somnambulistic state of hypnosis. Also see Alpha, Beta and Theta. Depth Hypnoidal A light stage of hypnosis, usually associated with emotional suggestibility; also used to refer to the state of consciousness which is passed through in the transition from sleep to waking, and vice versa. It is characterized by rapid eye movement (REM), with an up/down motion of the eyes. Cataleptic A medium depth of hypnosis. Characterized by a side to side movement of the eyes. Somnambulism The deepest state of hypnosis, where the client responds with amnesia, anesthesia, negative and positive hallucinations, and complete control of the senses. This type of person usually has 50% emotional suggestibility and 50% physical suggestibility. It is characterized by the eyes rolling up underneath the eyelids. Direct Suggestion Hypnotic suggestions in the form of a command, or instruction. Contrast to Inferential Suggestion. Ego Sensation Change of feeling in the physical body or part of the body. Environmental Hypnosis A state of hypersuggestibility, triggered when an individual is in the presence of an overabundance of message units coming from their environment. This causes the person to try to escape the intense input. A kind of "walking hypnosis." Extraverbal Communication Communication by physical gestures or movements that infer a suggestion to an individual, according to their interpretation. Body language is an example. Fear of Falling and Loud Noises Babies are born with only two fears, that of loud noises and of falling. All other fears are learned and can be unlearned. Fight or Flight Reaction A primitive and involuntary reaction that is triggered during danger or anxiety, in order to protect oneself or to escape from danger. Homeostasis A state of equilibrium. What the body returns to when the parasympathetic nervous system is activated to respond to the fight/flight mechanism of the sympathetic nervous system. Hypersuggestibility A state of waking hypnosis and exaggerated suggestibility to influencing factors in the environment, especially to negatives; possibly the greatest cause of all emotional and physical problems. Hypnodrama The process of acting out a role in the hypnotic state, which can be used for increasing talents or reducing the effects of earlier traumas in the client’s life. Hypnoidal A light stage of hypnosis, usually associated with Emotional suggestibility; also used to refer to the state of consciousness, which is passed through in the transition from sleep to waking, and vice versa. Hypnosis An altered state of consciousness which results in an increased receptiveness and response to suggestions. While associated with relaxation, hypnosis is actually an escape from an overload of message units, resulting in relaxation. Hypnosis can be triggered naturally from environmental stimuli as well as purposefully from an operator, often referred to as a hypnotist. Hypnotherapist A therapist who utilizes hypnosis as a primary tool for assisting clients to achieve their goals. A Hypnotherapist often differs from others therapists by focusing on the role of subconscious behaviors. Official definition of Hypnotherapist - In 1973, Dr. John Kappas, PhD and Founder of the Hypnosis Motivation Institute, wrote and defined the profession of a Hypnotherapist in the Federal Dictionary of Occupational Titles: "Induces hypnotic state in client to increase motivation or alter behavior patterns. Consults with client to determine nature of problem. Prepares client to enter hypnotic state by explaining how hypnosis works and what client will experience. Tests subject to determine degree of physical and emotional suggestibility. Induces hypnotic state in client, using individualized methods and techniques of hypnosis based on interpretation of test results and analysis of client's issue. May train client in self-hypnosis conditioning." Hypnotist A person skilled in the technique of inducing the hypnotic state in others. Hypnotists are often associated with the use of hypnosis for entertainment (stage hypnosis). Ideomotor Response A response emanating from an individual's subconscious mind via the central nervous system. Such a response is a way of avoiding judgments of the conscious mind. Examples: handwriting, index finger raise while in hypnosis. Imagery/Hypnodrama Imagery is a feeling and experiential state. Unlike visualization, which is only on the idea of "seeing" something in the mind's eye, imagery uses all five of the senses. Hypnodrama allows a subject to act out subconscious conflicts in a sage environment in an attempt to vent and resolve them. Induction The technique of hypnotizing a person. The patter used can be either maternal or paternal; either one sends message units to the brain, preparing the subject to enter the hypnotic state. Inferred Suggestion A suggestion given that contains a message other than the immediately obvious one. Usually, the underlying meaning is not immediately understood consciously by the subject, but he will have a delayed reaction to