REALIZE YOUR REALITY WITH REALIZE HYPNOSIS®

Hypnotherapy is simply guided hypnosis. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and increased mental focus. Hypnotherapy takes place in a profoundly relaxed, yet completely aware and natural state. Our specialist uses a series of techniques, including mental imagery, to guide clients into a deeply relaxed, highly-focused state where they can create the positive changes they are seeking. 

In this relaxed and focused state using concentration the ideas or suggestions expressed by the therapist are generally experienced more vividly, which in turn creates a new awareness. Depending on a person‘s motives, there may be a shift in attitude about specific subject matters, such as habits, thought patterns, outlooks and emotions. The only requirement for getting therapeutic results is that the person has a conscious desire to change, or in other words, they are in agreement with the suggestions. 

During hypnosis, a trained hypnotherapist induces a state of intense concentration or focused attention. The trance-like state you enter may appear similar to sleep in many ways, but you're fully aware of what's going on.

Hollywood and stage performers have created large misconceptions around hypnosis to the detriment of one of the most effective treatments for mental health and habit change. Hypnotherapy is a legitimate form of therapy, American Health Magazine found hypnotherapy helped people successfully recover 93% of the time after an average of 6 session, compared to Psychoanalysis with 38% recovery after an average of 600 sessions. The results are clear. 

At Realize Hypnosis® we promise you will not cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog.  Hypnosis cannot detach the ego. As a general rule, if a client were given a suggestion he or she did not agree with, he or she would simply refuse, laugh at it, or awaken from hypnosis. In stage hypnosis the volunteers are usually under the influence of alcohol and have come to the show for the purpose of relaxing, acting silly and having a good time so they are easily encouraged to do so. If an individual deems their inner character traits inappropriate, they do not reveal them. It's that simple. 

Your will, beliefs and values continue to stay intact during hypnotherapy. It's not our desire to change those anyway. Hypnotherapy puts you in control of your life. We do not take away any of your free will, ever. The client willingly allows relaxation and the hypnotic state to take place, while having the ability to stop the session at any time but why would you? After all, we are here to help support you in achieving your goals and find lasting success. Our goal is to help you become the ruler of your own reality. Don’t let the myths hold you back from changing your life for the better!

As deep relaxation occurs, our specialist is able to facilitate the release of stress, stuck emotions, limiting beliefs, bad habits and negative patterns of thinking or behavior. Then replacing and reframing them in a more positive, forward looking way which is most beneficial for helping you achieve success. This is why Hypnotherapy is such a powerful and profound way of treating anxiety and depression. 

In this relaxed and focused state the client begins to experience clarity and find solutions to problems. They are also more open and receptive to the positive suggestions that our specialist gives to help them align with and achieve their desired outcome. Hypnotherapy helps address and remove blocks on the subconscious level, which often lead to persistent, usually mounting problems such as anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia and even bad habits like over eating, drinking and smoking. 

The subconscious is the area of the mind where emotions, memories and habits are all stored. Hypnotherapy works directly with the subconscious mind, shifting old habits and behavior patterns, this makes it highly effective for weight loss and helping people quit smoking. 

Yes, provided an individual has normal physiological and psychological functioning and therefore has the ability to concentrate and relax. As long as a normal human being is willing, he or she may undergo hypnosis. Insusceptible people are simply not willing. There is a positive correlation between a persons willingness to relax and concentrate and the ability to undergo hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind given to us for self improvement, just as sleep is a state given to us for rest. 

You've likely experienced hypnosis before while being completely absorbed in an activity you liked or while watching a good movie. During that period you probably lost all sense of time and hours could have past without you realizing it. You were not asleep or unaware of what you were doing during that time, you were just so focused and absorbed in the task or in watching the movie that everything else seemed to disappear and was temporarily blocked out from your awareness. 

Does this sound familiar? If so, then rest assured you have already experienced hypnosis before, so you can certainly do it again. If you can follow instructions, you can be guided into a state of hypnosis. The key is your desire; if you want to and you put forth effort you'll have no trouble making hypnotherapy work for you.

You’ve likely heard about people who’ve quit smoking or lost weight with the help of hypnosis but if you’re envisioning staring at a swinging pocket watch or being magically compelled to kick the habit, that’s not what we’re talking about. 

Hypnotherapy is a well-studied treatment modality, with quite a bit of clinical data to support it. In fact, Milton H. Erickson, MD, the psychiatrist who introduced hypnosis to the American Psychological Association in the 1950s, had more than 10,000 case studies.
