Trauma is widespread.
,
It’s inside you. In your story. It’s in mine. Even though the trauma is not our fault, our response often includes self-shame reactions to whatever happened.
1. Loss of control: Many people believe that under hypnosis, they will lose control of their thoughts, actions, or behaviors. In fact, you remain fully conscious and in control of yourself. In hypnosis, you access a part of yourself that is a little more open to your feelings and memories.
2. Mind Control: There is a misconception that a hypnotist can implant thoughts or ideas against your will. In fact, hypnosis is a way to give yourself a pep talk that sinks deeper into you –your words help you.
3. Revealing Secrets: Some fear that hypnosis will lead them to inadvertently reveal deeply personal or embarrassing secrets. However, in therapeutic hypnosis, you retain the ability to filter what you share. Also, as a certified trauma-informed sexologist, I will only guide you through those things that you have expressed during our pre-hypnosis intention-setting conversation – things that you want to heal. The great thing about hypnosis is that although it may seem magical, you are always in control and aware of what is happening.
4. Immediate results: There is a misconception that hypnosis can produce immediate or miraculous results after just one session. While some people may experience immediate progress, hypnotherapy often requires many sessions to achieve lasting change. That’s why I’m leading you through six 5-PATH hypnotherapy sessions, designed to release limiting beliefs that have kept you stuck despite years of therapy or other personal development work.
5. One size fits all: There is a misconception that hypnosis takes a one-size-fits-all approach, with identical techniques and scenarios used for every client. In fact, before we begin hypnosis, we will spend four sessions together during The Quickie which will allow me to tailor our hypnosis sessions to your unique goals, needs and response to hypnosis.
Overall, therapeutic hypnosis is a safe and effective therapeutic tool when conducted by trained professionals. The immersive training I received in 2023 both in person and online gives me the experience to successfully support you using hypnosis.
If you have low desire or sexual aversion, orgasm concerns, erectile dysfunction, or are dealing with something in your past that makes you uncomfortable with sex, and would like to learn more about hypnosis and whether it might be right for you – schedule a free call with me.
It’s so uncomfortable to talk about. I understand. But when you start gently with an open heart and no pressure, it will be much less painful than you imagine.
