Hypnosis

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an experiential process that combines focus, concentration and relaxation to promote positive change and personal growth. The trance state can help to transcend old thought patterns and behaviors, creating new neural pathways and possibilities.

Working with the subconscious mind can help activate deeper-level change where the conscious mind sometimes gets stuck. Hypnosis is one way to shift your consciousness into a state of heightened inner awareness and increased receptivity to change, opening the mind to suggestions and visualizations designed to address your goals. Hypnosis can also serve as a gateway for connecting with intuition, communicating with the body, and discovering new perspectives in your life situation.

Hypnosis has taught me the value of playfulness, ease, relaxation, and creativity 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.

How It Works

We begin with an intake interview where we work together to uncover the patterns that you would like to address and to create goals for our work together. From there we may proceed with an individually scripted session to re-pattern and reinforce your intentions for change. And/or, we may also use hypnosis to explore an inner dialogue with your subconscious mind so that you can gain deeper insight and understanding about an area of focus. I work with each client individually to determine an approach based on your goals and circumstances.

Sessions may be in-person in Wilmington, NC, or virtual on Zoom. Questions? Contact me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

*I do not use hypnosis to diagnose or treat medical or mental health issues, but as a tool for self-help and personal change. Hypnosis is not a replacement for medical or mental health treatment, though it may be used in the context of clinical therapy. You may benefit from using hypnosis as a complementary service in combination with other treatment modalities.
