Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis enables you to realize a state of heightened concentration. It is used to help you reach a state of deep relaxation. Your concentration is intensely focused, and you are receptive to therapeutic suggestions.

You can learn to imagine reaching your goals. You can learn to motivate yourself by becoming more keenly aware of your body, mind and behavior. You can learn to identify what your body should feel, your mind should think and your behavior should express to achieve your best performance.

With goal setting, you can focus on your short-term, intermediate and long-term goals.

With specialized instruction and practice, you can learn to visualize in great detail the emotions, physical actions and attitudes that can bring to fruition the desired results. With this approach, you can achieve confidence and trust in performing under pressure. Once you have assimilated the mental skills, you can lift yourself far beyond your present performance levels.

Behavior therapy emphasizes changing specific behavior, like a fear of flying, by replacing it with a more desirable response. You and your therapist analyze the behavior and devise ways to change it. You will carry out specific instructions between sessions. Behavior therapy is most effective with focused problems like a fear of public speaking, driving, etc.

Cognitive therapy, like behavior therapy, aims to change specific habits, but it emphasizes the habitual thoughts that underlie those habits. Behavior therapy and cognitive therapy are often combined. Cognitive therapy is best for problems where your habitual ways of thinking about yourself make things worse, like mild depression and low self-esteem.