it. It is especially effective with Emotionally suggestible subjects. Knowns (Pain/Pleasure Principle) Knowns represent pleasure, in that they are things we have associated or identified before. A Known may be either positive or negative but is accepted by the Subconscious because it has been experienced before. Conversely, Unknowns represent pain, or physical or psychological threats that have not been associated or identified before. Laws of Suggestibility Reverse Action The most common law, it's sometimes referred to as Reverse Psychology. A person will respond to the stronger part of a suggestion if the alternative presented is considerably weaker. Repetition It is represented by the fact that the more we do something, the better we become at it. By repeating suggestions in hypnosis, the stronger the suggestive idea becomes. Dominance The use of authority or that of being an authority figure to "command" the client to accept a suggestion. Capitalizing on one's position as "therapist" or by using an authoritative tone are two approaches to apply the Law of Dominance. Delayed Action When a suggestion is inferred, the individual will react to it whenever a jogging condition or situation that has been used in the original suggestive idea presents itself. Association Whenever we repeatedly respond to a particular stimulus in the presence of another, we will soon begin to associate one with the other. Whenever either stimulus is present, the other is recalled. The post suggestion to re-hypnosis works under this law. Life Script Formed from the positive and negative associations we've made throughout our life and stored in our subconscious mind. This is reflected in a person's present life situation. Literal/Inferred Suggestions Literal Suggestions A direct suggestion with no underlying meaning; used primarily with Physically suggestible subjects. Inferred Suggestions A suggestion given that contains a message other than the immediately obvious one. Usually the underlying meaning is not immediately understood by the client consciously, but he/she will have a delayed reaction to it. It is especially effective with emotionally suggestible clients. Magic Five Minutes The last five minutes before sleep, when a person's mind is in a natural light state of hypnosis. Maternalism A soft, gentle, lulling approach to hypnosis. A progressive relaxation uses the maternal approach. Mental Bank A tool used to reinforce many types of therapies and speed the progress in such areas as; procrastination, motivation, goal attainment, prosperity, smoking, etc. It is a powerful means of affecting the subconscious mind using the synergistic approach of belief, daily reinforcement, scripting, time of day, and dreams. Message Units All of the input sent to the brain by the environment, the physical body, and the conscious and subconscious minds. When too many message units are received (overloading), a state of anxiety results. Misdirection Appearing to be guiding someone into one area with the intention of directing them into another. It can be used effectively as a deepening technique in hypnosis. Modalities A hypnotic modality is anything that attempts to control or modify the human behavior through the influence or creation of belief systems. Neuro Pathways Every time we think a thought, make a movement, experience something, this is transformed into electro-chemical energy which is then stored in the brain. We create pathways that allow the energy to travel in a similar fashion each time it is triggered. The more it is triggered, the easier it is for the energy to go that route. This is how habits and behavior, both good and bad, are created. Parataxic Distortion This occurs when we respond to a person or situation in a distorted way. We are not responding to the situation or person, but rather to what they subconsciously trigger in us. Paris Window Used to widen the perspective of the client, so that he or she can see their problem from more than their own viewpoint. The window is a four-paned one, where three panes contain a question for the client. The questions are, 1). How do you feel about the problem? 2). How do you think others feel about your problem? 3). How do you feel about how others feel about your problem? 4). The fourth pane contains the answer to the client's particular problem based on their newfound perspective. Paternalism The authoritarian approach to inductions and therapy, using a rapid patter with commanding, or even demanding, words. Patter A rhythmic series of words in a semi-monotone or monotone, spoken either slowly or rapidly, causing stimulation of different senses and leading to the hypnotic state. Pre-Induction Speech An introduction to hypnosis to prepare the client for the induction. It should include an explanation of hypnosis and an idea of what he/she can expect to experience in the state. It addresses any fears and misconceptions the client may have, all the while building up message units. Primitive Mind A human being's primitive brain, with