So what is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a technique in which a hypnotist guides a subject into a trance state. In the trance state, the the subject becomes more suggestible, which allows the hypnotist to give the subject's subconscious suggestions that can help resolve numerous issues, as well as remove unwanted habits and create new, beneficial habits.
What issues can hypnosis help with?
Hypnosis can help with many different issues. These are some of the common ones I help with:
General issues
Stress and anxiety - Most hypnotic techniques involve relaxation, so they naturally reduce stress and anxiety. Additionally, I can give you a hypnotic trigger to use at any time to reduce stress, anxiety, worry and nervousness.
Insomnia and other sleep issues - Hypnosis works well for quelling an overactive mind and allowing you to fall asleep. We can also work on the issues that are preventing you from sleeping well.
Smoking cessation - Hypnosis can help you quit smoking with no withdrawal symptoms or weight gain. However, for this to work, you have to really want to quit smoking, not just feel you need to. Otherwise, you'll go back to smoking after a few months.
Exercise and diet - Hypnosis can help you stick to a workout regimen and make good food choices. This is accomplished by increasing your motivation, as well as helping you overcome food cravings and laziness.
Childhood traumas - Traumas we experience in childhood can affect us negatively for the rest of our lives. Sometimes, the traumas are hidden away in our subconscious and we're not even aware that our problems stem from them. Hypnosis can help you uncover those traumas and learn to get over them.
Phobias - Phobias are irrational fears, and hypnosis is the best tool to overcome them. I've helped people overcome fear of flying, fear of tight spaces, fear of crowds, fear of public speaking, and many other phobias.
Confidence and self-esteem - Increasing confidence and self-esteem can have a profound effect on your life, from relationships to your work life.
Focus and motivation - Hypnosis can help you increase your focus at work and during exercising or playing sports. It can also help motivate you to work harder and to excel at anything you do.
Men's sexual issues
Erectile dysfunction - A large percentage of ED cases are due to psychological issues, especially anxiety (which can be self-reinforcing). Hypnosis is the perfect tool to deal with that. However, it's a good idea to check with your doctor to ensure there's no physiological cause to your ED.
Premature ejaculation - Hypnosis can help you learn to last longer during sex.
Inability to orgasm - Many men have a hard time orgasming when they're with a partner. This is often due to anxiety, and hypnosis can help overcome that anxiety and have a more fulfilling sex life.
Inhibitions and sexual hangups - Hypnosis can help you get over inhibitions and finally have the kind of sex you fantasize about. It can also help you come to terms with your kinks and fetishes, and get comfortable with exploring them safely.
LGBTQ+ issues
Self-acceptance - Coming to terms with our sexual orientation or gender identity is the first stage to coming out and living freely and openly. Hypnosis can help with this process. It can also help you shed any internalized self-hate you may have.
Coming out - Coming out can be a stressful process, and hypnosis can help keep the stress at bay.
How many sessions does it take to deal with an issue?
It's always hard to predict how many sessions a particular person would need for a particular issue. Everyone responds differently to hypnosis, and each person's issues are unique to that person. We will have a better idea after the first session, and an even better idea in the following week.
Can we deal with more than one issue during a session?
Most definitely!
