Hypnosis

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis can be defined in many ways. Most simply, it is a state of consciousness: a natural state of heightened inner awareness. Believe it or not, you shift in and out of trance states naturally throughout your daily life (like, when reading a story, watching a show, meditating, or daydreaming - to name a few). With hypnosis techniques, you can use this natural ability intentionally to direct your mind towards positive outcomes and improvements in your state of being.

The trance state can help you to transcend old thought patterns and behaviors, creating new neural pathways and possibilities. Hypnosis helps you become receptive to change, opening the mind to suggestions and visualizations designed to address your goals. Hypnosis can also open a gateway for connecting with intuition, communicating with the body, discovering new perspectives in your life situation, and generating creative solutions.

Hypnosis has changed my life in surprising and positive ways. Hypnosis has also taught me the value of playfulness, ease, and relaxation in the change process. In the words of Milton Erikson:"You use hypnosis not as a cure, but as a means of establishing a favorable climate in which to learn."

Some of the ways hypnosis can help:

Reducing stress
Training the mind & body for relaxation
Changing habits of thought and behavior
Enhancing self-esteem and self-worth
Activating creativity
Accessing motivation & inner resources
Generating personal growth & self awareness
Supporting those with health challenges through the mind-body connection
Exploring the inner wisdom of your subconscious mind

"Carrie's sessions offer opportunities to drop effortlessly into a state of heightened awareness that feels multidimensional. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for an alternative pathway to explore their consciousness within an environment that feels safe, supported, and entirely geared to individual experience." ~N.G.

Hypnosis is a stand-alone, self-regulated profession. I am trained and certified in hypnosis by the International Hypnosis Federation and The National Association of Transpersonal Hypnotherapists. I am not a licensed healthcare provider nor do I use hypnosis to diagnose or treat medical or mental health disorders.
