Phone Sessions

For more than twelve years I have been doing sessions with people across the country. Many clients have referred me relatives or friends living in other states who need help and cannot find a competent therapist near where they live. Some have found me via the internet as well.

Hypnosis Over The Phone?

Remember how hypnotherapy works: 1) A person wants to change something in their lives, 2) I explain what motivates their behavior from a subconscious level, 3) we create a strategy for change, 4) we use the tool of hypnosis to help the client become receptive, or very suggestible to the strategy, and act out the change.

Hypnotizing over the phone is relatively easy in that I actually guide the person into the state. I guide them through the three body changes (physiological changes) that occur as they enter hypnosis.

The next step is to progressively relax the body so the person really feels the relaxation (most feel a great depth of relaxation in hypnosis while remaining mentally alert.)

Then comes the suggestion for change, actually replacement reactions and/or behaviors. After the suggestions we "count out" of hypnosis, using the opposite count ("0-1-2-3-4-5, eyes wide awake") of how we counted into hypnosis ("5-4-3-2-1-0, deep hypnotic sleep.")

Something New

In the past I would make a reinforcement tape recording of the hypnosis part of the sessionm and mail it to the client. While I can still do that I can now digitally record (the hypnosis) and send it attached to an e-mail as an mp3, which one can upload to an iPod or simply listen to on their computer.