which a person will react whenever threatened beyond the point where he/she can reason. This primitive brain produces the fight or flight response, the unthinking impulses of self defense, or any other rapid reactions without reason. Rapport The operator/client relationship, in which the client has faith and confidence in the operator, and the operator has concern for the client. Reactional Hypnosis Repeatedly awakening the subject and re-hypnotizing him with a post-suggestion to re-hypnosis. An effective method of achieving depth in hypnosis. Secondary Gain A reason, primarily subconscious, why a person continues to perform a certain behavior. Self-Hypnosis - Hetero-Hypnosis Self-Hypnosis A hypnotic state that is self-created. Hetero-Hypnosis A hypnotic state that is created by another person, including the listening to of tapes or CDs. Shock Induction A very rapid conversion into hypnosis. Shock inductions are primarily used only in emergencies or possibly to "jar" a client when in therapy. Somnambulism A situation where a person responds equally well to all suggestions, both direct and indirect, affecting both the body and emotions. This person would have a 50/50 Suggestibility (50% Physical Suggestible and 50% Emotional Suggestible). Stages of Loss There are five stages a person must go through to completely deal with a loss. Not every individual will display all the symptoms in the same manner. The stages are 1). Denial, 2). Anger, 3). Bargaining, 4). Grief, 5). Resolution/Acceptance. Stop Mechanism A technique used in hypnosis to call attention to a behavior or thought a client may do or have in the future. When this thought or behavior arises they will hear in their mind "NO!" The Hypnotherapist reinforces this suggestion by stating the thought or behavior the client may have, snapping their fingers and saying "NO!" to the client. This is reinforced several times with the client repeating it to themselves silently but strongly. An example would be if the client thought about lighting up a cigarette when they were trying to or had already quit. Subconscious The 88% of our mind that is mostly below the level of our awareness. The part of our mind responsible for reflexive action, ideomotor responses, and contains the positive and negative associations we've made throughout our life. Suggestibility (Emotional/Physical/Intellectual) Suggestibility is the way a person learns and processes information. Emotional Suggestibility A suggestible behavior characterized by a high degree of responsiveness to inferred suggestions affecting emotions and restriction of physical body responses; usually associated with hypnoidal depth. Thus, the Emotional person learns more by inference than by direct, literal suggestions. Physical Suggestibility A suggestible behavior characterized by a high degree of responsiveness to literal suggestions affecting the body, and restriction of emotional responses; usually associated with cataleptic stages or deeper. Intellectual Suggestibility The type of hypnotic suggestibility in which a subject fears being controlled by the operator and is constantly trying to analyze, reject, or rationalize everything the operator says. With this type of subject the operator must give logical explanations for every suggestion and must allow the subject to feel that he is doing the hypnotizing himself. Sympathetic - Parasympathetic The two divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System. Sympathetic When activated causes physiological changes to occur, preparing the body for fight/flight. Parasympathetic A self-regulating, stabilizing system that brings a person back to a state of balance, or homeostasis. Systematic Desensitization The process of inducing a relaxed state in the client and then having him/her visualize or imagine an event that was traumatic to him or her in the past. The relaxation then becomes the dominant force, and as the client begins to relate to being relaxed and calm while relating to the trauma area, he/she allows for removal or desensitization of the trauma. Theory of Mind The mind is divided into four areas; all of which must be affected to enter the state of hypnosis. The Primitive Area Part of the subconscious and established from birth. It contains the fight/flight response and the fears of falling and loud noises. The Modern Memory Area Also a part of the subconscious and contains all of a person's memories (Knowns). The Conscious Area Formed around the age of 8 or 9, and is the logical, reasoning, decision making part of the mind. The Critical Area Also formed around the age of 8 or 9, filters message units and accepts or rejects them from entering into the Modern Memory. If the Critical Area is overwhelmed, it breaks down, activating fight/flight, causing a hypersuggestible state, that is, hypnosis. Venting Dreams The third stage of dreaming (after Wishful Thinking and Precognitive Stages), characterized by the mind's attempt to vent, or release, the overload of message units accumulated during the day.

