Clinical Hypnosis

CLINICAL HYPNOSIS

Clinical Hypnosis refers to the suggestive use of a trance state to treat a mild habit disorder, without having to explore the underlying or root cause of the disorder. This is its primary distinction from Hypnoanalysis.

SMOKING—There are few self-destructive behaviors that are more damaging or expensive than smoking. The medical, and even life threatening, complications caused by prolonged smoking are well known and well documented. Yet, people find that will power seldom is sufficient to overcome the smoking addiction. Not only is smoking hazardous to your health, it is expensive. Most smokers average 1½ packs of cigarettes per day, and with cigarettes now approaching an average price of $6 per pack, most smokers are literally burning up over $3200 per year. Stopping smoking is one of the best medical and financial investments you can make – and you will usually recover your hypnotic session fees within the first three to four months after treatment.

EDUCATIONAL PERFORMANCE—Concentration, memory, increased effective studying, and overcoming test anxiety are expected outcomes of successful treatment of students.

ARTISTIC PERFORMANCE—Hypnosis is useful in enhancing creative performance in the actor, musician, painter, sculptor, and photographer.

INSOMNIA—Is a label describing the persistence of behaviors incompatible with sleep, such as worry and excessive rumination. It is interesting that one of the first effects that patients often report from their practice of hypnosis is deeper and more relaxed sleep.

TINNITUS—Is defined as a sound in one or both ears, such as buzzing, ringing, or whistling, occurring without an external stimulus and usually caused by a specific condition, such as an ear infection, the use of certain drugs, a blocked auditory tube or canal, or a head injury. Hypnosis has demonstrated the ability to reduce, and in many situations completely eliminate this unpleasant experience.

TMJ—The jaw clenching-muscle clamping-pain cycle of temporomandibular joint syndrome can usually be reduced or eliminated with clinical hypnosis.
