Clinical Hypnosis
Hypnosis should be interesting, instructive, powerful, and gracious."
Milton Erickson, M.D.
Hypnosis has been defined as focused mental attention/absorption combined with imagination and suggestion. When used for the purposes of creating positive change or enhancing psychological, emotional, or physical health, it is sometimes referred to as clinical hypnosis.
Research has shown that all hypnosis is 'self- hypnosis.' Everyone who learns to utilize the benefits of hypnosis is using a process that is God given and entirely natural. This ability to selectively focus attention and add intended suggestion & imagery is a talent possessed by everyone, whether you know it or not.
Whether you know how to beneficially use your own hypnotic talent or not, it is an ability that belongs to you, not to the expert or person offering guidance or assistance.
No one can make you use this ability, and no one can stop you either. This creative power is yours, not mine. When you are using your hypnotically focused mind, you are awake, aware, and in control.
My style of hypnosis encourages a sense of well-being, comfort, and confidence in self-utilization that doesn't require on-going dependency on me. My credentials include membership in and certification by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, advanced Diplomate status with the National Board of Certified Clinical Hypnotherapists, membership in the International Hypnosis Research Institute, and past-president of NC Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