HOW HYPNOTHERAPY CAN HELP > Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Services in Los Angeles and Santa Monica - How hypnotherapy can help you Many people ask, "What does a Hypnotherapist do, exactly?" Let's take a few moments to explore that. But first, ask yourself this: are you truly fulfilled in all areas of your life, right now? These could include your finances, your career, your relationships, self-care, your physical surroundings. Can you clearly articulate what fulfillment looks like to you in all of these areas? Do these align with your core values? Your talents? Your gifts? Are you living your life consistently with all of those, right now? Most importantly, do you have an action plan and know how to move purposefully towards your goals and dreams and by when? This is where I assist. As your hypnotherapist, my role is to align your values, gifts and talents with not only how you are leading your life, but how you want to be leading your life. I assist you in identifying who you truly are, thus determining your true essence. Together, we then begin a process aligning your essence and purpose with all aspects of your life. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to investigate your true self, your spirit, and enable you to work from your most resourceful place. My philosophy is that you are the source of your own best answers, I simply facilitate the process in which you can explore and discover them. Once you are clear on what is most important to you and what fulfillment and success look like, we then together determine your action plan for you to begin meaningfully moving towards your goals and dreams. In its simplest form, hypnotherapy is a partnership between you and your hypnotherapist to ultimately deliver a greater sense of fulfillment and well-being for you in your life. What differentiates me from other hypnotherapists and coaches is my ability to connect you to your true, authentic self. My method and coaching techniques focus you not only on what you need to do to achieve your goals, but also on how you want to feel as you achieve them. This ensures that you are moving towards what you truly want, not what you think you want. The end result: fulfillment and success. For me to begin this journey with you, you are motivated to make positive change in your life. You are accountable for your actions and where you are at in your life. You are ready and willing to make a commitment to yourself to make meaningful progress towards a more fulfilled life. You are willing to honestly investigate yourself, your life and define what a fulfilled life truly looks like to you.

Hypnotherapy helps you take control of your life and reach your highest level of excellence. Call today for a free preliminary phone consultation. A PROVEN METHOD FOR CHANGE > Hypnotherapy Los Angeles - Healing - Addictions - Anxiety - Fears - Performance - Confidence - Motivation If you are struggling to accomplish what you want, if things are just not working, having a trusted and proven method back you in your determination to get more out of life is one of the most resourceful decisions you can make. Based on a powerful combination of Therapeutic Hypnosis, Performance Coaching, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, The Change Method has been developed to help you rapidly access the behaviors you require to unlock your highest potential. The conscious mind – logic, reasoning and will-power– only makes up for 10% of our total mind power. HOW HYPNOTHERAPY WORKS Because the conscious mind makes up only around 10-12% of our total mind power, initiating change at the conscious level can be very difficult. By contrast, the subconscious mind encompasses the other 88-90%. This vast portion of our mind houses the unconscious life script (or "programming") that influences virtually everything we do. And more often than not, we have things going on in it of which we have no idea, like limiting beliefs, blocks, fears, and lots of other faulty programming. If those aren't congruent with our conscious desires—and most of the time they aren't, it’s not hard to see which part of the mind will get its way. Hypnotherapy deals with how an undesired belief or behavior can be unlearned and how a desired one can be learned to replace it. What we do is simply help you reprogram your subconscious mind to make it accordant with what you want consciously, until it translates into a new automatic behavior that is perfectly aligned with your goals and desires. In other words, we help you turn your subconscious mind into a powerful goal machine that works for you and not against you to create positive, lasting changes in your life. NLP has been called "the new methodology of achievement" and is said to be the greatest contribution to behavioral sciences in the last 30 years. NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING “What is it that makes the difference between somebody who is merely competent at any given skill and somebody who excels at the same skill?” Before the development of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), we had explanations as to why we act in certain ways. Since NLP, we have the understanding of how we act in those ways. Used by leaders such as Barack Obama, Bill Gates or Tiger Woods, NLP enables a competent person to turn their old performance into one of excellence. BENEFITS OF NLP ▶ Would you like to have more control over your emotional states and be able to easily change your attitude and perspective? ▶ Would you like to learn the success skills of experts, then consciously and unconsciously reproduce that expert behavior in your own life? ▶ Would you like to know how to motivate yourself and others using the most advanced persuasion techniques? Throughout your sessions, you will learn the very fabric of thoughts and actions and make yours a set of behavioral skills that can be a solid foundation for all of your life goals.

