I cannot stop smoking and would like to know if hypnotherapy can work for me.
I’m interested in hypnosis, but scared. What if stuff comes up during hypnosis that I don’t want to know about or I’m not ready to deal with?
Nonny (age 6.5) asks, “How do you hypnotize someone?”
Niall (age 9) asks: Why does it look like mind control when someone is under hypnosis?
I recently got my cast off after I broke my arm. Can hypnosis help minimize the pain?
I recently had a successful first session with you and was amazed at how completely different my reaction was today to harsh criticism that was undeserved than in the past. I remained very calm and responded with pure logic and my “case” was won in two different situations today without any stress on my part. No emotional over-anxious response!
I heard with my conscious mind everything you said during my session, while being aware that I was in a very deep relaxed state. My sleep has been great, by the way!
My questions is tied to my desire to understand how it is that my mind no longer responds to the pressure I was feeling before which I thought was an emotional response based on past situations where I felt attacked and helpless. But it seems that my mind is now able to be rational under pressure and that sort of button can no longer be pushed? Can you explain how it works?
Hi Susan, I am wondering if hypnotherapy can be used to forget things (lock things away) that have been painful in ones life, kind of the reverse of unlocking memories? Also, can hypnotherapy be used to help with PTSD?
Thanks!

Lori, you do not want to lock things away permanently. It’s impossible and only makes those negative emotions burn hotter until they start coming up more often in the forms of flashbacks, panic attacks, etc. You can’t run away from trauma. I use hypnotherapy in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) all the time and this is how we resolve the problem so you can live a free life. The memories and emotions need to be separated so that you can get rid of the pain, shame, guilt, anger, etc., and then we can deal with the memories so they become simply plain memories that can’t. On many occasions, I also work with a psychotherapist.
This is a really wonderful question and I will address it directly in the near future.
