HYPNOTIC MODALITIES

A hypnotic modality refers to the control or modification of human behavior through the influence or creation of belief systems.  Hypnosis, or the development and application of Subconscious Intelligence (SI), is a naturally occurring, collaborative effort between the hypnotherapist and client, and a potentially powerful tool for accessing the subconscious mind while creating improvements through constructive suggestibility.  Suggestibility, or receptivity, is simply the way we learn - the reception & interpretation of information - employed as a means to effect positive or beneficial change.   As behavior is identified, the behavior may be predicted.  As a result, the behavior may also be shaped or modified.  Hypnosis is often determined to be the safest & fastest way to change limiting beliefs & behaviors including, but not limited to:  improved athletic performance, the modification of habits, enhanced communication & confidence, personal motivation, relationship enrichment, relaxation & stress reduction, self-awareness, self-control, positive self-image, smoking/tobacco use cessation,  effective study habits, overcoming test anxiety, experiencing wellness, healthy eating, or adherence to established exercise & weight control disciplines.

"The purpose of hypnosis as a therapeutic  technique is to help you understand and gain more control over your  behavior, emotions or physical well-being."

 - The Mayo Clinic

While hypnosis was approved as a valid treatment by the American Medical Association (AMA) in 1958, a Hypnotherapist is not a licensed physician or psychologist and hypnosis services are not licensed by the State of North Carolina.  Reputable Hypnotherapists possess bona fide credentials related to accredited training, consistently seek continuing education & experience, maintain professional memberships/affiliations, and professional liability insurance. My provided services are non-diagnostic and do not include the practice of medicine, psychology, or psychiatry, nor should they be considered as a substitute for licensed medical, psychological, or psychiatric services and/or procedures, even when working upon referral by, and in collaboration with, licensed health care practitioners/providers. 

"Hypnosis can help.  A growing body of  research supports the ancient practice as an effective tool in the  treatment of a variety of problems, from anxiety to chronic pain." - Newsweek