Each one of us deserves to experience high self-confidence and self-worth, and this can be easily achieved utilizing the power and resources of the subconscious mind.

Lose weight easily and naturally with Los Angeles based hypnotherapist Brice Le Roux, a weight control specialist with a successful track record. HYPNOTHERAPY FOR NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS > Los Angeles Hypnotherapy Services - Board Certified Hypnosis For Natural Weight Control & Weight Loss Reach And Maintain Your Weight Goals With The Help Of Therapeutic Hypnosis Most people are able to lose weight. However, the real challenge is not losing weight, but maintaining that loss. Problem is that traditional diets leave you feeling so starved and deprived that you eventually fall back into your old habits, which provide you with a false sense of comfort. The end result is that you regain all the weight you lost and must start all over again if you want to be thinner again. Now suppose there was a safe way to lose weight which did not generate feelings of frustration. One which would leave you with a long-lasting weight loss. One that would no longer require any deprivation at all. That way is through employing the most powerful modality for permanent behavioral change: Therapeutic Hypnosis. My weight control method is all about working with your body and not against it. I customize each program for your individual needs and help you lastingly free yourself of limiting beliefs, negative self and body image, and eliminate cravings. I believe you have everything you need to succeed. You don't really need another crash diet or the latest appetite suppressant. Slimming is about trusting your innate abilities, as you do when you ride a bicycle. You may not remember how scary it was the first time you tried to bike, but you kept practicing until you could ride automatically, without thought or effort. Losing weight may seem similarly beyond you, but it's just a matter of finding your lasting balance. "If you visualize it regularly, it will come to you." Like athletes preparing for competition, visualizing victory readies you for a victorious reality. Vividly imagining a day of healthy eating through hypnosis helps you envision the necessary steps to becoming that healthy eater. Too tough to picture? Find an old photograph of yourself at a comfortable weight and remember what you were doing differently then; imagine resurrecting those routines. Negative, or aversive, suggestions, like "Doughnuts will sicken you," work for a while. But if you want lasting change, you'll want to think positive. The most popular positive hypnotic suggestion was devised by doctors Herbert Spiegel and David Spiegel, a father and son hypnotherapy team: "For my body, too much food is damaging. I need my body to live. I owe my body respect and protection." I encourage clients to write down their own upbeat mantras in addition to listening to their recordings. One 52-year-old mother who lost 50-plus pounds now repeats daily: "Unnecessary food is a burden on my body. I am going to shed what I don't need." "Practice makes perfect." Just like one Pilates class does not produce washboard abs, one hypnosis session cannot shape up your diet. But regularly listening to the audio recordings of your sessions can deeply transform your eating and give you the boost that will: Charge up your resolve to keep to your slimming plan Equip you with powerful, effective ways to make new choices Help you avoid getting ambushed by yourself or others Help you reach and maintain your long-term goals Get in touch The Change Method offers a powerful combination of therapeutic hypnosis and state-of-the-art mental coaching techniques to help you reach and maintain your weight goals.

