Positive Mental Attitude.
This is an attitude that i have and have been using since 2014. NLP has given me this thought process in everything I do and encounter. There's always a positive out of a negative.
In some way, its been a mantra for me since a life threatening event, it has become more and more of my "go to" attitude. Having experienced many things in life, it now serves me well.

Hypnotherapy Myths !!!
-
Hypnosis is mind control: Hypnosis is not mind control. It is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility. The person being hypnotized is always in control and can choose to accept or reject suggestions.
-
Hypnosis can make you do things against your will: Hypnosis cannot make you do anything against your will or moral code. You are always aware of your actions and can refuse to comply with any suggestion.
-
Hypnosis is only effective on weak-minded individuals: Hypnosis can be effective on individuals with a wide range of personalities and cognitive abilities. It is not a sign of weakness or gullibility.
-
Hypnosis is the same as sleep: Hypnosis is not sleep. Although it can induce a deeply relaxed state, you remain awake and aware throughout the process.
-
Hypnosis is a magical or supernatural phenomenon: Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that has been studied and used for therapeutic purposes for centuries. It does not involve any supernatural or magical powers.
There are several differences between a hypnotist and a certified clinical hypnotherapist. A hypnotist utilizes short-term hypnosis for entertainment purposes and intentionally attempting to humiliate someone to obtain laughs. Hypnotist also may or may not have training in hypnosis; some hypnotists are self-proclaimed, have no training other than self-taught, and trial and error efforts.
A certified clinical hypnotherapist is the complete opposite. A certified clinical hypnotherapist utilizes hypnosis for long-term changes towards personal change and development. Clinical Hypnotherapist have received training and engaged in yearly continued education to provide the best ecology possible for client’s personal development and desired outcomes.
Why Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is considered a holistic approach to healing because it aims to address the root causes of problems by treating the whole person, including their physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects.
Hypnotherapy is based on the idea that the mind and body are interconnected, and that the mind has the power to influence physical health and wellbeing. Through hypnosis, I can help clients access their subconscious mind and create positive changes in their thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors.
Holistic therapies like hypnotherapy are often used in conjunction with traditional medical treatments to provide a more comprehensive approach to healing. By addressing the underlying causes of issues and promoting overall wellness, hypnotherapy can help people achieve a greater sense of balance and wholeness in their lives.
Hypnotherapy is a type of therapy that uses hypnosis as a tool to help individuals achieve a state of relaxation and heightened suggestibility. During a hypnotherapy session, the therapist guides the client into a trance-like state, where the client is deeply relaxed and open to suggestions.
In this state, the client is able to access their subconscious mind and explore thoughts, feelings, and memories that may be causing distress or hindering their progress. The therapist may use different techniques, such as visualization or positive affirmations, to help the client address and overcome their issues.
DOES HYPNOTHERAPY REALLY WORK?
Studies have shown that hypnotherapy can be an effective way of reducing symptoms and easing side effects of a number of issues, including pain management, stress, PTSD, anxiety, stopping smoking, and more.
Hypnotherapy is a type of mind–body intervention in which hypnosis is used to create a state of focused attention and increased suggestibility in the treatment of a medical or psychological disorder or concern.

Ever wondered what went wrong and how to fix it?
Do you have a positive need to change things in your life?
One of the best things about hypnotherapy is its ability to help people make positive changes in their lives quickly and effectively. Hypnotherapy can be used to address a wide range of issues, from anxiety and depression to phobias and addiction, and it can often produce results in just one session.
Another great thing about hypnotherapy is that it is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that can be used alongside traditional medical treatments or as a standalone treatment. This makes it a safe and accessible option for many people.
Hypnotherapy is also a client-centered approach, meaning that I can work collaboratively with you to identify and address your specific needs and goals. This personalized approach can help clients feel empowered and in control of their healing journey.
Finally, hypnotherapy can provide not only symptom relief but also a deeper understanding of the underlying issues that may be contributing to the problem. By addressing these root causes, hypnotherapy can help clients create long-lasting positive changes in their lives.
