Q: What may be
included in my appointment?
A:
Each appointment
is different depending on the client’s goal, coaching, tools and methods
utilized. During your first appointment, together, we will review
your wellness objective, timeframe, and select methods to accomplish
reaching your target. Sessions can include a variety of methods,
approaches, & techniques. All are simple, easy and effective.
Q: How will I feel
in a session using imagery, visualization, hypnosis, focused relaxation technique,
etc?
A:
Wonderful! Most every session involves being in a
relaxed state of mind. So always expect to be relaxed, present and
focused. The focus is always on you! All my clients LOVE the feeling of
being so deeply relaxed and peaceful.
Relaxation Methods
Q: I have
never utilize visualization or self-hypnosis- what does it feel like?
A: Each is a very relaxing state of mind. Self-hypnosis is a natural,
normal, relaxed and focused state of mind different but very similar to guided
imagery, visualization and meditation. You actually do visualize or
receive "hypnosis" daily, but without your specific intent.
Q:
Does a person maintain "control” while deeply relaxed?
A: Always!
You are always in control and your subconscious mind will
not allow you to accept suggestions or wording that conflicts with your
values, morals or personal beliefs. As you Wellness Coach, I am your guide
and I specialize in assisting
you to connect and reach a relaxed state of mind. You simply allow this
natural process to
easily happen, willingly, just like when you get engrossed in a good movie or
focused reading a book or even like daydreaming.
Q: Will I remember the
session?
A: Yes, most clients
remember most of or all of the session. Most importantly, your subconscious
mind will hear everything as it is always awake. This is the part of your
mind that takes in the suggestions for positive change and controls
virtually all of your autonomic body functions.
Q:
Does visualization-self-hypnosis always provide results?
A: YES! Visualization and self-hypnosis are always successful! And they do so very easily,
safely, and effectively. In fact, you are already experiencing the
effects of it in your daily life. We all are "hypnotized" or
"guided visually" to think, believe, suggest or influence our thoughts.
Usually this is not known by your conscious mind. The majority of
my clients who see to be "hypnotized" are really going to be
"de-hypnotized" to remove, eliminate or shift a thought pattern or
suggestion that is not working for them. My clients are
happy with this process and are pleased to know it is safe, normal,
natural and that they can learn and with practice and guidance,
successfully use this process with intent to create more of what they do
want in their life! All clients happily receive many more benefits from
these sessions than expected or even thought possible! All receive, new and
unnoticed benefits from sessions and CD's many, many months after their
session or program. The benefits are for life....yours! The mind
is truly amazing!
Q: How deeply relaxed do
I need to be to receive the suggestions successfully?
A: Not necessarily deep at
all – in fact, many clients prove to receive and notice benefits from being in a light
to mid level of relaxation. Whatever level you achieve is just the
right one for you!
