Hypnotic age regression/progression techniques

Most of my work utilizing hypnosis and hypnotherapy is a client remaining motionless as I "rock" them into a trance using progressive relaxation techniques. I use metaphorical or direct suggestive material gleaned from a diagnostic "trance", productive interview techniques, and their stated intentions. The client is receptive and passive in the trance process. Hypnotherapy is a very effective method to assist clients to develop increased subconscious awareness to habitual patterns of thinking or behavioral patterns.

Age regression/progression hypnotherapy is interactive with clients. Once a client is induced into a trance they are then brought up into increased consciousness and asked to go back to a memory or in the case of age progression project themselves forward in time to an event they foresee. It is a highly beneficial technique for clients to experience. I have had many clients experience monumental growth-enhancing moments in this work. Many clients are able to recall memories they have repressed and need to process. This technique opens up the subconscious mind to channels that had been closed off WHEN they are prepared to do so in a safe milieu.

These techniques are difficult to learn but are a very worthwhile endeavor to become accomplished in. I teach these skills and techniques here at the Suffolk Institute for Hypnotherapy and offer certification through the American Board of Clinical Hypnotherapy. A new class is beginning on January 9th, 2009. This seminar is an all day event beginning at 7:30am and ending at 6pm. All attendees will have completed all coursework required for ABCH certification. Call me to enroll for this seminar.

If you are interested in beginning hypnotherapy for a particular issue please contact me at 880-2531 and I would be very happy to provide information and perhaps set up an appointment to work together with you. Hypnotherapy is highly effective for a variety of issues including, but not limited to, smoking cessation, weight loss, stress and anxiety, phobias, and extinction of unwanted habits.
