Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a method for accessing the unconscious, which is where old learning is held like programing on the hard drive of a computer. It is a gentle, enjoyable process of getting below surface thoughts and discovering deep seated beliefs, patterns and pictures about how life works. Once these images, memories, beliefs and feelings are brought into awareness, they can be updated and unlearned. The Transpersonal element refers to bringing the spritual resources into contact with these old patterns, which is naturally transformative. Hypnosis is gentle, relaxing and enjoyable. When clients feel safe and ready, it is quite easy to slip into a "trance," and then to learn to take yourself there on your own.

Hypnosis creates changes in the outer life which are organic and often effortless. Best of all, since we are working with "programing" on the deepest level, changes are usually permanent!

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing)

This is a very quick and effective treatment for trauma and negative beliefs associated with painful past expereinces. Frozen experiences from the past are brought to awareness in a fashion which allows the brain to digest and release negative patterns. It is similar to a natural type of healing which occurs durring sleep, with the addition of being able to target specific memories and associated beliefs. To date, EMDR has helped an estimated half a million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological distress. In a single session, a particular belief can be cleared and a painful memory will lose its emotional charge. The number of sessions required depends on the amount of trauma to be addressed. EMDR is also very successful in clearing the urges associated with addictions of all types.

Body-Centered Psychotherapy

We will work with present-centered awareness of the body to uncover the patterns of tension and numbing which are responsible for discomfort and feeling stuck. Breathwork is used to soften and release pain, unconscious holding patterns, and to connect more deeply with all the layers of the psyche.

Combining this with hypnosis is a wonderful and effective approach for healing physical symptoms as well as psychological issues. We can discover the roots of illness and bring transformation from a deep level. This allows both traditional and alternative types of healing work to become more effective. Additionally, working with the body in this fashion leads to a stronger sense of aliveness, more natural joy and expressiveness. Life becomes more full and sensual.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a new and powerful, exceptionally focused method of healing developed from EMDR. It works by identifying, processing and releasing deep neurophysiological sources of emotional/body pain, trauma, and a variety of other challenging symptoms. Eye focus is combined with bi-lateral sound, typically music (panning left to right), which creates a meditative and profound healing experience. It allows you to locate, process, and release experiences and symptoms that are typically out of reach of the conscious mind and may be non-verbal. It works with the deep brain and the body through its direct access to the autonomic and limbic systems within the body’s central nervous system. Brainspotting is accordingly a physiological tool, which has profound psychological, emotional, and physical consequences. It releases trauma, emotional and physical pain and unhealthy beliefs at the deepest level.

The maintenance of a specific eye position with the focus of attention on the felt sense of an issue or trauma stimulates a deep integrating and healing process within the brain. This processing, which appears to take place at a reflexive or cellular level within the nervous system, brings about a release of painful emotional and physiological patterns in a rapid and simple fashion. Brainspotting appears to stimulate, focus, and activate the body’s inherent capacity to heal itself from trauma.

There is growing recognition within the healing professions that experiences of physical and/or emotional injury, acute and chronic pain, physical illness, dealing with difficult medical interventions, as well as many other problematic life events, will contribute to the development of a substantial reservoir of life trauma. That trauma is held in the body. Any person can benefit from clearing any portion of their accumulated emotional or physical trauma.

Brainspotting can be an effective and efficient treatment tool for:

Physical and emotional trauma
Eating/weight issues
Stress and trauma-related medical illness
Performance issues, including sexual dysfunction
Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions
Addictions (especially cravings)
ADD and ADHD
Phobias
Asthma
Preparation and recovery from surgery
Anger and rage problems
Anxiety and panic