Lloyd has repeatedly spoken about how she takes time for intense meditation before each game to visualize various positive scenarios between her and the ball. SPORTS PEAK PERFORMANCE HYPNOSIS > Los Angeles Sports Performance Hypnosis & Mental Coaching Services Hypnosis Sports Peak Performance Los Angeles Hypnosis Sports Peak Performance Los Angeles 1/1 Carli Lloyd’s Mental Trick That Helped the US Women’s Soccer Team Win the World Cup Soccer fans were blown away when Team U.S.A. midfielder Carli Lloyd scored three goals in just 16 minutes during the World Cup's finals, inspiring her team to a 5-2 win against rival Japan. She was the first woman to score a hat trick in a World Cup final. Her secret? Mental visualization. Lloyd, 34, has repeatedly spoken about how she takes time for intense meditation before each game to visualize various positive scenarios between her and the ball. “It sounds pretty funny, but over the years and definitely over the last four years, I’ve taken that visualization part to another level,” Lloyd told The Philadelphia Inquirer last week. “I’ve basically visualized so many different things on the field, making these big plays, scoring goals.” She even visualizes how many goals she’d like to score. After Sunday’s game, Lloyd told The New York Times that she visualized scoring four goals in the World Cup Final, adding that she was so in the mental zone at the start of the game that “I feel like I blacked out for the first 30 minutes or so.” Lloyd is hardly the first athlete to use visualization to prepare for a big game. Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tiger Woods and beach volleyball legend Kerry Walsh Jennings are also reportedly fans. “A lot of what we do is visualization,“ Walsh Jennings told USA Today, on her preparation for the 2016 Summer Olympics with teammate April Ross. “So to be able to go a year in advance, to the spot where we plan on winning a gold medal, and to take in the sights, the sounds, the stress, the excitement, that’s going to serve us really well moving forward.” While visualization has a lot of big-name fans, does it actually work? Absolutely, says Nicole Detling, PhD, a psychologist who has worked with the U.S. Olympic team, and founder of sports psychology company HeadStrong Consulting. “The mind doesn’t know the difference between what’s real and imagined,” she tells Yahoo Health. “It’s one of the most effective tools you can use.” Social scientist and executive coach Frank Niles, PhD, tells Yahoo Health that visualization actually tricks your brain into thinking that you’re doing something, creating new mental pathways in the process that you use for memory and learned behavior. As a result, he says, you feel like you’ve done something before and end up feeling more comfortable when you actually do it. “It’s massively effective, as long as you practice it”, says Niles. You can’t just visualize once and have it work.” We often hear about athletes who visualize, but both Niles and Detling say it can be just as effective in everyday life for everything from going on a date to giving a speech. Interested in trying it out? Detling recommends starting small. When you’re at home, close your eyes and imagine yourself at work. Start with the visual — your desk, computer, phone, etc. — and then gradually add in smells and sounds. “The more senses you use in your image the better,” Detling says. Then, build up to visualizations that involve movements, like visualizing yourself running and finishing a 5k or having an important sit-down with your boss. Niles says going through the actual steps, and visualizing yourself completing them successfully is crucial. So, if you’re running a race, picture yourself clearing the mile marker, running through the next big step, and finally completing the race. Of course, you have to actually be a familiar with the actions you’re visualizing in order for them to work. “It’s definitely not dream it and it will come true,” says Niles. If you find that you keep messing up during your visualization, stop doing it. “If you’re practicing incorrectly in your mind, you’re going to do it incorrectly in real life,” says Detling. Otherwise, she explains, you can build up muscle memories and brain patterns that are incorrect, increasing the odds that what you imagined will actually happen. But the best part of visualization is that it only takes a few minutes. “If you take too much time, you’ll start losing attentiveness,” says Niles. “Then your visualization will lose its effectiveness.” Still not sure whether you believe the hype? Just look at Lloyd. Says Detling: “She absolutely looked like she had done that a million times…and she probably had in her mind.” Without a doubt, it is the mind that determines the outcome of our performance and behavior. Working with me, you will benefit from multiple psychological principles and cutting edge mental techniques specifically tailored for you and your sport. In-person office sessions are available Monday-Friday 9am-8pm. I also work with many athletes remotely via FaceTime or Zoom with great success. I normally take my athletes through a 5 to 10 session protocol. In that process, most importantly, we clear all of the mental baggage that interferes with achieving peak performance: useless limiting beliefs, faulty programs, old hurts/injuries, etc. In addition, the athlete learns: intention, self-empowerment, thought control, emotional mastery, self-hypnosis, and how to increase self-confidence. Those skills develop mental toughness and lead athletes to the gateway of "the zone". When we are through, the athlete is able to keep him/herself clear, continue to build confidence with these tools and apply it all to other areas of life. I am most proud that this training helps a lot of young athletes build solid life skills through sport. Call 424-645-7517 or send an email to arrange an appointment time.
